    "For Leeds Jack Charlton scored twice, Mick Jones and Norman Hunter also got one each and Rod Belfitt scored twice after coming on as a substitute, times unknown. For Hull City, Chris Chilton and Ken Wagstaff both scored hat-tricks and goalkeeper Ian McKechnie got the other when he was playing in the outfield in place of Ian Butler. Other substitutes were Paddy Greenwood, who replaced Billy Wilkinson, Roger Devries, who replaced Terry Neill at Centre-Half, and Steve Holbrook, who came on for Malcolm Lord. Maurice Fussey (Retford, Nottinghamshire) was the referee."

    I'm nearly sure he did, hammered in from the left wing...
    My Uncle Jim (his brother) would know for sure and I wouldn't be surprised if he has a program or something kicking about lol.

    It was also the first time the fans moved from behind the South Stand goal 'Kop' area into the East Stand in an attempt to improve the atmosphere and noise at Boothferry Park. It was an outstanding success because the low roof of the East Stand added considerably to the acoustics and the noise that night was deafening.
    It was an orchestrated move too by the fans with song sheets handed out and printed by City fans, favourite song being 'Knock Kneed Chicken.......'

    Here's that program Malcolm, in the link below...also in the forum's Tigers History thread: (Page 27, post # 525). It was posted on the history thread on the occasion of Chris Chilton's birthday in 2012.

    Happy birthday Chris Chilton. So much pleasure given to so many by such a loyal, gifted & humble footballer. The memories of that brilliant' 60s team will never fade. He was such an integral part and in many ways a leader by example - hard working, fearless, unselfish and incredibly talented...it seems so few of the modern day footballers possess anything that comes close to that spectrum of attributes. He had them all in abundance.

    A copy of the program from "Chillo's" testimonial match against Leeds United, played in May 1971.

    It's a testament to Chris that probably the best team in Europe at the time ( ok, I know, but we didn't hate Leeds in those days) saw fit to recognize and honour our true legend.
    Even the legendary referee, Mr. Fussey, (who for years gave supporters all over England a great laugh every time he did his sprint after blowing his whistle), showed his appreciation of the man.

    Once again...Happy Birthday Chris Chilton, and many more thereafter

    I wasn't sure exactly which testimonial match it was, but I did remember being at the match and Ian being on the wing.
