Wellsy4HullFC 3,899 Report post Posted February 26 Awful news. Loved Adam Maher. I'm sure it was him that said he had issues playing under floodlights because if his vision, saying it made it look like there were 3 balls. When asked how he caught it, he just said, "I just catch the middle one." Legend. RIP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lowdesert 2,602 Report post Posted February 26 Excellent 2nd row who didn’t take a backward step. Strong in the tackle and good hands. I have vivid memories of him getting slugged by a Huddersfield player close to the tunnel at the Boulevard. Half a dozen quick punches later the instigator was looking back up at Adam from the ground. Very sad day and our thoughts are with his family today.

That was the moment Adam's status changed from "well respected" to cult hero. We used to call him Unsung because every match report in the Hull Daily Mail referred to him as unsung hero Adam Maher (despite the fact we all realised how good he was). I was both shocked and saddened to hear he'd passed away so soon after his visit to these shores. Thoughts are with his family and friends.
