Match Day Thread Hull City v Norwich

The things you learn! I think the one we knew is not the one that was mentioned on here. I could have been in that play.

 

Hull City 1-3 Norwich City

 

He cost us about £60000. He wasn't popular with the people round me because of his long hair. I think he started at Arsenal but never made it there.

My wife's family lived in Possil Park in the 1920s. I am guessing it was rough.

 

Pay a fiver, maybe a tenner and you can have one legally. Look on Hull City's website for details.
As for Jimmy McGill. I think from memory we signed him from Huddersfield. He had been at Arsenal. So a Terry Neill signing. £60k at the time which was quite considerable. 'Toothless Jimmy McGill', long hair, mid field player, fierce tackler, believe he replaced Chris Simpkin as our ball winner in midfield. I liked him, unfortunately he played for City in the mid 70's when we were on the slide, crowd wise and on the pitch, eventually captained the team. Sadly died a couple of years ago and his passing went un- recognised by City at the time, no minutes applause or anything. His name appears on the wall around Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, as do several players who have played for City and Arsenal, even Ian McKechnie.

Remember City tonking them 5-0 one Tuesday night at Boothferry Park. Also going to Carrow Road one Saturday, 1970, on coach, getting there at half time due to 'an incident' on route when the carrot crunchers police force held our bus back and searched all our turn ups for crumbs ( I kid you not) because some sausage sandwiches had been nicked from a cafe on the way. City won 2-0 that day, which was the same day Chris Chilton nutted Duncan Forbes and was sent off.
I've heard say it wasn't the stolen sausage sandwiches that were the problem but the contents of a wedding buffet in the same building that was demolished and only noticed when our bus pulled out of the car park. We actually had to all chip in to pay for the 'stolen' food before the local plod would let us go.

 

My wife wondered what was wrong with me a few years ago when we driving through Sleaford and I started chuckling. I was recalling the trouser turnups search. Though me, Whiff and Mike F were wearing staprest so decamped to the pub for a quick guzzle. Then we were stopped again for a search. Which was a relief for us who had been in the pub. Then, after all that the police escorted us to the ground and dropped us right behind their Kop End.

What the owner wanted for a few sandwiches suggested it was from a cordon bleu place not a cafe.

 

Bookies have Norwich at pretty much evens. Us more 3/1.

 

Went to Jimmy's funeral, know his family well. Indeed a shame his passing wasn't recognised by the club at the time. Then The Allams got a lot wrong.

 

Which Hull City will turn up then? Attacking because they’re motivated by the amazing atmosphere? (hopefully this!)

Or respecting Norwich too much and more like the second half against Preston?

I can see it being one or the other, and not somewhere in the middle!

I’m going for attacking, game finishing 2-2 or 3-3!

 

I liked Jimmy. He was popular with Huddersfield fans. One of those who gave everything.

 

There was a poster on CI called Jimmy McGill’s Sideburns. I used that ‘formula’ for my forum name, as did DBT. No idea who he was or if he’s still around?

 

I might be wrong but didn't Jimmy McGill have one of them.porn star moustaches as well ? I vaguely remember him having shoulder length dark hair which was synonymous with the 70s ( unless ya were like me who tried to grow it long and I ended up looking like Phil Lynott cos it grew out not down !)

 

Are you sure you don't mean dennis booth.
Not to be confused with dennis booths tache, who i believe is someone else

 

Nah I remember Dennis booth with great fondness, one of the all time legends both off and on the pitch for me. But the tash could be my old age kicking in !!!

 

Dennis booths name should be sung to the going up going up tune. Yes well loved by the tiger nation. Would still be well recieved should he walk into a city fans bar

 

Just checked on Google and no tash !!! Definitely old age kicking in !!!

 

Was Jimmy McGill in the side that went to Norwich and walloped them 3-0 in the 3rd round FACup, about 71 ?
Seem to recall they were top and we were bottom three. Jimmy did a job on their golden boy Graham Paddon. He's probably still got the stud marks.

 

I hope you aren’t suggesting DBT never existed! It was very real! Certainly late on in his career.
Jimmy McGill had the sideburns (maybe porn tash too?).
Oh and Billy Askew once had (curly, ginger) hair.

 

Red hot this afternoon, fitness and good possession of the ball is going to be very important . Let’s hope we create more and keep our unbeaten run going.
