Iain Dowie has revealed he's had to give up skiing lessons to take the Hull City job!

Dowie, who discussed the Hull job with Phil Brown when he bumped into his predecessor at a charity race day in Manchester on Tuesday, has already had to make one big sacrifice after deciding to bounce back into management.

He revealed: "I have been learning how to ski and had half got the hang of it after three lessons! It is a bit of a blow having to knock it on the head."
