Top Ten Facts About Hull

No they were our two strikers or centre forward and inside right as it was then. I read recently that Waggy was 70 recently and he is just as popular in the city now as when he was at his peak. At one time Brian Clough wanted to sign him for Derby but in those days the club had the power and we refused the bid. I think it was Kevin Hector he signed instead. Other than my hero of that time Jimmy Greaves I have not seen a more natural goalscorer. Perhaps his finest moment was 2 one on ones with Gordon Banks who ended up sat on his backside with the ball in the back of the net. Chillo on the other hand was the old style target man but he was good on the floor too. He turned into a good coach who perhaps achieved the impossible and made Billy Whitehurst into a striker that Newcastle paid over 200k for when that was a lot. My football club used to get two cup final tickets and raffled them among the players on the proviso that whoever won took somebody else from the club. Me and my mate won them two years running and one of the finals you will remember well (if you are old enough) was when you beat Man U. We were behind that goal and were supporting your team. As usual when they lose the Man U fans left once the game was over. I witnessed though them waiting for your fans and witnessed a father with his young son being attacked an absolute disgrace and I have never forgiven their fans even though my son is now a fan.

May that continue ex players and players we have tried to sign have a nasty habit of scoring against us.

I forgot to ask how is Billy Sharp doing? During January there were a lot of our fans calling for us to sign him. If you look at our goalscoring record you will see why. From my memory I can remember him scoring one goal for you that looked like a miss control.

Saint Nick thanks for not falling into the trap most people do south of the River Humber yes we are in the East Riding of Yokshire and not that ficticious place drempt up by politicians who due to lack of intelligence knew no better. In 1980 the two Hull clubs played each other in the final of the rugby league cup at Wembley and the two teams did well for a few seasons either side of that year so naturally many jumped on the bandwagon. That also was a period when the fortunes of the football club were not that great so again the fickleness of supporters meanÂ´t many football supporters suddenly became egg chasers as we call them. I started watching Hull City around 1964. In 1966 we managed to get promotion from the old third division in addition to taking Chelsea to a draw in the 5th round of the FA Cup. In those days Boothferry Park was rocking to gates in the 30000Â´s and many times were over 40000. More than once we kids could sit inside the perimeter fence due to the numbers. It goes round in cycles but since the 60Â´s Hull has been a footballing city except for about a 10 year period. You have a point about Kingston Jamaica I had forgotten about them. Tomorrow evening while you are enjoying the football I will have to listen on the computer if the connection is any good it is far better being at the match.

As a Hull City supporter this is a good read I like your humour but there are one or two inaccuracies. You have a good point in number 1) but if there was a team in Kingston upon Thames there could be two Kingston Cities. 2) the KC Stadium was built from the proceeds of privatisation but I believe the council maintained a small stake. 3) your greatest error Hull is not a rugby City. If you add up the average attendance at the two rugby teams they would not beat ours. Hull is firmly a football city. 4) just for interest they released an album London 0 Hull 4 in our first season in the Premiership we won all four of our first games against London opposition the album was clearly ahead of its time. 7) we saw you coming. 9) we count Leeds as our chief rival or the white shite as they are known locally. I live in Spain so unfortunately cannot get to the game tomorrow I usually return when we have two matches in the same week but I am expecting a good game between two footballing sides which will make a change from the teams we have played at home recently. I am sorry that you will leave pointless but we will balance that out when we beat West Ham on the last day of the season. I am hoping that you and Reading go up automatically and that we beat West Ham at Wembley. Good luck for the season from Wednesday onwards.
