Name the players in this 1964/5 squad

The only match I can recall at Hull over that period was an FA Cup tie in January 1970. I went by car rather than on the train.
Neil Young carried on where he left off at the end of the 68/69 season (the Cup Final), by scoring the only goal of the game. It was the third round tie at Hull. I went on the Trans Pennine service that day, rather than the "Special".

4 of us went by car & we were in the end that Nellie scored. Boothferry Park was quite a nice little ground in those days. Now sadly gone.
 
There was the PINK and the GREEN in those days. Hope I am right The pink was the Evening Chron and the green was the Evening news.
Correct. Pink disappeared first.

The 8015 game is gonna knock York Away off its perch. Won't be long when the gate for the Swindon game is 80,150!
Actually you have to have been one of the 400 in the Lesser Free Trade Hall for the City Ginger Group's meeting.

More significant than the Sex Pistols concert.
 
On seeing this I was sad to find out that Dave Bacuzzi died of Covid last April.
After a management career here in Ireland he opened a travel agency on the south side of Dublin.
Me and a mate booked our Italia ‘90 World Cup trip with him and have great memories of the three weeks with him and wife Eithne and kids and the whole group that ended up like family. Great memories.
He was still managing a local team even then.

Last time I was at Hull was a business conference. I got a room in the station hotel looking over the concourse. The year after, the conference was in Salisbury, we had almost the whole hotel and I got the bridal suite (bride not supplied...).

I attended every home game at Flower Lodge ,during his tenure as Player Manager at Cork Hibernians. He was very popular but moved on too soon. Some great memories of those "glory days".
 
Worked with Bobby Kennedy for many years - really good man

Used to pull his leg how we had to sell Dennis Law to buy him.

Lunchtimes were like my own sportsmans dinner listening to Bobby stories of playing for City, receiving free fish at the docks when with Grimsby as a win bonus. He settled in Bradford after managing them too.

Always reminded him of Buzzers sportsman's dinner story about City touring USA when politican Bobby Kennedy was assassinated - someone went to Chairman Alexander room to pass on the news of the assissnation - he wanted to know why Bobby was out so late when there was a game next day.

If Bobby daughter Lorraine or grandson Mike are reading this - hello hope all are well.
 
Interesting to see that Mike Doyle hadn't quite graduated through to the senior squad at that point. I just sort of thought that he'd been around forever. Made his first appearance with the seniors though, I see, in March of that season, against Cardiff. And to my amazement, he played a few games as a forward for a bit!
Any of you old fogeys on here remember seeing him make his debut?

Edit: just checked, it was an away game — and an evening match — so not very likely that many of you would have made the trek down to Cardiff, although you never know…Hats off if you did.
