In actual fact, a tiny glimmer of hope, light and belief in what was an awful grey time, in the years following WW2. Some on here will remember these times... http://www.ambernectar.org/blog/2015/09/the-soul-of-hull-city-9-raich-carter/?
The rumours that surrounded (and still surround) Raich’s exit just added to the highly unsatisfactory way in which such a great servant to the game and Hull City had left the club. His popularity remained undiminished with the people of Hull though, and the following season when City went on a 12-match winless run saw the board partially relent and allow Raich to return – as a player. The club’s fortunes improved with Raich dictating things, and the club staved off the relegation that once looked to be a certainty. I didn't know that he left and then came back.
