This excerpt is particularly encouraging .... " ... I ran and got a buzz from an empty stadium". Maybe that's what swayed it for us?
Maybe he knows we normally play in an empty stadium...
I was there, as Max Boyce used to say. 1958 we beat Oldham 9 - 0, as you say Shiner scored 2 and that was indeed the headline in the "Sport's Mail "Memories of queueing outside the newsagent's between 6:00-6:15 waiting for the delivery van to drop a bundle of 'em off on a Saturday night. Happy days.
Never forget a front page headline in the late 50's :
"This Roy's a real Shiner !"
We'd just signed him from Sheffield Wednesday a couple of days or so earlier and he scored 2 goals in
his debut match @ B.P.
Getting off the train after the match and waiting outside Hammonds for it to come fresh off the press to see if you had missed anything.Memories of queueing outside the newsagent's between 6:00-6:15 waiting for the delivery van to drop a bundle of 'em off on a Saturday night. Happy days.

Bill Bradbury hattrick that day. And Colin Smith too I think.
And waiting for the bloke on his bike flogging the Sports Mail down Hotham Road.
Sorry to spoil your thunder gtiger, but Shiner didn't join City until the '59-'60 season. The 9-0 stuffing of Oldham at B.P. was in the '57-'58 season. Bill Bradbury was top scorer (25) that season, so likely bagged a few that day ! Doug Clarke on the right wing.

Must be my old memory Playing tricks. I do recall Shiner's double I think was a night match. I thought it was against Oldham in that drubbing.
My Daughter in law was out for lunch with the lads cousin yesterday and the exact same thing was mentioned...Apparently the kid is an absolute fitness freak!!!
I've heard it from a couple of places now, let's home the hull city injury curse doesn't get him
we don’t have an injury curse - we have a flawed strategy of buying players with a bad history of injuries
We do yes, but we also have absolutely ****e luck when it cames to injuries as well, look at Scott this season, never injured then comes here and trips over a ****ing come holder the youth team player had just put on the floor so he could pick something else up!
Roy Shiner played one season 1959/60 as you say. Oldham game was April or thereabout,1958 because the start of the next season I started to go and watch them.
Roy Shiner sat next to me on a bus from town and he got off outside Stan Lemans on Anlaby Rd and went in for a hair cut.
