@oncloudseven1 Unnamed Hull City player from 1920's ? Doesn't match any of the Pinnace cards, can you identify, thank you

@TigersEarly @Tonyc02074333 @Tiger_Base Pre war. Great spot.

Can't be certain but I'd say it's likely to be a friendly match played 31 August 1949. A few but not all of the City surnames check out from that era.

Second sub goalkeeper on the city bench today - Archie Howard take the current tally of nearly men (been on the City bench for a senior fixture but never made a debut) to 47. oncloudseven.com/the-nearly-men/

@HullCityAFCAus All good stuff. Regan Slater has one more City appearance than Lewie though.

Most pointless of stats: tonight was Coyle's 218th appearance for City in all comps, which means he's made the most appearances for us since Andy Dawson retired. And since I started watching City (midway through Dawson's career), Coyle is now the player I've seen the most #hcafc

@jamesfletch__ One of Abdus’s finest moments in black and amber.

Still haven’t found my vocal cords after this… #hcafc 🎙️

@HullCityKits @HullCity @Tiger_Base Amazing debut, oppo couldn’t get near him.

Does he get a legacy number @HullCity/@Tiger_Base/@oncloudseven1?

@Tiger_Base @LambRonny10486 @TigersEarly Yes good spot Matt, thanks. Definitely 5 February 1960.

@LambRonny10486 @TigersEarly Yeah I have a few sources (books) which say 5th Feb - @oncloudseven1 has it as 2nd May, but I think that's a mistake (2/5 instead of 5/2 Mike?).

A very happy 66th Birthday to Brian Marwood who served us well from 1988-90 part of the 1989 Title winning team

@Tiger_Base @RichCundill Waterlogged eyes after sitting through that!

@oncloudseven1 @RichCundill Sorry TigerBase was right, it was just my eyes that need fixing 🤣🤓

@Tiger_Base Matt do you know if last night was our worst first half scoreline at home?

@Tiger_Base @RichCundill

@Tiger_Base @RichCundill Matt we were 0-4 down at half time against Stoke in 1989 - according to ENFA, anyway? !

@TigersEarly Anlaby Road south stand edging into that shot.

From FB , John Groom: "An image of Deltic 55008 'The Green Howards' traversing the Anlaby Road Chord at Anlaby Road Junction. It is believed to be a charter working 1G19 between Bridlington and Selby on Sunday 13th July 1980."

Hull City’s first goalscoring superstar. He had a full suite of career highs and lows. Died too young in World War One.

Herbert Bown went on to play for Hull City, briefly, before focusing on his fishmongery business. oncloudseven.com/175-herbert-bo…

@TigersEarly Frost for the district team later played for City, the two-games-in-one-day FA Cup tie at Denaby.

121 years ago today #hcafc played their first ever game, a Friendly against a 'best of the locals' team including messrs Andrews, Traynor, Frost and Hay, who were all instrumental in setting up Hull City
