We were saddened to hear of the passing of Mick Scott, (OH 1943- 51), one of Hull RUFC most loyal supporters. We enjoyed spending time with Mick at recent Old Hymerian events and enjoyed a rugby tale or two over the years with him and his OH peers.

We recently wrote an article after Mick's 90th birthday celebrations sharing his love of Rugby. Mick celebrates 90

Rugby had played a very significant part in his life since his schooldays. Mick learnt his rugby at Hymers College and was a regular member of the 1st XV.  He played senior rugby at the very early age of sixteen playing a game for Hull & East Riding. However,the Old Hymerian authorities took a dim view of this! Mick was quickly brought into the Old Hymerians team.  He was Captain of the O H Rugby team several times and played in their famous winning team that won the Yorkshire Cup in the late fifties.

Mick had started his rugby life as an off half but moved into the back row where he played with distinction for many years. Mick was one of the few remaining members of the Old Hymerians Yorkshire Cup winning side of 1958 which remains one of the great highlights of the club's history. Mick was joined on the Old Hymerians side by his brothers Ian and Harvey who played centre and hooker respectively. When all three played in a game at Gateshead in the late sixties they were joined by three Chapman brothers and two Gore brothers which must be some sort of record!
