Bullard finally at home at Hull
Jimmy Bullard admits he now feels at home at Hull after finally emerging from a 10-month injury nightmare.[LNB] The £5million club record signing at last got his Tigers career up and running by making his long-awaited home debut in Sunday's dramatic 2-1 win over 10-man Stoke in the Barclays Premier League. And the 31-year-old's impact was immediate as he proved the driving force behind a result much needed by under-pressure manager Phil Brown.[LNB] Bullard, who has spent most of the year on the sidelines with a knee injury since joining the club in January, said: "I couldn't wait to get my boots on. I didn't sleep great, I kept waking up, but I finally got there and enjoyed every minute of it."[LNB] He added: "As soon as I set foot on the pitch I felt at home.[LNB] "I enjoyed it from setting foot on the field for the first warm-up. I loved it, to come out to that ovation.[LNB] "It's been a long time, it killed me, and being at a new club probably made it twice as hard.[LNB] "But I've come here to play football and I've done that. To step foot on that field was brilliant for me.[LNB] "I remember looking up about the 82nd-minute mark and I was flagging.[LNB] "I thought he [Brown] could have given me a tug then but I'm glad he didn't."
