From its formation in 1904 to its place in the modern English game, Hull City AFC has experienced a remarkable journey filled with ambition, adversity, unforgettable victories, and hard fought recoveries. This engaging history traces the Tigers from their early Football League years through divisional triumphs, difficult periods, financial challenges, and the rise that eventually carried the club into the Premier League for the first time.

Peter Taylor helped transform the Tigers during their rise through the lower divisions, Phil Brown guided them to their first Premier League promotion, and Steve Bruce led the club to another promotion, an FA Cup Final, and European football. Later generations, including Jarrod Bowen, Keane Lewis-Potter, and other academy graduates, added new chapters to the club's evolving story.
From Boothferry Park to the MKM Stadium, from lower league struggles to Premier League football, this book captures the defining people, matches, promotions, setbacks, and turning points that have shaped Hull City AFC. It celebrates the enduring support of the Tigers faithful and the players and managers who created unforgettable memories across more than a century.
