About Hull City

Nicknamed The Tigers, Hull City were founded in 1904. They derived their Tigers nickname due to their striped black and amber kit. Currently playing in the Championship after winning promotion from League One at the end of the 2020–21 season, The Tigers have won no major silverware in their long and storied history. The closest they have come to major honours were as losing finalists in the 2014 FA Cup. Their highest league finish was 16th in the top flight.

The club is currently managed by Grant McCann of Northern Ireland, who joined the club from Doncaster Rovers in 2019. Other managers who have enjoyed stints at the helm of the club include Steve Bruce and Phil Brown, Peter Taylor, Terry Dolan, Cliff Britton, Bob Brocklebank and Billy McCracken.

Over the years many legends have been created at their stadiums Boothferry Park and MKM Stadium. Star names include the likes of Andy Davidson and Garreth Roberts, who together have played more than 1,000 times for the club. Chris Chilton is the club’s leading scorer while Jarrod Bowen secured them a record transfer fee when he was signed by West Ham. Other recent stars include Boaz Myhill, Michael Turner and Robert Koren.

Who owns Hull City?

The club is owned by British businessman Assem Allam. Born in Egypt, Allam moved to Hull and studied at Hull University. He has been a major benefactor to sport in the area, also supporting Rugby League and squash.
