That's really great! I'd like you to be able to keep your cuttings, but maybe we can scan or photograph any decent images? I'll PM you at the weekend. Many thanks!

Sad news now confirmed on the Beeb. I'm also watching responses on the RIP thread to see if I can find a photo.

Thank you Over18! I contacted the McKechnie family a couple of months ago explaining that I aim to publish a series of pen and ink drawings celebrating daft and quirky aspects of Hull history. I went on to say that I was working on a drawing of Ian in front of the south stand at Boothferry Park...

Hi Pudsey! Mrs McKechnie asked me to look for a photo because Ian never had one! Is it possible to get a good quality copy taken of your clipping so that the McKechnie family have a keepsake? They would be so pleased!

Your secret is safe with me! :)

I'm pink therefore I'm Spam!

For anyone who doesn't know the story................... two lads saw Keckers sucking an orange on the way home from training (in the days when players lived in Hull and went about on foot). They chucked a couple of oranges into his goal mouth at the next game. Their pals asked "What's that all...

Yep! They've probably binned a wealth of local history. A bit short-sighted methinks...............

I was speaking with Mrs McKechnie a few weeks ago and Ian does not have any photos of the daft orange chucking fad back in 1966. The story still makes him chuckle and it would be great if I could get hold of a photo for him. I've tried the HDM but they have rationalised their archive and any HDM...

I (as I'm sure many others felt) was that Hitchcocks contribution was far, far too tense. However, both Burnsie and Swanny text'd me saying that Fanny Craddock's half-time pie and gravy followed by creme brulee were bloody worldy! Am undecided about about Beckams contribution. Methinks he was...

My partner lives in Hull but originally comes from Bergen in Norway. We've seen the Norwegian flag in the north end of the East Stand and believe this is the flag of the "Arctic Tigers". She'd like to meet with them and maybe join them. I wonder if anyone has contact details - perhaps someone...

Whilst I'm grateful to Dr Allam, I think he is on the verge of losing the plot a wee bit. He disses HCC in the face of the fact that they built the KC and leased it at a peppercorn rent to help promote City and Hull FC. To say on the radio this morning that HCC have done nothing to help the...

Such an eloquent argument. Not persuaded tho. Keep banging the rocks together!

Football clubs have a poor record at throwing parties for people. Hull City Council on the other hand, have a well-deserved and international reputation for organising celebrations. I think the people of Hull are missing out on the potential for a great city-wide summer party because of this...
