Hull City A.F.C. Overview

With a new chairman, and an influx of funds into the franchise, Hull was able to slightly rebound at the start of the ‘01-’02 season. This did not last too long, as the club finished in 15th place, at the end of the ‘02-’03 season. The following years did see some much needed success for Hull City. They came in runners-up for Division 3, at the end of the ‘03-04 season. Hull would also place second for League One in ‘04-’05. Hull managed to avoid further relegation for the next few years, as they played steadily and carefully. By the ‘06-’07 season, Hull City’s rise from the bottom divisions of English football to the top tier was legendary.

Hull City made their much anticipated debut back in 1904, holding Notts County to an impressive 2-2 draw. They made an entry into the Second Division the following year, and competed against the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea. Hull would finish that season in 5th place, a dismal placing considered by some, but to loyal fans, this was much improvement for the friendly game riddled Hull City. The club continued to struggle for many years to come, but did have some impressive outings and accolades.

As the 2009-2010 season is underway, Captain Ian Ashbee leads a team comprised of international stars and experienced players. Hull looks to Jozy Altidore, on loan from Villareal, to handle the strike zone while Michael Turner provides impenetrable defense. After impressive showings in the last year’s Barclay’s Asia Trophy tourney, they hope to carry that same momentum into the current season of play.

Located in Kingston upon Hull, East Reading of Yorkshire, and founded in 1904, Hull City currently plays in the prestigious FA Premier League. This is the second time in their history that Hull City is part of top tier English football. Also known as “The Tigers”, Hull City’s shining moment was back in 1930, when they reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup. The team mascot is “Roary the Tiger”, and they play at their home ground of KC Stadium.

The ’80’s and ’90’s would not see much difference for ‘The Tigers’. They continued to struggle through relegation, management and ownership changes, as well as more financial despair. Hull would have to sell notable players like Dean Windass and Andy Payton in order to keep their club alive. By the late ’90’s, Hull’s future was in jeopardy, and advancement out of the 3rd division did not look promising.

By the early part of the 1980’s, Hull was relegated to 4th Division football. The team went through managerial changes and financial setbacks, which only added to probably the lowest point for Hull. With nothing to lose, Hull set out to revamp their dwindling squad and club ranking. A recruitment drive saw Don Robinson and Colin Appleton come in to help the squad from the top. Along with top players, Brian Marwood, Steve McLaren, Billy Whitehurts, and power scorer, Les Mutrie, Hull entered the 3rd division in 1983.

Hull City A.F.C. Stadium

KC, short for Kingston Communications Stadium, was conceived in the late ’90’s and opened its doors in 2002. This multipurpose facility was completed at the cost of GB 44 million, and is named after the stadium’s sponsors. Along with Hull A.F.C, the venue also accommodates rugby league football club, Hull FC. Also known as ‘The Circle’, the stadium can comfortably seat 25,404 spectators, and has played host to musical acts Elton John and The Who. The stadium’s pitch consists of grass interwoven with astro-turf, and was utilized for several England Under 21 association football games. If England wins the bid to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the city of Hull will submit KC Stadium as the main venue.

Hull City A.F.C. Manager

Led by current manager Phillip “Phil” Brown, Hull City rebounded with impressive showings and secured a spot in the top level. Phil, the former manager of Derby County and The Bolton Wanderers, used his extensive experience to bring out the best in Hull City, and took the team to the upper tier of English football in May of 2008. Under Brown, Hull City defeated Bristol City at Wembley Stadium in the Championship play-off final. The result was historic, as the Tigers would enter the main fray of English football for the first time in the club’s 104-year history.~This was attributed to the ‘never surrender’ policy of Brown. Phil played Right and Full-back for most of his football career and was simply sensational. He was known to be quick, agile, and a true team player and sportsman. He led many teams to decisive victories, including Bolton and Blackpool. Brown brings that same tenacity to Hull City, and was awarded the ‘Premier League Manager of the Month’, in September of last season.

Today, Hull City remain a legitimate football club. With a legion of loyal and dedicated fans, Hull is very much respected for fighting tooth and nail to better themselves over the years. They have fought long and hard to make it back to the top, and this is the exact type of tenacity that has made Hull a fan favorite in the Premier League. Hull believes that without struggle, there is no progress, and their drive to be the best is much appreciated, respected, and emulated by other clubs.

One of the most famous players to have emerged from Stoke City was Stan Matthews. Stan grew up in Stoke-on-Trent and started playing football for The Potters in the 1930s. After 8 years he had established a reputation as one of the greatest players on earth. Nicknamed ‘wizard of the dribble’, Stan played for the England national team. Stanley Matthews was knighted in 1965 and was the first football player to be knighted. He also won the first ever European footballer of the year award.

Stoke City Manager

The current manager of Stoke City FC is Tony Pulis. Tony Pulis has a reputation for achieving solid results on small budgets and has never had a team relegated as manager. Tony has managed Stoke twice. He has previously managed Bournemough, Gillingham, Bristol City and then Pompey. Stoke City is the fifth club he has managed. Initially Tony made sure the club was not relocated from Division One in the 2003/04 season and then he departed the club in 2005 but returned in the Summer of 2006. At the end of the 2007/08 season, Tony Pulis achieved what no other Stoke City manager has achieved by guiding the club into the English Premier League. As Stoke city manager, Tony has secured a number of high profile players including Danish goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen, striker Mamady Sidibe and the Jamaican International Ricardo Fuller.

The 60s were dubbed the Tony Waddington Years for the club where they fought not to be relegated and attempted to climb to the top. Tony Waddington was appointed manager of Stoke in 1960 and remained manager for 17 years. Stoke won its first important trophy in 1972 in the League Cup beating Chelsea football club at Wembley Stadium 2:1. After this historic win the club fell into the lower divisions and remained there for a number of years. However, the club did win the Football League Trophy twice, in 1992 and in 2000. In 2008 the club finally made it back into the English Premier League and at the end of the 2008/09 Season finished 12th, securing their stay in the Premiership for another year.

Over the years Stoke City fans have had a bad reputation for football hooliganism. However, in the recent years the fans have become more friendly and welcoming.

The Britania Stadium is a 28,000 all seater stadium. The Britania Building Society sponsored the overall funding of the new stadium hence the name. Tours of the stadium are available all year round where you can visit the pitchside and dugouts, dressing rooms, executive boxes and the Stanley Matthew Lounge and other parts of the stadium.

Stoke City was one of the original 12 football clubs which made the up the English Premier League at its conception in 1888.

The club resides in Stoke-on-Trent which was the hub of the pottery industry, including famous pottery firms like Wedgewood and Royal Doulton. Because of its location in The Potteries, the football club has affectionately been called the Potters.
