Rumour has it Cliff Britton,when asked by Harold Needler, said he didn't need any money to shore up City's sometimes leaky defence. May have tipped the balance? Who knows.
 
The Ex Tigers game v Emmerdale and Hollyoaks cast has obviously had to be cancelled on Sunday due to the latest lockdown, it has now been rescheduled for the 13th December at North Cave playing fields still 1pm KO.

Hull City are proud to launch ‘The 222 Collection’ in support of club legend Chris Chilton.

Chris is the Tigers’ record goal-scorer having hit the net on 222 occasions during his 477 appearances for his hometown club, becoming a hero to those that watched him from the Boothferry Park terraces and holding legendary status in the Club’s history books.

Sadly, Chris isn’t in the best of health at the moment and ‘The 222 Collection’ has been launched to help raise funds so that our hero can receive the care that he needs.


60 years on from his Hull City debut, ‘The 222 Collection’ features a range of limited edition merchandise that will be available to pre-order next week, online from www.tigerleisure.com and will be available in store soon from Tiger Leisure at the Prospect Shopping Centre.

All profits will be donated to the Chris Chilton Appeal, which was set up by Francesca, the daughter of Chris’s strike-partner and great friend, Ken Wagstaff.

The appeal has already raised thousands of pounds which will go towards supporting Chris’s care needs, providing a huge boost for his family, and if you would like to make a direct donation you can do so by visiting the GoFundMe page by clicking here.

What season do you reckon that was? I remember my older brother took me to first two games in quick succession vs Cardiff and then QPR. I'm sure these were in Terry Neill's first season, so 1970 (I'd have been 8). Is this QPR clip the same game?

Its the Brentford FA Cup game 1970/71 ? They were a league below us and were beating us 1-0 up to about the 80 mins ( from memory all this and I do get the 65/66 season mixed up with the 70/71, so it could even have been 65/66) It would have been a major shock if they had of pulled it off but Chilton equalised late on and I think Ken Houghton scored the winner soon after.
It was Brentford's cup final and the furthest they had even been in the FA Cup and they brought a lot of fans.
If you ever get the chance look up the Leicester league game from season the 70/71, City won 3-0, 'Terrys Tigers Topple Table Toppers' and have a look at Chillo's headed goal, past Peter Shilton, from just inside the Leicester penalty area, South Stand end.
