Hull City A.F.C. – A Brief Summary
Hull City A.F.C. Crest
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wolverhampton Wanderers Round-up
Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. Crest
The Wanderers are an old club, founded in 1877 by a pair of students attending St. Luke’s school before becoming the Wolverhampton Wanderers two years later. In 1888 the club was one of twelve that formed the English Football League.
The most dismal period in the history of the Wolverhampton Wanderers began in the early 1980’s. Serious financial difficulties almost resulted in the club’s extinction. The Wolves endured three consecutive relegation’s, sliding into the lowest tier – an embarrassing first in club history. For nineteen years The Wolves played in the lower tiers, emerging into the Premier League just one season before being relegated.
Wolverhampton Wanderers Manager
Mick McCarthy was brought on as manager of the Wolves in 2006 and has propelled the club to the Premier League.
Wolverhampton is the third club McCarthy has managed. His first was Midwall, where he managed from 1992-1996. McCarthy led the Lions to a third place finish on 1993-94, and though the club was 14 points clear of the relegation zone in 1996, he left the club for the Republic of Ireland manager vacancy.
McCarthy guided Ireland to the 2002 World Cup finals, but a clash with ManU midfielder Roy Keane created bad press. The fallout was enough that McCarthy walked in October of the same year, despite propelling Ireland from a Aworld rank of 54 to as high as 13.
After Ireland, McCarthy managed Sunderland and in three short years took the Black Cats from relegation back to the Premier League. The year in Premiership was tough, and with little money to improve his club, McCarthy was sacked with just 10 games remaining.
Now Mick McCarthy has managed the Wolves to the Premier League and has the tools to stay there, with the signing of current striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake through 2013, as well as signing of Reading star Kevin Doyle.
Stan Cullis, himself a former Wanderer, became manager in 1947. For the first time in forty years, the club earned its first major honor with an FA Cup Final victory. Wolverhampton went on to be the top club of the 1950’s, winning titles in 1953-54, 1957-58 and 1958-59.
Wolverhampton Wanderers Stadium
Molineux Stadium has been home to The Wolves since 1889, when it was rented to the club by a local merchant name Benjamin Molineux. The first league game hosted 4,000 people; fifty-years later the record for attendance was set when 61,315 people watched The Wanderers beat Liverpool 3-1.
The Wolves installed lights in the stadium in 1953, the first club to do so, and that summer Wolverhampton played games against foreign clubs called "floodlight friendlies." Hungary had been embarrassing England in recent World Cup play, so when a Hungarian club visited Molineux for a match under the lights, The Wolves made the most of it and won, prompting manager Stan Cullis to anoint his club "Champions of the World."
In the early 1990’s, Molineux Stadium underwent redevelopment. Neglect and financial difficulties of the previous decade resulted in three sides of the stadium decaying and inaccessible. Today, the grounds have a capacity of 29,000 and there is talk of expanding the stadium to seat 40,000, dependent on the club’s ability to stay in the Premier League.
A once-proud club has made a return to prominence with a new manager and promotion to the Premier League for 2009-10.
On 18 April, 2009, The Wanderers were promoted to the Premier League with a 1-0 win against Queens Park and clinched their first divisional title in twenty years the next week.
