Malcolm Lord & Ken Wagstaff scored, don't think Alf Wood was at the club then. Stu Pearson had signed for Man U earlier that season, but the reds didn't want to risk him getting clogged
Or, as I said above, as many of us said at the time, chickened out. Unlike present day fans who spend half their time following ex players back then if you went you ceased to exist, you were an ex player. Pearson always used to speak to a few of us home and away as in those days there was often only a single bus of us at away games, sometimes only an 18 seater and players used to acknowledge us. But once he was gone, end of.
I thought it was Mally Lord but when I checked online it says Alf Wood, so I trusted that. Bloody Internet. Not a word of truth on it.
No it doesn't. That's what they may have meant. It may even be inferred but it doesn't say "their lowest ever finish in the PL was 8th." I mean we can go on about this all day, I mean, I'm paid rather well to be sat here not working and joshing with you, so I don't mind really. I don't usually like clogging up threads with pointless back and forth but seeing this one is about Man United I'll make an exception if you like
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, anyone actually remember him? Lived in Hull from 1962, he was a ball boy at City, went to Beverley Grammar late 60's, all seems a bit vague, no photos.
548 Alf Wood Biography please log in to view this image Bustling forward Alf Wood joined Hull City in November 1974 with over 100 league goals under his belt and, at 29 years of age, his prime years immediately before him. The £75,000 fee City paid for his services was a club record that stood for several years. Newly appointed City manager John Kaye slotted Wood straight into the first team, who promptly scored on his debut at Portsmouth then made his Boothferry Park bow in the grandest style possible for Hull City in the 1970s – a home match against Manchester United. The Tigers won 2-0 with Ken Wagstaff and Malcolm Lord on the scoresheet and Wood’s time had got off to a bona fide flying start. From: 548 Alf Wood – On Cloud Seven Well I was wrong about Alf Wood playing, but I was on Bunkers, right behind Mally Lords shot that went in off the post.
Thinking of appointing Ole again as they can’t afford other managers as Ten Hag is due £17 million. They will have to invent a new word to describe something worse than a clusterfuck.
The bookies don't think it's going to be Ole, they've got him at 40/1, these are the current top ten... Ruud Van Nistelrooy 5/2 Xavi Hernandez 9/4 Julian Nagelsmann 6/1 Gareth Southgate 7/2 Ruben Amorim11/2 Thomas Frank 8/1 Graham Potter 12/1 Zinedine Zidane 16/1 Kieran McKenna 18/1 Edin Terzic 20/1
The gossip was he being watched by Man U. I'm not sure if it was that particular game, but I left the ground after a match and thought that was the best I had seen him play. No surprise when he went.
Yes, I gathered that as I read further posts. Must have been a much earlier game that the gossip was Man U scouts were around.
