Happy Birthday for yesterday EY. Hope you had a great celebration. Loved the day at Maine road for the 1956 league title win. I went from Bridlington for the game where I was working as a student in a cafe. Came back proudly wearing a plate sized b/w rosette which I bought at the ground.
Am just over a year older so keep healthy as you try to catch up!!

Happy birthday for yesterday George. Hope you had an enjoyable day. Just like Freddie Miller, I was a young lad at Maine Road that day. We actually watched the first half on the TV at a house near the ground as my dad had fallen and was taken inside for treatment. We're all getting to the age where we can look back a long way and relive some of the great memories our team as given us. Take care!!

Certainly worth a look back at that super '50's decade HR when from '53 it was a procession of finals for us including Championship(3), Wembley(2) and Yorkshire Cup(4). Not forgetting winning the European Championship Club competition too!
What a period and as you say our team provided such great memories!

I’ve got a photo of the our 1956 Championship trophy being displayed in a shop window in Cottingham.
It was my brother in law’s parents’ shop. His Grandfather was Ernie Jenney who played Full Back for Hull in the mid 1920’s and also captained Yorkshire RL. He was Vice Chairman of Hull in the 1950’s. A really nice man. He was best mates with Roy Francis. Me and my Dad used to bring him to the home games in 1980’s and he was full of great stories.
He put the Cup on display in the shop for a week, no security or toughened glass required.
Not sure how to upload an image on here, but if someone is able to pm me the details, I’ll post it on here.
Happy Birthday EY great story and of course great to hear everyones memories I was a bit young to go to Maine Road but my Mum went she was season ticket holder and went on her own to home games to sit in the 'Best Seats' (In a day when few women did) I however was at the Albi game in the European Club Championship aged 8 however my main lasting memory as a kid was seeing fans approaching the ground down Aylesford street with stick on black moustaches and berets with some even having strings of onions round their neck. It was all in such good spirits but such stereotyping would no doubt upset a few these days!!!
