Bruce Ryan was a great favourite at the Boulevard, Hull,before moving to Leeds.
He was my first Rugby League Hero, when I was a young boy.

I can confirm that Bruce Ryan played for Hull FC from 1947-1950 before transferring to Leeds.Was there ,aged 10, among the estimated 4000 crowd at Paragon station when he arrived in Hull. He became my favourite Hull player and I went to almost every home match he played in during his 3 seasons at the club.
