| Gerrard on holiday last season |
How much are the Hull City fans looking forward to seeing their 'Player of the Season' from last season, not a lot now he is back in a Cardiff City shirt.
The player in question defender Anthony Gerrard spent the whole of last season on loan with the Humberside club after he losing the faith of then manager Dave Jones.
During his time on loan surprisingly featuring in both games against the Bluebirds when Cardiff who had Hull midfielder Seyi Olofinjana on loan come to a deal to play in the games. Gerrard played 44 games, scoring 5 goals.
He returned to Cardiff to an uncertain future, Hull would have like to sign him, but with the aftermath of the play-off failure the club was waiting on the much-fabled Dave Jones report of the next step. It came to pass Jones was sacked and in came a new boy giving everyone a fresh start to prove themselves which Gerrard did.
While Gerrard will be one of the lynch pin of the Cardiff City defence while tomorrow former loan player Seyi Olofinjana, will be out recovering from knee surgery and out for some time. I hope the Hull fans give Gerrard a good reception tomorrow.

Hull fan in peace. I'm sure they will give Gerrard a decent reception, I'll be annoyed if not as there is no reason to give him gripe (it seems most footy fans are arseholes en mass, a lot of home fans generally jump on their own team if they draw or lose at home etc nowadays - urgh... gets my goat, that).
Anyway, Tony was a very solid player for us, was really disappointed that we couldn't get him back, and wouldn't have been surprised if he'd gone to Norwich or another new or lower premiership team, like Danny Ayala (who we loaned from Liverpool for a few months).. I wish him well, as long as we still take at least 4 points off your boys this season ;)
Cheers, from Jeff
A great professional and solid defender - can't see him getting anything but a warm welcome. Your loss was our gain and now your gain is..... I think you know what I'm saying!
