The winger endured a difficult spell in East Yorkshire, hampered by injury
Robert Snodgrass admits he looks back on his Hull City career with fondness, as the Glasgow-born winger reflects on an injury-hit time in East Yorkshire.
City, under Steve Bruce, paid around £6m to sign the Scotland international from Norwich City in June 2014, but he suffered a serious knee injury shortly after moving to the KC Stadium, as it was then.
Snodgrass would go on and play 21 times in the Premier League for City and make 56 appearances in total with 14 goals and 10 assists to his name, before he ended up moving to West Ham United just under three years later.
“It was kind of up and down where I did well in a Hull City shirt, I scored goals, I won a promotion with them, but I was out for 18 months with a long injury,” he told Boylesports.
“I got told that I would probably never play football again at any sort of level. So to come back and win a promotion with them at Wembley was special.
“Then, to do well in the Premier League, I scored seven, eight goals by January. While I look at that from a personal point of view, it felt as if I was doing everything to try to pay the club back.
“You look back and have fond memories, I had some great ones with them and the support and the help that I was given to get back on the pitch by the physio team.
“I still speak to a lot of those guys behind the scenes at Hull City, they’re all still there. I still have a great relationship with everybody at all the clubs I’ve been to.
“I just wanted to be remembered as the guy who probably was a good teammate first and foremost, which was big for me and someone who honoured the traditions of the badge and tried to give everything. Whether that was good enough or not, I don’t know.”
