I remember the 1970 game v Leicester very well. Despite going to a few games over the previous three years it was this one that kick started my regular support and I was hooked. I only went because my dad took the twins. Sadly he and one of them are no longer with us. What a journey. Now for the stars.
For the first time in my (long) life City may well play on or around my birthday. It'll be somewhere in Europe - birthday's in July. I could never have predicted that in a month of Sunday's. Somewhere warm will do me, and not too far East !!

Did I mention previously that my great grandad was George Rushton? He is credited for scoring the first two recorded goals in Hull City's history.
