Tigers manager Grant McCann spoke about the game .. Hull club website.

"Plymouth are a good team, I think they’re in a bit of a false position, particularly with their home form.
“They’ve got one of the best home records in the league. They’ve got the best home record for first 45 minutes in the league. They’re very strong at home.
“They start games really well. We have to be ready for the challenge. They’re a good footballing team and have some really good individuals."

There will a minute's silence before kick-off today and Argyle and Hull City players will wear black armbands as a mark of respect to the passing of Prince Philip.

The Hull squad flew from Humberside to Exeter airport on Friday afternoon and drove the short distance to Plymouth and an overnight stay in a hotel.

When they won 5-2 at Home Park in Oct 1967 was when I first learnt it’s sometimes wise to put my green glasses aside & appreciate just how good the opposition is. We weren’t bad that day, but Hull, led by Chris Chilton & Ken Wagstaffe were incredible.
Does anyone else remember that performance ?

That had better not be the case this Saturday of course !

Yes, I remember that game. Hull were very good on the day. Chilton, Wagstaff and Houghton are the 3 names I remember.

I read that Hull's style of play is :- attacking down the right, and putting in crosses. It could be construed that their strengths are Argyle's weaknesses. I hope RL plans tactics to counter hull.

I remember Mick Horswill coming back to Argyle playing for Hull (79/80?) and greeted his old team mates with a scything tackle 5 seconds after kick off. It was a horrid challenge, he was booked but would have been a straight red these days. i think Hull won 4-3

Seem to recall that one as well but only for the scoreline, the crowd was heaving in those days reckon 20,000 plus, didn’t know you were there jerryatric, we could have gone together!
One thing always amazed me was that when we used to get back to Callington at about ten to six I would walk straight down to the newsagents, and the pink paper was always in with the match report, never understood how they produced it and got it out so quick!

I always marveled at that too, after the semi final at Villa Park the Birmingham Pink was available at New Street with photos and full report, how did they do that?

The crowd was 8577 & I was one of them as well. The previous home game with Hull after they got promoted was 15000 plus a few hundred. We won 3 - 1. Happy days!

That's right, he wasn't a very nice man.

Yup. My Mum worked for Tony Waiters back then and she thought Horswill was a total sleeze.
