Tigers attack has combined age of 69

Henrik Pedersen and Dean Windass will again lead the attack for Hull against Charlton tomorrow. The Tigers are set to name an unchanged side following the 3-1 home victory over Ipswich.

Pedersen is 31, but Windass is 38, giving a combined age for the strike force of 69. Windass was born in the former fishing port and after being a YTS trainee at the club played for North Ferriby United. He has now returned to his native heath. Whilst playing in Scotland, he received the dubious distinction of earning three red cards in one game, the last for taking out his rage on the corner flag.

I saw Hull play at Turf Moor last season when Phil Parkinson was still in charge. They were rubbish that day and were lucky not to lose by more than 2-0. On view that day was Danny Mills who was then on loan with the Humberside club.

We went to Hull once on our way up to an away game at 'Boro to visit an old university friend. We knew she had recently been divorced in somewhat acrimonious circumstances. What we didn't know was that her husband claimed to be the No.1 Addicks fan on Humberside, coming from SE7 originally.
