    according to the hdm

    http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/hull-city-s-five-biggest-cup-upsets/story-30045792-detail/story.html

    omitting the far bigger 3-0 win against burnley in 1921

    omitting the far bigger win against newcastle in 1930

    omitting the far bigger 2-0 win against man utd in 1952

    the fifth listed by the hdm, against blackburn, is nonsense. it was largely as a result of city's win that blackburn sacked their manager and appointed kenny dalglish, thereby beginning their rise that was to lead to their premier league title in 1995. a victory against a team that only managed one win in the first seven league and cup games of that season was hardly a great upset.

    how about overturning a 2 - 0 defeat in 1st leg against ManU?

    Only done once before and that was by Steve Bruce's current team.
