    Here here

    A fantastic servant for BCAFC and I only have happy memories of his time with us, scoring some crucial goals and battering defenders

    When my lad was a nipper he absolutely adored big James Hanson, and he would always stop for a photo - even when we bumped into him at Leicester Forest services after he left us. For that I’ll always be thankful

    All the best Hans

    Yep. I'd put him in the legend category for us (although not much competition!). Always a handful. Won his fair share of aerial duals,held the ball up and defended opposition set pieces. Best £7,500 we've spent!

    I think it's only fitting that as his most ardent and loyal fan I wish him all the best for the future. Those who knocked him should hang your heads in shame.

    Git up Jim you absolute legend.

    Nothing but praise for him.

    Ran himself into the ground every game wearing City colours. At the centre of the most enjoyable period of watching City since the first season in the PL.

    Wish him all the best for the future.

    I was in class teaching when he buried that header. The kids thought I was losing my mind. Wife joined them when I told her I was flying back to England for a football match. Thank you James Hanson.

    Top man JH, happy retirement…. I just hope it ain’t filling shelves in the Co-Op?

    You certainly participated in bringing happy days to Valley Parade. Stay safe!

    Had just landed in the snow at LBA on the night of the Aston Villa away leg where he scored probably his most memorable goal
    Listened to last 10 minutes in car on way home.

    2nd biggest regret as a city fan not being at that game.
