Phase One: Plurality of Polyester |3 PHASE ONE: PLURALITY OF POLYESTER | 3 JULY - 4 SEPTEMBER Cabinet 1 1976-78 HOME SHIRT (left) 1976-78 home shirt Number 7, worn by Gordon Nisbet Stripes returned in 1975 after twelve years of solid amber shirts, but the most striking element of the new kit was the white shorts that created a throwback look, referencing Tigers kits used between World Wars. Shirt advertising was still a few years away, but sportswear firms were pushing boundaries in the 1970s: Europa of Leicestershire became the first supplier to put their logo on a City kit. First used in 1975/76, this shirt design is commonly associated with Billy Bremner signing from Leeds United. There were several versions, the first of which had Europa’s logo without a wordmark, that was added for 1976/77. For 1978/79, City replaced the monogram with a tiger head crest, at the same time dropping white shorts in favour of the black set previously used with the away kit. #TigerRags Supported by Hull UK City of Culture 2017 Cabinet 1 1992/93 HOME SHIRT (right) 1992/93 home shirt Number 5, worn by Rob Dewhurst The best designed Hull City kit ever? Not a chance, but certainly the most iconic. Third tier teams rarely get national media coverage, but the 1992/93 home shirt, with its all over tiger stripe print, ensured its everlasting notoriety. Wild designs were not unusual in the early 1990s, as kit suppliers showed off technological advances in printing, but they tended to be on away kits. Not so with City as Matchwinner took inspiration from the club’s nickname. Manager Terry Dolan remarked “the players look like tigers, now they’ve got to play like tigers”. They did on opening day, besting Stoke 1-0, but the form was not maintained and City ended the season 20th. The Nineties were a decade of sustained decline and misery for Tigers fans, and this shirt was a rare bright spot so is fondly remembered. #TigerRags Supported by Hull UK City of Culture 2017 Cabinet 1 THE ODD COUPLE... (between the shirts) A ‘pair’ of White Puma v1.06 boots worn in the Championship Play-off final at Wembley in 2008. Both left feet, the boot on the left belonged to Bryan Hughes, whereas the shoe on the right was worn by Dean Windass, who scored the game’s only goal as City beat Bristol City 1-0. It was enough to promote the Tigers to the Premier League for the first time. The Hughes boot still has ticker tape attached to the sole. #TigerRags Supported by Hull UK City of Culture 2017 Cabinet 1 1993-95 HOME SHIRT (left of bottom shelf) 1993-95 home shirt Number 15, issued for substitutes Some people think the tiger striped 1992/93 home is the worst football shirt of all time, but it’s not even the worst Hull City shirt. That dubious distinction falls upon the follow up, worn for part of 1993/94 and all of 1994/95. After falling out with Matchwinner, City tasked Pelada to design a non-copyright violating approximation of the tiger skin shirts, which were used at the start of 1993/94 with Pelada patches covering the maker’s logo. The new shirts were ready by November, and featured a much tighter tiger stripe pattern. Up close it was amber and black, but from distance the pattern merged into a rusty hue. There was more change for 1994/95: a new sponsor meant more patches. The logo of new backer Needler’s Sweets was placed on huge felt panels. #TigerRags Supported by Hull UK City of Culture 2017 Cabinet 1 2004/05 PROTOTYPE (right of bottom shelf) 2004/05 home shirt Prototype Despite bearing the branding of Italian sportswear firm Diadora, this shirt was designed and made locally by Dewhirst of Driffield, who have a factory in Hull. A prototype supplied to the club as part of the design process, this sample shirt has several differences to the final 2004/05 home shirt: • The shade of amber was darkened slightly; • The club crest would be embroidered instead of sewn on; • The club crest was amended slightly to note the club’s centenary in the scroll banner. The unusual oblique arm stripes were straightened on the final version. #TigerRags Supported by Hull UK City of Culture 2017 Cabinet 1 NUMBER PLAQUES (bottom shelf) Number plaques that were above shirt pegs in the Boothferry Park dressing room. #TigerRags Supported by Hull UK City of Culture 2017 Cabinet 2 2014/15 EUROPEAN HOME SHIRT (left) 2014/15 European home shirt Number 27, worn by Ahmed Elmohamady in the Europa League Play-off round 2nd leg game against Lokeren The bitterness of defeat in the 2014 FA Cup final had a sweet aftertaste at least, as City would appear in European competition for the first time. UEFA regulations on shirt number legibility are stricter than those of the Premier League: “Around the figures, there must be a zone free from any item and comprising a single-colour background”. Umbro’s 2014/15 home shirt had stripes front and back, so a variant set was needed for Europa League play-off round games. They had plain amber back panels, to which names and numbers were applied in a bespoke typeface The shirts were worn with amber shorts against Lokeren at the KCOM Stadium (after the Belgian side won the first leg 1-0). The Tigers won 2-1, but were eliminated on the away goals rule. #TigerRags Supported by Hull UK City of Culture 2017 Cabinet 2 2015/16 HOME SHIRT (right) 2015/16 home shirt Number 21, issued to captain Michael Dawson for the 2016 Championship Play-off final at Wembley The Tigers were adjusting to life back in the Championship in the summer of 2015, after a bitterly disappointing season that began with European competition but ended with relegation. Manager Steve Bruce sought to make amends with a Premier League return at the first attempt. Just as they did for 2009/10, Umbro followed up a striped home shirt with one with black pinstripes on amber for 2015/16. City needed new main sponsors after 12Bet activated a termination clause and theme park Flamingo Land filled the void. Fittingly the season was a roller-coaster ride: City led the league for parts of 2015/16 but ultimately finished fourth, qualifying for the Play-offs. After squeaking past Derby, City met Sheffield Wednesday at Wembley, where Mohamed Diamé’s 72nd minute goal proved decisive as the Tigers again won a Play-off final 1-0. #TigerRags Supported by Hull UK City of Culture 2017 Cabinet 2 PLAY-OFF FINAL MATCHBALL (between the shirts) Mitre matchball for the 2015/16 Championship play-off final contested by Hull City and Sheffield Wednesday at Wembley #TigerRags Supported by Hull UK City of Culture 2017 Cabinet 2 2007/08 HOME SHIRT (left of bottom shelf) 2007/08 home shirt featuring game detail applied for the 2008 Championship Play-off final at Wembley Umbro, the Cheshire based brand and long time supplier to the England national side, became Hull City’s ‘technical partner’ in 2007 and would outfit the Tigers for a period of unprecedented success. The 2007/08 Hull City home shirt used the same basic template as the primary England shirt of the time, and featured a round collar flanked by interconnected black diamonds with asymmetrical tapered stripes underneath. A repeated abstract diamonds pattern that loosely looked like tiger stripes embellished ventilation panels under the raglan sleeves. This shirt design was last used in City’s first ever Wembley appearance. Cheered on by 40,000 Tiger Nationals who made the East side of Wembley a sea of amber, City beat Bristol City 1-0 to gain promotion into the Premier League. #TigerRags Supported by Hull UK City of Culture 2017 Cabinet 2 2013/14 HOME SHIRT (right of bottom shelf) 2013/14 home shirt featuring game detail applied for the 2014 FA Cup final at Wembley City followed up their first automatic promotion to the Premier League with the best season in club history to date in 2013/14, not only retaining top flight status but also reaching the FA Cup final. For this finest of years adidas went back to striped shirts, but the new kit’s most striking feature was rather fetching hooped socks. The Tigers bettered their highest ever Premier League finish (17th in 2008/09) by one place in a campaign that saw City beat Liverpool 3-1 in the same month they thrashed Fulham 6-0. City excelled in the FA Cup too, improving on their previous best of reaching the semi-finals in 1930. This time they made it to the final, and gave eventual winners Arsenal a scare, taking a 2-0 lead over the Gunners but succumbing in extra time. #TigerRags Supported by Hull UK City of Culture 2017 Table 1 - Preserved in amber 1995-97 HOME SHIRT (left) 1995-97 home shirt Number 2, worn by Adam Lowthorpe Nostalgia was the driving force behind much of the kit design ethic of the mid 1990s: Three Lions, the Euro ’96 anthem and a requiem for past glory, captured the zeitgeist and retro inspired shirts became popular. City could be considered trendsetters, releasing a home kit in the summer of 1995 that harked back to the days of Raich Carter, though given his passing in October 1994, the inspiration was more tribute than trend awareness. The new kit, made by Super League, was superficially similar to the heavy cotton drill garb worn by City in the late 1940s.

