Tributes have been flooding in to award-winning and prolific playwright and screenwriter Alan Plater who died from cancer on Friday.
He had moved to the city of Hull as a youngster and was a fervent fan of Hull City and a visiting professor at the University of Hull's drama department.
Staff there remembered him as "a man of outstanding integrity, great breadth of talent, unfailing good humour and a valued friend".
Another of Hull's great writing talents, John Godber, has also revealed that Alan played a major part in helping him launch his own career as a playwright.
John said: "He was a real advocate for Hull and the region and a life-long Hull City fanatic.
"He was also a great bloke."
