Onec of my greatest Hull memories was us beating Saints at the Boleveard they were a star side, hard to remember the year, I'd guess at early 90's as Tim Street was playing, only around 2700 there.

Other two are weather based

Widnes at Home Des Hadler nearly died
Leeds away Tony Smith scored twice.


God that Hull v Widnes game was also etched on my memory, I think it was recorded at -6 the teams didn’t want to come out, I think they had to put Hasler in a microwave :D

Playing in a curtain raiser for West Dock Ave juniors against Chilly Bomb Bomb (Chiltern Street Juniors) in Schools Cup, 62 I think. Winning then taking the bucket round the crowd and being told to Eff Off in the Threepennies. Got to stand next to my Dad in there though. Safer than the blanket collections at half time, I remember a bloke used to wear a mortocycle helmet and the Threepennies jeering him.

I have become , comfortably numb.

Another was when we played Leeds, John Gallagher was their star All Black fullback . We were losing and in the last few moments sent up a hail Mary bomb which was Gallagher's all day long until Gary Nolan took the ball from him in mid air to score and we won. Memory fails me, but that may have been the year we made the Premiership final. Great days. indeed.

I went to see Hull and Rovers at The Boulevard, with my dad, aged 6/7. It was not my first game , that was around 1974, but the one that I really remember. We were losing a tight game , with literally seconds left to play and Super Alf Macklin dived over, in the corner , taking the flag out as he was tackled after scoring to win us the game and the crowd erupted. It may have been 1976/77 and possibly in the cup. I was hooked and we went home and away since then, witnessing as many downs as ups along the way. The other was when Graham Bray scored in the semi final of the cup against Widnes, 1980 at Swinton I think, to get us to Wembley in the historic all Hull final. Loved that feeling, as you see from my moniker!


Graham Bray scored our first try in that semi from a Graham Walters pass.

Great memories Rider I got a great interview from a member of the FC backroom staff back then for my book what a half time that was! For those who weren't around then its worth repeating what happened.


"...... Widnes went in 6-0 up! but despite having played the first half with the snow, sleet and rain at their backs, the Hull Dressing Room at the interval was in turmoil.

The Club Doctor at the time, (I think it was Mike Dunham) was summoned by the tannoy to the Home Dressing Room and soon declared that 5 Hull players were suffering from the early stages of hyperthermia. He immediately approached the Referee and requested the game be called off for medical reasons, but when this suggestion was put to the Widnes officials they felt that they were on top and would win and so turned it down.

The half time interval was extended and as the announcers records ran out and we were treated to a second airing of a scratchy rendition of ‘Uptown Girl’, out on the terraces we all wondered just what was happening. Apparently Mike Dixon and Des Hasler were so cold that, in an effort to get their circulation going, Pete Standidge, one of the assistants that day, had to run to the Club House kitchen and get all the baking foil he could find to wrap the pair up. Finally after a break of around twenty five minutes the teams ran out into the sleet and the rain. Both sides changed their shirts, but Hull FC were for reasons unknown, still wearing the dirty wet shorts that they had worn in the first half".

Watching us win the floodlight trophy against Rovers. The first time I'd seen us lift silverware. Fantastic night.
