Been following FC for 20 years now and have seen some great games and some great occasions, obviously many people will answer the following question with grand final, premiership or CC finals but what is the most memorable game you have witnessed whilst following Hull

Suprisingly for me it is actually a loss...

When we played the all conquering Wigan side in the challenge cup at the Boulevard in 94, I remember having a healthy lead possibly 19-2 at one stage and dreaming of putting an end to the run they were on, i believe we even turned down a 2 pointer to extend the lead at one point.Of course that came back to prove crucial as Wigan got away with a 21-22 Victory.

I remember a big crowd and a terrific atmosphere at The Boulevard that day and ive Just looked up the archive of it and looking through the sides you wouldnt of thought that Hull side would get anywere near Wigan infront of 11k fans that day.

Ironically they came back to the Boulevard a month Later and we Turned them Over 18-4.

last game at Boulevard really upset me
first game at KC was memorable
Vs Oz at Boulevard
Vs Saints in fog

vs saints in the last match this season at their new stadium was like winning the WWC in atmosphere... the fans were awesome that night..
"I wanna be in that number la la la" great night out for all

so many

Lee Jackson hiding the ball up his shirt to score from a tap against Leeds at headingly is very memorable.

Jason smith kicking Marc Calderwood and Leeds to death at the boulevard is another that stands out over the last 10/15 years

Game v Leeds when team where going to walk off after the bias ref sent 2 of our players off,one the Captain asking for an explanation.
Alfie Maclin decided to belt the bugger with the ball before walking .
The crowd roared with aproval the team turned then got stuck in .
Greatest win think i've ever seen.
Eleven man Hull turn over super Leeds

Semi final replay against Cas at headingly 85. Sterlo superb as well as Crooks, mass brawl behind Hull sticks at half time by the players after they punched Sterling. Great game, great atmosphere, just pitty about the final.

Been going since 2004:
v KR at home 2008 (the one with Briscoe 80 meter try)
v Saints home and away 2010
v Leeds CC Final 2005 (obviously)
v Bradford away 2004 (4 tries from Shaun Briscoe)

My most memorable game would have to be the CC Semi-Final 2005
For me the best performance I have seen by Hull FC

Hull V New Zealand in the last ever game at the famous Boulevard. I love the KC but miss the old ground and the atmosphere.

Perhaps not the most memorable but the game the play-off game against Bradford in 2006 which booked our place in the GF was one of the games I've enjoyed in recent years.

2005 CC Final,


NZ game at Boulevard Graham Mckay's monster Dropgoal!


Lee Jackson ball up the shirt

Been going for 22 years but my memory of most games over five years ago is pretty poor. A CC semi final replay at Elland Road against Halifax where the score was 4-3 sticks out but that was probably because of the p155 up!



Wembley 85 was also fantastic had a right good up round London even though i was only 13 but remember the atmosfear adn excitement of going.

Best modern memory has to be the CC 2005. One of the best days of my life!

Best non-derby atmosphere at the KC IMO, the last 10 mins when we realised we'd made it to the Grand Final was just immense.

Others from the KC era that stand-out are:

First game V Halifax: not just because it was first, but the mental early sending off of Jason Smith.

Leeds at home 2004: surely the most exciting game to remain 0-0 at half-time. Some outstanding rugby played that game.

Saints at home 2005: Absolutely smashed them, to the extent their late consolation try was greeted with sarcastic cheers.

Saints at home 2006: In complete contrast to the above, we got smashed with an abysmal performance that would ultimately seal John Kear's fate as coach. A pivotal moment in our recent history.

Challenge Cup Semi Final 2005: The best I have seen Hull play in the 20 or so years i've been a fan. Cooke and Kearney were phenomenal.

Challenge Cup Final 2005: Don't even need to write the reasons why!

Bradford at home 2007: not for the game itself, but the pre-match speculation and gossip that Cooke was about to join Rovers. The stands were literally alive with gossip, and disbelief that he would even consider it.

Home derby 2008: smashed them with Tom Briscoe's length of the field try, despite having an otherwise awful season.

Saints at home 2010: So bad in the first half that some people went home at half-time. Second-half comeback and late winning drop-goal was probably the high point of the Agar era.

Rovers at home 2010: Fantastic game, end to end rugby, massive fight in front of the West Stand, all topped off by Tom Briscoe's superb game-winning tackle in the dying seconds.

Elland Road, 1982 for me.

The two runaround tries in three minutes from Kemble and Topliss just before half time were immense.

Our night, felt that all the ground was full of FC fans.

saints at home 2010
kr at home 2010

both crackers of our recent era, players won with so much passion, even with that turnip calling the shots

semifinal in 2005 cup,incredible performance from fc

final 2005 not a lot more to say about that game





saints at home 2010,what a come back

saints away 27-26 when cookie kicked drop goal,cant remember year.

It WAS......

82 game v Aussies,
80 semi final at Swinton against Widnes. the most away following apart from finals that I`ve ever seen.
The three semi`s against Cas in the 90`s.
Last game of season 78/79 when we had gone unbeaten, fantastic noise all the way through. The threepenny stand was so loud my mam couldn`t hear her mate talking on the hill at Ailie street it was so loud she said.
Loads of other games that make the hair on my neck stand up.
Games at Leeds always up there, Wigan also.

If we're talking memorable rather than enjoyable what about the 70odd point thumping we took at Bradford a few years back and last years playoff game against Leeds both memorable for all the wrong reasons.
I know it's a cliche but on the positive it's got to be the challenge cup win for me.
Does anyone else remember the fan wandering around with a snake in a bag. I mean that literally it's not a euphemism for something else!

That game goes down as the most gutted I have ever felt after a game!

hull v wigan march 88 we had to win to stay up wigan got penalty in last ten minutes for off sidr and joe lydon went to kick the penalty however he put it wide and gary pearce caught it ran the length of the field to pass it to i thinl paul mcaffery(?) to score winning try i was in threpeeny stand and it went absolutly mental!

cc final 05 of course and also john player final in early 80,s when we beat the dobbins at headingly!!

2006 saints away iirc

My favourites were Sheffield at home to stay up after a great FC road trip to Blackpool for the weekend
For some bizarre reason, I really had a great time in the 71-0 away against bradford, I remember the atmos being brilliant, probably as we drank the bars dry!

Seb, you might need to add at least 10 years to your "length of service"

For me the ones that really stick out,

Good Friday 1983, hammering rovers 21-3 in a title decider.

1988 Wigan in the last play of the game with a length of the field try finished off by Paul McAfffery. (just before the 2 semi final games)

1988, Good Friday, beating rovers 21-14 at the old CP with a patched up team (just after the 2 semi finals)

1991 Premiership final.

The promotion game at Huddersfield 31-18. Massive turn out!

Beating St's 27-26 in 2006 at KR

The Halifax semi's were shocking 160 mins without scoring a try. Can't recall seeing another 0-0. I remember a 3-2 against Warrington Greg Mackey.

My most memorable was the last minute maccaffrey try against a starstudded Wigan side.

Counldn't beleive fatty pearce couldn't drop a goal in that semi at headingley

Too many to mention but if I had to pick one, 82 CC final replay.

so so many, but the cup semi final replay at headingley was special, i remember the young hull lad puckering having a right ding dong with reilly,what a bust up that was at halftime,and kemble getting laid out from a high tackle by orum? then muggleton ing him next tackle,the atmosphere that night was awsume, so many more to