  • Joey Beauchamp – the Player of a Generation
    Joey Beauchamp – the player of a generation My dad spoke about it evocatively, a moment of silence, a collective disbelief. In the split of a second your mind slows the world down to allow your brain to comprehend what you’ve seen, converting it into a physical reaction. It happened to him once, watching Wolves in the 1960s, a moment in a game where your perception of what’s possible and the reality of what you’ve seen leaves a silent, motionless gap. It lasts a nanosecond, but you can live in it for an eternity, even when it passes, fragments of your memory retain it. You can revisit it when you need a safe space. Physically, you move on, metaphysically, you can rest. I’ve been there twice; against Wrexham in 2009; we needed a goal deep into injury-time to sustain our unlikely promotion charge out of the Conference. The ball was worked out to Craig Nelthorpe. At the other end, Billy Turley theatrically threw himself to the turf, he couldn’t watch, but we didn’t need him anymore, it was now or it was never. Nelthorpe looped in a cross, James Constable leapt, straining every muscle. He connected, guiding the ball towards goal. It clipped the underside of the bar and dropped down behind the line. The forging of what you want and what you get. And there it was, that moment of disbelief, a glimpse of hyper-reality, that silence. And then, an eruption. But it was the first time that was most memorable and a moment that lives in the collective psyche of those who were there.

