Former Hull City Star Jacob Greaves Returns to MKM Stadium
Hull City's Jacob Greaves has joked that he hopes to avoid the boo boys when he makes his latest playing return to the MKM Stadium in the Premier League this season. Greaves, who moved to Portman Road two years ago following their promotion to the top-flight, was booed by some City fans in both games last season, both at the MKM Stadium and Portman Road.
