History

Hull City Association Football Club was founded in June 1904. For some years prior to this, attempts were made to found a football club, but in a city dominated initially by rugby league with teams such as Hull FC and Hull KR, who were both respectable teams, this proved difficult.

Hull City's first season as a professional football club consisted only of friendly matches, as due to the time of founding, Hull were unable to apply for membership to The Football League for the 1904–05 season. The Football League, also known as the Coca-Cola Football League for sponsorship reasons is a league competition featuring professional football clubs [3] These early matches were played at The Boulevard, the old home of rugby league side Hull FC.

Stockton FC was a football club based in Stockton-on-Tees, England. After disputes with landlords at The Boulevard, Hull City moved to Anlaby Road Cricket Ground. [2] After having played 44 friendly fixtures the previous season, Hull City were finally entered into the Football League Second Division for the 1905–06 season. From 1892 until 1992 the Football League Second Division was the second highest division overall in English football.

In the 1948–49 season, managed by former England international Raich Carter, Hull won the Third Division (North),[8] and their newly built Boothferry Park ground saw a crowd approaching 50,000 for the Christmas Day game against Rotherham United, and exceeded by that for the FA Cup 6th round tie with Manchester United; the attendance of 55,019 still remains a record today.

'Yo-yoing' between the second and third tiers of English football, Hull City had promotion seasons from the Third to the Second Division again in 1959 and 1966, winning the Third Division in the latter season. [10][11] Hull became the first team in the world to go out of a cup competition on penalties, which came against Manchester United in the semi-final of the Watney Mann Invitation Cup on 1 August 1970.

The low ebb saw the arrival of unlikely looking saviours in the form of a chairman (Don Robinson) and manager (Colin Appleton) from the footballing outpost of Scarborough F.C. Promotion to Division Three followed in 1983, with a young team featuring the likes of future England international Brian Marwood, future England manager Steve McClaren, fearsome centre-forward Billy Whitehurst, and the prolific goal-scorer Les Mutrie.

Terence Peter "Terry" Dolan (born June 11 1950 in Bradford, England) is an English former footballer and Hull finished 14th in the Third Division in the 1991–92 season,[13] meaning that they would be competing in the new Football League Division Two the following season. In their first season in the rebranded division, Hull narrowly avoided another relegation, but the board kept faith in Dolan and over the next two seasons they achieved secure mid table finishes. Financial difficulties hampered City's progress, as key players such as Dean Windass and Andy Payton had to be sold to fend off winding-up orders. Dean Windass (born 1 April 1969 in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire) is an English footballer who plays as a Striker Andrew Payton (born October 23, 1967 in Padiham, Lancashire) is an English former professional footballer who played as a [14] Terrible form in the 1995–96 season condemned Hull to relegation to Division Three.

In 1997 the club was purchased by former tennis player David Lloyd, who sacked Dolan as manager and replaced him with Mark Hateley after Hull could only finish in 17th place in the table.

Little breathed new life into Hull and managed to get good results out of the players, despite briefly being locked out of Boothferry Park by the bailiffs and with liquidation looking a real possibility. [14] Hull qualified for the Division Three playoffs in the 2000–01 season, losing in the semi-finals. A boardroom takeover by former Leeds United commercial director Adam Pearson had eased the club's precarious financial situation and all fears of closure were banished.

The new chairman ploughed funds into the club, allowing Little to rebuild the team. Hull occupied the Division Three promotion and playoff places for much of the 2001–02 season, but Little was sacked two months before the end of the season and Hull slipped to 11th under his successor Jan Mølby.

Hull began the 2002–03 season with a terrible start, which saw relegation look more likely than promotion, and Mølby was sacked in October as Hull languished fifth from bottom in the league. Peter Taylor was named as Hull's new manager and in December 2002, just two months his appointment, Hull relocated to the impressive new 25,400-seater Kingston Communications Stadium after 56 years at Boothferry Park.

The two seasons which followed the opening of the new stadium were hugely successful. Hull were Division Three runners-up in 2003–04 and League One runners-up in 2004–05. These back-to-back promotions took them into the Championship, the second tier of English football. [19][20] The 2005–06 season, the club's first back in the second tier, saw Hull finish in 18th place, a comfortable 10 points clear of relegation and their highest league finish for 16 years.

Throughout the majority of the history of the club, Hull have worn black and amber shirts with black shorts. These black and amber colours are where Hull's nickname, The Tigers, originated from.

During the mid 1970s and early 1980s, the strip was constantly changing between the two versions of plain shirts and stripes. During the late 1980s, red was added to the kits but its duration went no further than this. [36] The early 1990s featured two 'tiger skin' designs, which have since featured in a number of 'worst ever football kit' articles. The 1998-99 season introduced a kit with cross-fading amber and white stripes; another experimentation which proved unpopular. [37] After the turn of the century, the club wore plain amber shirts until 2004, when the club celebrated its centenary by wearing a kit similar to the design of the one worn 100 years ago. [38]

[40] Hull built their own ground, Anlaby Road, which was opened in 1906. [41] With the threat of the rerouting of the railway line through the Anlaby Road ground, the club was convinced it needed to secure its future by owning its own ground. [9] They negotiated the deal for land between Boothferry Road and North Road in 1929, which was financed by a £3,000 loan from The FA. [42]

During World War II, Anlaby Road was damaged by the Blitz, with repairs costing in the region of £1,000. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including The Cricket Club had served notice to quit at the same time and in 1943, the tenancy was officially ended. [41] Hull were forced to return to the Boulevard Ground from 1944 until 1945 due to the destruction of Anlaby Road by the German bombing, and the poor condition of the planned stadium at Boothferry Road. [40]

Hull decided to continue with the development of the stadium at Boothferry Road and plans were commissioned. The work did not commence until 1932 because of financial problems, after only the terracing was started and the pitch was laid out. Due to a proposal to build a multi-purpose sports stadium on the site, the plans were temporarily thrown into doubt. However, as a reasonable price was not offered for the site, Hull decided to continue with the plans and development restarted in 1939. The ground was opened under the name of Boothferry Park on 31 August 1946.
