We beat Luton at home 3-1 the following week and then lost 4-0 to Arsenal.
Four games later was the 6-0 Derby County defeat

Rollercoaster was in full working order at that time, who knew it'd go faster and faster.

That Derby game is still the only away game I've ever left before the final whistle.
 
One of my all time favourite games. I can remember almost every kick of the game.

I think we beat Brentford 4-1 in the League Cup either between the derby and Luton or just after the Luton game.

Brentford 2nd leg was after the Luton game.
We lost to Brentford in the 1st leg a few days before the derby.
Me and my mate had gone to Amsterdam for 5 days so missed the first leg and got back into Hull from the ferry the day before the derby. Was wrecked still on the day of the game and Morley's goal almost saw me off coming so soon after the first goal. I hadn't quite got my breath back from cheering the first goal when the 2nd went in and it was pandemonium all around me on the Kippax.
 
Always remember my brother tooting a car on Kings Road after the game. When they looked over we gave them the five finger wave. Silly clowns nearly drove their car off the road!
 
I had a season ticket in H (left) at the top of the main stand with my dad. There was a little bar just though the tunnel, might have been the Roy Paul bar. Half time in that game was the only time i ever remember it absolutely rocking with songs at half time. Even the Main Stand moaners and coffin dodgers were euphoric. We had fallen so far behind them in the 1980s that the result meant more in some ways than a title win does these days. Imagine a starving man being suddenly and unexpectedly handed a mitchelin starred dinner.
