:04:14. > :04:35.We are nicknamed the Tigers because of our distinctive orange
:04:36. > :04:43.The stadium can hold over 25,000 people and we share
:04:44. > :04:52.Hull City started in 1904 and we have had some rocky
:04:53. > :04:57.In 1999 we nearly got relegated out the football league
:04:58. > :05:02.In the next nine years we got better and better and in 2008
:05:03. > :05:05.we got to the play-off final at Wembley.
:05:06. > :05:09.Striker Dean Windass, who was a local lad, scored a great
:05:10. > :05:16.volly to win us the game and got us into the Premier League.
:05:17. > :05:21.Dean Windass puts Hull City into the lead.

:05:34. > :05:45.But Arsenal came back in extra time to win it.
:05:46. > :06:08.That was fantastic learning all about
:06:09. > :06:11.What are your memories of this stadium?
:06:12. > :06:16.My first ever game was when we played Manchester United.
:06:17. > :06:24.He called me cheeky because I said we were better
:06:25. > :06:27.One of my first memories is probably when I
:06:28. > :06:32.We walked out with thousands of people clapping
:06:33. > :06:37.It is rather fitting we should be talking about Hull's
:06:38. > :06:41.footballing history as it relates to the challenge we will be taking
:06:42. > :06:47.Back in 1970 Hull were involved in the first ever
:06:48. > :06:49.penalty shoot out in English professional football.
:06:50. > :06:51.Their opponents that day, a certain Manchester
:06:52. > :06:53.United, who boasted among their ranks George Best, Bobby Charlton
:06:54. > :07:00.Needless to say Hull did not emerge victorious and they
:07:01. > :07:03.were amongst the first of us to experience the pain and anguish
:07:04. > :07:06.associated with penalties penalty shoot outs.
:07:07. > :07:45.One of the worst penalties you will see.
:07:46. > :08:30.The agony. I figured out three steps. The first is figuring out
:08:31. > :08:45.where you want the ball to go and not changing your mind.
:08:46. > :08:58.The second step is confidence. Relax. Lots of people rush a penalty
:08:59. > :09:08.but there is no need to rush it. 1-1. Very cool indeed.
:09:09. > :09:20.The third and final step is once you hit the ball hit it cleanly and hit
:09:21. > :09:28.it on target. Fantastic. We need to hit a target.
:09:29. > :09:32.When I was younger lot of players doneness, they put the group and one
:09:33. > :09:45.of the corn laws knowing if the ball went through it it was the perfect
:09:46. > :09:49.penalty -- they put a hoop. There you have it. The challenge is
:09:50. > :09:51.to score the perfect penalty and that should look a little something
:09:52. > :10:14.like this. Right, whilst Hall Road Rangers cry
:10:15. > :10:18.and master the perfect penalty John and I are going to take a look
:10:19. > :10:45.around Hull. Oh, Hull. I drew up each a few miles
:10:46. > :10:51.down the road and even though they have been bitter rivals to my Leeds
:10:52. > :10:53.United, I cannot help but love the city. It's fantastic. Isn't that
:10:54. > :11:17.right, John? John? Not only can you go over the water,
:11:18. > :12:20.you can go under it as well, well, sort of.
:12:21. > :12:27.It is the only city in the UK to have developed its own municipal
:12:28. > :12:36.Telephone system resulting in these unique and rather snazzy white phone
:12:37. > :12:59.boxes. Gaunt, John. Do the honours. # Drawn, John. Yes!
:13:00. > :13:11.OK, sorry to interrupt, but can I have a cool. Pick your sport and try
:13:12. > :13:12.and hit it cleanly. Things do go wrong sometimes. I will let you
:13:13. > :13:48.carry on. Sorry. Well done. Great go in goal but it's
:13:49. > :13:49.time for you to take some penalties and time for a goalkeeping
:13:50. > :14:29.masterclass. Is that in? That was awesome.
:14:30. > :14:35.Well, there you have it. If this lot are anything to go by in the future
:14:36. > :14:40.of England's penalty taking is in safe hands. Or feet. We have had a
:14:41. > :14:46.fantastic time here at Hall Road Rangers in Hull. That is all for
:14:47. > :14:50.now. See you. Goodbye!
