A lifelong Hull FC supporter has been given the surprise of his life today when the Rugby League Challenge Cup arrived at his home.

Eric Gibbons, from Cottingham, has only recently returned home after a long spell in hospital and a care home, following a serious stroke.

The 83-year-old has been a Black and Whites fan for more than 70 years.

When the club heard about Eric's return home they sent ex-Hull FC favourite Iafeta Paleaaesina along with the Challenge Cup to meet him.

Hull FC won the cup in 2016 and 2017, but won't win it this year as they lost to St Helens.

So, before it goes back, they took the cup along for Eric to see.

His son, a journalist at BBC Yorkshire, says Mr Gibbons was "very surprised and thrilled".
