We’ve met Hull City 26 times down the years, the first of which came in the 1981/82 when we gained our first ever promotion as a Football League side, we did the double of them that campaign winning 0:2 at Boothery Park and 2:1 in the return fixture at Springfield Park.
The Latics and the Tigers have met three times in the FA Cup, twice in the 3rd round, January 2011 a 2:3 away victory at the KC Stadium and 4-1 victory at the DW Stadium the previous season.
We also met in the 5th round back in February 1987, 3rd tier Latics’ reward for knocking top flight Norwich out in round four was a home tie against 2nd Division Hull City.
Latics won the game 3:0 with goals from Chris Thompson, Paul Jewell and Bobby Campbell, but it was a tougher match than the score-line suggested, Hull midfielder Billy Askew had a fantastic game for the visitors and was very dangerous on the ball, with Latics leading 1:0 early in the 2nd half there was an almighty cheer form the home supporters when Askew was surprisingly substituted.
Hull’s threat disappeared with Askew going off and two more goals gave us the win and set up a ¼ final against Leeds United.
We’ve had some high scoring encounters with Hull City down the years, the 0:5 away win in the Premier League at The KC in August 2008 is a standout, goals from Kevin Kilbane, Antonia Valencia, Emile Heskey and an Amr Zaki brace gave us an emphatic victory.
We can’t play Hull City without recalling our record win, the old tele printer on Grandstand (ask your dads) must have been going bonkers, Wigan Athletic 8 (Eight) Hull City 0. What a game, what football we played that night, it wasn’t that Hull were bad, we were simply delicious and the final goal of the game from Kieran Dowell was one of the best ever scored at the DW. Enough chat, just watch it.
Highlights
Latics 8:0 Hull City
The reverse fixture earlier this season was also a high scoring affair, this time though on a chilly February day it was the Hull players who were banging the goals in as they triumphed 0:5.
