Mine too... Chose not to leave.. Bravo. PNE hero all day long. 👍
 
A good old fashioned rock of a defender. Loves the club and never gives less than 100%. Shame he doesn't really fit into the modern tactic of being able to play out from the back, but he's good at what he does - defend. And useful in the opposition box at corners too. A true Nobber.

A great servant to our club, could easily have walked away and signed for other clubs on a number of occasions when managers made it clear he was not in their first team plans.
He always stayed but fought for his place back in the side and always gives 100%, he fully deserves a North End Testimonial game. 👍😀
 
Hunts is a long,long way from being the best player I've seen in a PNE shirt so it says a lot about the man that he is one of my favourites.
Outstanding professional and a PNE legend in his own way.
 
We could possibly do with Hunts for set pieces, I think it said he scored 9 goals one season
 
Back when he first signed, must have been beginning of his 2nd season, North End lads had a game of cricket in preseason against the staff at West Cliff.

I remember Phil Mickelson won the Open from miles back on the same day (I'd had money on Stenson from the start of the week).

Lee Holmes also commented to Kevin Davies when his delivery was called a wide, "do they not know who you are Kev?" which made me laugh along with ribbing him about "how was playing for England for 10 minutes?"

Anyway, back to Hunts. That day all the lads kept themselves to themselves, not really mingling with the fans. Didn't notice it was Hunts, being in plain clothes and he was stood chatting to some fans, I thought he's a tall bugger. Anyway, two minutes later he came over with a drink for me "Hi, I'm Paul, how do you think we'll get on this season?"

Been a hero ever since. Proper man, proper footballer.
