Hull hero Dean Windass is among a host of players to be released as manager Phil Brown starts to shape his squad for next season.
Windass earned a place in Hull folklore by firing his hometown club into the top flight for the first time with the winner in the 2008 Championship play-off final but Brown can no longer find room for the 40-year-old striker in his squad.
Brown told the Hull Daily Mail: "I've got no animosity or bad blood towards Dean Windass but I wish it could have ended in a more poignant way.
"My advice to him was always to sit on his last year, and accept the plaudits and credit that he deserved. I dare say fate will dictate that we cross paths again in our careers but we wish him all the best."
Reserve players James Bennett, Joe Lamplough, Matthew Plummer and Tom Woodhead have also been released but Will Atkinson, Steve Gardner and Ryan Kendall are retained.
Youth team products Nathan Hanley and John Leonard have been awarded one-year professional contracts and young player of the year Tom Cairney has signed a two-year contract.

Chilla Black , what a prats name. Have played pro football like Brown or put a football team in the Premiership! NO!!
He does look a strange colour though I'll give you that.
Phil Brown is a dodgy looking halfwit who will get his come uppance next season, simple as that.
Thought it was a bit odd to see so many comments on a hull city story; then i looked at the dross that was being posted from the usual know-nothing suspects.
Windass to be next hull manager, before Xmas!
Excuse me! But I thought the article was about Dean Windass and Hull City?
For all those manchester united fans out there that are still
clinically depressed about the result at the Champions League game

THE LINES ARE RED HOT pmsl!!!!
i think he is too old at 40 he wants to stiill play football, his legs are week. Good decision by Mr. Brown.
Man City or Chelski could do worse than sign Dean (Cleansheet) Windass :-)
TO ALL THE UTD FANS, LETS ALL GET INTO A CAR AND KILL SOME SUPPORTERS
Olivia Rose, you've just become my new best friend. Couldn't have put it better myself. It's obvious that people know that Liverpool are successful and they can't cope with it. Well put!
I think kevin m does not even have a P.R.I.C.K lmfao!!!!
same as he w.a.n.k.e.r.s that talk about the 96 then ?
he'll go to Arsenal...
hamiltonsteve64 - you are a w.a.n.k.e.r. ! No-one deserves that not even man utd fans. grow up p.r.i.c.k
What else is he going to say, no we don't want Barry he's rubbish?!!! Of course he's going to answer the question like that, they are friends and England team mates. If they asked him do you want Crouch back he'd probably say yes!
Any Man Utd fans that would like to see old big ears from Rome should come to ANFIELD to see it pmsl!!!!!!

I thought we lived in a free society and were able to give our opinion which is what Gerrard was doing. He's more than likely been asked the question and he's answered it. He's not telling Rafa who to buy he's just stating his opinion. All the insulting about northerners is cr*p, look in the mirror darren g before you start on northerners. It's the sort of mentality you'd expect from some southerners so crawl back under your rock you sad little boy. You'll be cheering on Gerrard next week when he puts his England shirt on so stop the double standards and just accept he's a great player who has loyalty.
Darren G, it's nice to see you Southern softies wait until youve won a worthless tin pot against a tin pot team in the blues until you post half wit comments, lets face it Moysey couldn't organise a p**s up in a brewery so it wasn't really a glorious triumph beating half a team that only got there thanks to Fergie basically giving them a walk on pass, by the way how long is your latest manager going to last, not that he is bothered he is only there to swell his own bank account, heard his comments before he had even signed his contract, critising and making demands, your doomed with him, players will revolt as is becoming usual, we'll be hearing the shouts for the return of the special dope soon aswell hey? Absolutely clueless, 18 english titles, 5 european, come back when youve matched the most succesfull British of ALL TIME. :)
