Hull City 3 Preston North End 0, 10/11/2007. KC Stadium, Championship. On one hand, a team from a much derided city with a sparkling stadium seemingly on the up. The other, historically rich perennial play-off contenders suffering a dreadful start. Hull finished 3rd and were promoted to the Premier League after beating Watford in the play semi final, and Bristol City in the final. Preston finished 15th. Photos by Paul Thompson.
