**** off ............

Johnny Giles, Eddie Gray, Peter Lorimor & Mick Jones stand out for me in that team. You could see it building from 68 into something way above other teams and that's why for me 73 will always stay as 'our day'..

 

aye, that too!

 

I have it on reliable authority that Hull is the name of an open sewer mate.
Strange that Hull City doesn't actually exist

 

Hunter broke Kerr's legs, I was at that game, they were a dirty team but in a way played great football too. The game was a lot harder back then, hence why lads like Ian Ure made it..

 

The 73 final was like Gateshead playing Man City, there was no chance we could win and I remember everyone going down 'for the day out'.

Beating them was one of the greatest upsets in history.

Leeds were a team of internationals at the top of their game and usually devastating.

 

I would stick Clarke in as well mate.
Can't actually think of a weak spot in that team then.

 

i'm a bit pissed and lost, can somebody please direct me to a thread i know, where i feel safe

 

It's true.

The river Hull is the result of various sewers and drainage channels that empty into the Humber.

The city is actually called Kingston and the club have almost always been called the Tigers .......... you can't logically call the club Hull City as there's no such thing

 

Yes, Allan Clarke, two footed, brilliant football brain. Hate to say it but stick Bremner & Reaney in as well & as you say, no weakness but we......................................................................................FOUND THE ****ER.. Only one Ian Porterfield........

Ha'way the ****innnnnnnnnnnnnn Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaads..

 

Oh the dislike was there Sid.
**** me they could hand it out, but by the same token they took it as well.
And in between they played some magnificent football closest thing to "total football" I had seen before the 70s Dutch team.
Watching them dismantle teams was a thing of beauty the way they could keep the ball and break and score at will.

There you go mate .......... harmless comedy with 2 decent characters and some pretty obvious scripts.

The Nicholas Lyndhurst character was ****ing dreadful and there wasn't one woman worth shagging in the entire series

Looks really dated now and less of a classic as each year goes by.

 

Hahaha I didn't see it live, I got buried under a pile of lads all trying to see as the ball came in.
I knew by the roar as I was picked up and by grown men around me with tears in their eyes that we had done the impossible and scored against them.
By the time Stokoe ran on the pitch we were all standing there unable to speak never mind shout.
I was hoarse for weeks after.
Mind I put some money into those cockney tills over the next few days and got quite a few bought drinks.
I only came back home when my money was running out.

 

There are lads still living in the underground tube stations who never made it back ........... they live on feral pigeons and condensation they lick from the trains windscreens!

I've seen the crazy ****ers when I've been coming back, blind drunk, from our London matches.

 

I was a plasterer at the time and one of the locals said he could get me into Elstree Studios.
No not for my matinee idol good looks but as a set builder.
I never seriously thought about it at that time as my only interests then were drinking, fighting, ****ing and SAFC.
And SAFC was already my main focus.

 

I was hoping I'd grow and mature

 

Good read lads

 

You lads smug & MR made a great ending to my night, cheers lads for re-igniting memories & for a great read..

The best to both..
