Well, there must be at least one person who is interested, so here goes.

Between 31st August 1963 and February 8th 1964, we lost 21 games and won just one, with a losing run of 13 games.

Oddly, the A team had a run of 13 games undefeated during the same period.

Teams for the derby on 27th March 1964 were....

Keegan, Rosenburg, Stocks, Carmichael, Doyle-Davison, Mountain, Finn, Casey, McGlone, Sykes, Neale, Broom, Johnson.

Kellett, Paul, Major, Moor, Blackmore, Burwell, Elliott, Tyson, Flanagan, Taylor, Palmer, Clark, Poole.

British Railways were running an excursion to Keighley for the next game, costing 13/6 or 68p.

Excellent posting.

The Club historian has already tried to put the media right but to no avail apparently 'don't let the truth get in the way of a good story' this is what was included in last Saturdays Dentist Diary

Now for a case of ‘You’ve heard it from the rest now hear it from the best’ and indeed ‘Don’t believe the Hype’. Lately much has been made of that ‘record breaking run’ of defeats billed as “The worst losing run in the History of the Club” in all the local and RL papers. However, bad though our run is, all that, I’m told, is a fallacy for this ISN’T the longest losing run in Hull FC’s long and eventful history. Bill Dalton, the bloke everyone should go to before they start spouting that sort of rhetoric, has this week been politely putting everyone right.

There is nothing the official Hull FC historian doesn’t know about the Club, I’ve been privy to his amazing records and he’s helped me so much over the years. This week he contacted me and said, “With regard to the comments in the Mail recently that stated, ‘a current run of 10 consecutive defeats is also the club's worst in its 153-year history’ Well it isn't. The team lost 13 consecutive games from 31 August 1963 to 23 November 1963. In addition, a combined Hull-Rovers XIII lost 10-23 to Australia during that period. On 30th November Hull managed a rare win away at Keighley, before the club then lost a further 8 consecutive matches. They really were bad times. I know because I was there at every one of those games”. And so he was, so well done Bill Dalton!!

Out of interest, what are the details of the longest unbeaten run?

Wasn't that during our Grand Final season in 2006? Think we win 13 on the bounce before losing to Harlequins away.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

So we're playing a team which has not yet qualified for SL, away, when they don't play any home games until the second half of the season?

I would have thought that might be the 1978/79 season :wink:

Was working in London for most of 1963 so only saw a couple of Hull matches. Did see Australia play 3 matches though including the combined Hull-Rovers game and the opening 2 ashes matches. First was a night match at Wembley when Great Britain were hammered in front of a crowd less than 14,000 and the series lost in the next at Swinton when Australia racked up 50 points. Certainly the best Aus. team I saw play in England.