  • Trevor Cherry
    Wednesday 13 May 2020 GUERNSEY PRESS OBITUARY 23 OBITUARY Trevor Cherry by Advocate Footballer Trevor Raymond Ashton Cherry, pictured in 1981. (28247216) T IS WITH regret that I have learnt of the sad demise of my friend Trevor Cherry as a result of a massive heart attack. This makes it two former footballers who have died within a Ishort period of time. Trevor was in the same school year as myself and over the years we had become friends and only about six weeks ago my other half was with the denizens of the chairman’s suite at City in Madrid, of which Trevor was part, as a result of his friendship and business association with Mike Marshall (himself a former player). Trevor had been a regular visitor over the years to City and always had time to talk about his former colleagues at Elland Road. Indeed, I had hoped many years ago during the second coming of Malcolm Allison to persuade him to join City to give the defence more stability. Before going into detail I must say that he was a very self-effacing and modest man, unlike most footballers. There will be many tributes to Trevor but when Bradford City went into administration in the early 1980s Stafford Higginbottom, later chairman, said to me that unlike many managers he had a brain (and not just in his feet) and was very sensiblel. Prophetic words, it proved. Trevor was born in Huddersfield and was always very proud of the town (and had heard of the world-famous Choral Society) and eventually forced his way into the first team.

He had previously represented Cruzeiro, Barcelona, Benfica and the Brazilian national side in the 2000 Sydney Olympics and 2001 Copa America tournaments. Geovanni wrote himself into Hull City’s history by scoring the Tigers’ first Premier League goal; a spectacular long range strike to equalise against Fulham in a 2-1 win. He is though, better remembered for another sublime goal from distance scored against Arsenal in another 2-1 victory.

With City for just one season, he made 33 appearances, 14 as substitute, scoring 3 goals. At first, full size lettering was used on his shirts, encircling the number, but smaller letters were later used.

As a player, manager and assistant, he took part in over 2,000 games – in Britain only Sir Alex Ferguson can claim more. Horton’s career started in the World Cup summer of 1966 and ended over half a century later. His playing career began unceremoniously when Port Vale bought him from non-league Hednesford for the price of a pint of shandy. But later, as Brighton captain, he became a club legend, skippering the Seagulls from the Third to the First Division. He continued this success at Luton and Hull, before managing the Yorkshire side.

Their campaign was founded on ruthless efficiency and leaving the minimum to chance, but it was punctuated by the most extraordinary of calamities one Saturday afternoon towards the end of October. United were sitting atop the Division One table as they travelled to Turf Moor to face a promising young Burnley team. They had dropped just four points in 13 games and came into the game on the back of three successive clean sheets in the League. Their only Division One reverse had come the month before, away to reigning champions Manchester City, though during the week they had bowed out The Yorkshire Evening Post of 19 October 1968 carries the news of the 5- of the League Cup after losing 2-1 at Second 1 defeat at Turf Moor Division Crystal Palace. It was clear, though, that United had treated the defence of the trophy they had won in March less than seriously. Terry Lofthouse in the Yorkshire Evening Post: “When the final reckoning is made at the end of the season, Leeds United‟s 2-1 defeat by Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the League Cup may have been a blessing in disguise.
