After two years of recurring knee problems Neil Mann returned to full fitness last February when he featured in Hull City's win at Cheltenham. He remains a popular figure with the Tigers fans and received a truly emotional ovation after coming on from the subs' bench in the victory over Leyton Orient the following week. Although unable to re-establish a regular place in the play-off bound team his successful recovery was duly rewarded in March when he was offered a new three-year contract. Neil is a skilful left back or midfield player and the son of former Notts County star Arthur Mann.

Unfortunately, Manny continued to be troubled by injury problems and was forced to retire in November 2002. A popular character in the city, he accepted an offer to join the Tigers' commercial staff shortly before the move to the new Kingston Communications Stadium.
