I see a lot of these 60s programmes are going with "formed in 1921" rather than 1898 or 1899.

Doug Clarke - a future Torquay United favourite - on the wing for Hull City. Little did he know....
Another example of gender stereotyping from the Yorkshire Electricity Board. Mind, it kept the county's cartoonists in employment.
Strictly men with experience at Blackburn's in Brough. A female fitter? Pah! They'll be building a bridge over the Humber before we'll see the likes of them.
Cliff Britton, a Bristolian, was one of the leading footballers of the 1930s and had a fair stint as manager of Hull through most of the 1960s.

Yuk! What a shockingly awful colour...
What ever came over them when they decided to print it on yellow paper?

I rather like the yellow, amber (or whatever) paper because, well, I took a fancy to it when I first saw it all those years ago.
Good to see that the win against Port Vale was "a tonic to everyone interested in the Tigers". Judging by my older relatives, "tonic" was a favoured descriptive expression amongst people of theirs and Cliff Britton's generation. The word always sounded medicinal to a small child but, of course, it could have been metaphoric or alcoholic.
