One of Hull City's oldest and most loyal fans has been honoured by the football club for his 100th birthday.

Noel Hebbs began supporting the Tigers when he was five years old and attended every home fixture for 73 years following the end of World War Two.

At a party to celebrate his birthday in Beverley, representatives from the club surprised Mr Hebbs with gifts and a video message from head coach Ruben Selles.

Mr Hebbs said he was "overwhelmed" to be invited to spend the day as guest of honour at the MKM Stadium for the match against Swansea City on Saturday, when he met Selles and current and former players.
