Exit the Peacock

Hull City striker and former Bolton favourite Henrik Pedersen has quit English football and returned home to Denmark, for family reasons.

The less than great Dane, was something of a cult figure at the Reebok (watch the spelling there, McCormick) but not for the usual reasons. It wasn`t that he was good. On the contrary, he was a bit rubbish, but Pedders could always be relied on to give his all and didn`t complain, when at the age of 30 he had to convert from centre-forward to left-back, a move which left many Wanderers fans sobbing with fear. Pedersen will be joining former club Silkeborg on returning to his homeland. We wish him well.
