Dawson admits brother Andy big influence on Hull move

Michael Dawson admits older brother Andy had an influence on his move to Hull City.

The former Tottenham captain made the move to the KC this week.

The 30-year-old enjoyed a hero's welcome when he appeared on the pitch at half-time of Thursday's Europa League tie against Lokeren.

It was a stark contrast to his reception on his previous appearance at the KC Stadium in February's 1-1 draw with Spurs.

"Back then, the fans sang something about me being a worse version of Andy - or words to that effect anyway," he said.

"It was all light-hearted and good fun and I would have given them a wave - but we were losing at the time.

"The reception the other night was massive and it's great to have the fans right behind me."
