We at the Hull Daily Mail have been thinking about what makes the perfect Hull City player.

So we selected ten attributes and the idea was to name the player with the best; first touch, passing, finishing, tackling, heading, power, character, intelligence, leadership and speed.

Throw them all together and collectively you have the perfect Tiger.

To get us started football writer Will Jackson names his perfect player from the current squad and we want to hear from you about who you think would go onto the perfect City player of all time. For the next week we'll be opening the voting to find out who you think is the City player who has been the best passer of a ball that you've ever seen, or who is the quickest.

To whet your appetite for that, take a look at our perfect City player using the current squad.

First touch: Sam Clucas An unsung hero, Clucas has the ability to run a game on his day, and a cracking first touch is where that all starts.

Passing: Tom Huddlestone A candidate for a few of these categories but Huddlestone's passing is arguably the best we have ever seen in a Hull City shirt.

Finishing: Abel Hernandez When he's fit and firing, Hernandez is potent in front of goal, scoring 20 goals for Steve Bruce's Hull City last season.

Tackling: Harry Maguire 'Arry has become a cult hero at City and it's easy to see why. He doesn't take any nonsense at the back, tackling anything that moves.

Heading: Andrea Ranocchia The Italian is 6'5'' and it tells, dominating aerial challenges. He doesn't give strikers a sniff in the air.

Power: Alfred N'Diaye He's huge. From his bullying performances we have seen so far, this guy does not lack strength.

Character: Eldin Jakupovic Never seen a character like him. His enthusiasm is infectious and I'm sure that spreads throughout the team.

Intelligence: Curtis Davies He reads the game well, and rarely has a bad game. Also a candidate for a lot of these categories.

Leadership: Michael Dawson A true leader and fundamental to have at the back. He could have almost single handedly dragged the Tigers back up last season.

Speed: Moses Odubajo A toss up between him and Kamil Grosicki, but the right back nicks it out of sheer loyalty.
