“Totally agree with Chris, Yorkshire - Business is business!”

“It seems Mr Windyarse can do no wrong. So Good riddance to such a perfect specimen of humanity.”

“Good luck to Deano! A Hull City hero today and forever!! Think there should be a testemonial game in memory of Dean for how well he has played for when he eventually retires
Best of luck Deano!

“Reality check now. He scored a goal that won the play off final, that is it.

Does that mean that Phil Brown should include him in the starting lineup at every match?

Hull City is a business and if city go down at the end of the season (I hope not) it will be PB's head on the block not DW's so just let PB do the job he is paid to do.”

“deano can leave with his head held high,must have strong neck muscles!,how apt that he's joining oldan arthritic”

“I will admit to being an armchair supporter of hull city but always kept up with the goings on of the club. I was probably like others who watched the play off on tv, choked up with pride when he scored 'THAT GOAL'. that goal scored by a local boy done good. Also to see the way it was scored could have come from a script of a typical Hollywood ending. That was inspirational and truly moving for lots of reasons.
I think if anyone deserves a new statue tribute it should be him.
Its sad to see him go before the end of the season and if the upper admin team knows a thing or two about team motivation (which Phil brown obviously does) ull should see him come back for the last 2 matches and at the very least the last game at home to do the deserving lap of honour sat on the shoulders of his team mates.
Good luck deano, ive never had the fortune to see you play (being more a rugby man) but followed your fantastic story for years. Hull, the city owes you a lot of thanks.

“good luck deano a true local sporting legend,one of the most important players in the clubs history,a local lad who was a supporter of city,and didnt give up on his dream of playing for the mighty tigers,when first released by the club as a young apprentice,a lesson for all young footballers out there,if you think your good enough,dont give up.”
