Super League Side Hull FC's Danny Houghton, Teammates Pose Nude For Calendar

Super League Rugby side Hull FC fans will get to see their favorite players in a "revealing new light as the first naked calendar of Black and Whites stars was released," according to Henry Saker-Clark of the Hull DAILY MAIL. Hull FC hooker and 2016 Man of Steel Danny Houghton and his teammates "took off their kit as part of a series of events to mark" Houghton's 10-year testimonial. Houghton said that his teammates "did not need any convincing to strip off for the calendar, and were happy to bare some flesh." Houghton said that each month of the calendar "related to a different sponsor for the club." Houghton: “Most of the players have been involved and done it with me. We’ve done all sorts of things. ... There’s a lot of carrying different bits and bobs to hide your bits. There is one where we are covering ourselves using shovels, but there is still plenty of flesh on show." Houghton said that he "received positive comments after the calendar was unveiled at a Hull FC ladies night event" over the weekend (Hull DAILY MAIL, 12/5).
