Being a child in a football dressing room and on the team coach to away games, there are lots of little incidents James Lodge remembers which are trivial but recalls with fondess.

One of the regular highlights for a number of years at Boothferry Park was the visit of the Australian Rugby League Team to play a combined team of players from Hull and HKR, writes James Lodge.

People who want to get their money back are not unusual and disgruntled fans who think that their team wasn't worth the gate fee are even more common. But, in the late 50's one fan took things a little too far, writes James Lodge.

James Lodge reveals a story from Boothferry Park history.

Look back in amber and black (mostly) at the history of the Hull City playing kit.

For Athos, Porthos and Aramis read: Wagstaff, Butler and Houghton. They were recruited by Cliff Britton, an act somewhat inconsistent with his earlier managerial traits that revealed him to be more in tune with the thinking of Cardinal Richlieu, than King Louis.

When Raich Carter joined Hull City in March 1948, he did so in preference to joining Leeds United or Notts County; both had offered him a similar position to that which he took up at Boothferry Park: assistant player/manager.

Whilst things may happen in life, time and time again, it is the first time that tends to claim the greatest significance. It is no different for football in general. It is no different for Hull City in particular: the first time they got promoted.

The season offered few clues that it would turn out to be the club's pinnacle in terms of FA Cup achievement. Neither did it offer any signals that whilst Cup glory was sitting on the horizon, League disappointment would be the only tangible achievement when season 1929/30 came to a close.

It wasn't all that long ago that 'Five Year' plans were all the rage at Boothferry Park. Like many of today's fashions however, it was nothing new, just a rework of an earlier theme. And like many of those reworks, it was a poor imitation of the original.

In the summer of 1997 ownership of the club again changed hands.

Things were to get worse rather than better, for three seasons later, in 1980/81, they were to be relegated again, this time to Division Four for the first time in their history.

Although not having the same immediate impact as Raich Carter, Cliff Britton steadily built a team that was capable of resurrecting the Tigers' flagging fortunes.

When the League was abandoned in September 1939, they faced an uncertain future since the financial troubles that had plagued them in the previous decade returned with a vengeance.

Football League Competition returned in August 1919 and City continued their mid table existence in the Second Division.

Hull City was formed as a professional football club in June 1904 after previous attempts to establish a football club in a city dominated by Rugby League had floundered.
