Summary
Hull won their first-ever league title in 1932–33.[1] Under the stewardship of manager Haydn Green, the Tigers were crowned champions of the Third Division North. The acquisition of centre forward Bill McNaughton prior to the campaign proved to be a decisive factor in their success. Paired in attack with Russell Wainscoat, the former Gateshead striker notched 41 goals in the league.[2]
Consequently, McNaughton set a number of club records this campaign that still stand today. His 41 goals in 41 league appearances, and 42 goals across all competitions, are still yet to be beaten. Furthermore, he remains the only Hull City player to ever score a hat-trick in back-to-back games, which he achieved in October 1932 in league fixtures against Southport and Barnsley. In the latter match, he also netted four goals. Regardless of McNaughton's achievements, the season is also notable for the Tigers' victory over Stalybridge Celtic in the first round of the FA Cup. Running out 8–2 winners at Bower Fold, the result is the biggest away win in the club's history.[2][3]
