One of 3 home games in 8 days. 13 goals scored. Total attendances just under 90,000 in Div 2. Don't forget it is, and always has been, a rugby town.
Four consecutive home games that season:
5-0 v Norwich (Sept20) Att: 24,871
6-1 v Cobblers (Sept 23) Att: 29,122
2-0 v Pompey ( Sept 28) Att: 35,929
3-1 v Wolves (Oct 15) Att: 32,522

Waggy scored 4 away @ Cardiff (Oct 8) in the middle of that run and we lost 5-4 @ Ipswich on 22 Oct.
We bounced fron 5th to 1st to 2nd over that month.

Hell of a ride.

Remember that one as I went to it with a plaster cast on me leg after a motorbike accident broke my Tib & Fib a few weeks earlier. Ended up sat in the home section to the left as our Small away end was rammed.

I remember leaving the ground as the announcer said " Ladies and gentlemen, Hull City are now top of Division 2". After the Cobblers game? Meanwhile, a picture of the Pompey game in front of a home crowd that none of the younger ones or those who started going after the 1960s will ever see unfortunately.

Like that team my only concern is a lack of height in midfield, think when they see us they won't be able to stop laughing but then we will maul um

That photo was probably taken by Jack Davies, the HDM City photographer. My sister's best friend at the time was Jack's daughter - lived on Beverley Rd in Hessle. Had a few chats with him in the early 60's.

Think we’ll win a few this season but how many is anyone’s guess?
