In addition to the domestic league, the club would also participate in the FA Cup. Summary The summer of 1907 was a busy one for Hull. A number of players came and went, with the departures of Peter Howe, Andrew Raisbeck, and George Rushton marking the last members of the Tigers' first-ever competitive line-up to leave the club.https://www.oncloudseven.com/players/ Hull City’s All-Time Players oncloudseven.com 20 August 2026 In terms of arrivals, Ambrose Langley recruited several figures to strengthen Hull's bid for promotion. The most important of these were Joe Shaw and Arthur Temple, who were brought in to replace the outgoing Howe and Rushton. In doing so, they completed a youthful attacking unit, partnered alongside captain Gordon Wright and the relentless duo of Jacky and Joe Smith.https://www.oncloudseven.com/41-joe-shaw/ 41 Joe Shaw oncloudseven.com 20 August 2026https://www.oncloudseven.com/42-arthur-temple/ 42 Arthur Temple oncloudseven.com 20 August 2026 That said, Langley's side failed to achieve their desired outcome, finishing 8th in the Second Division.https://www.rsssf.org/engpaul/FLA/1907-08.html England 1907-08 rsssf.org 20 August 2026 However, the one consolation was that Jacky Smith had ended the season as the league's top scorer, notching 31 goals.https://www.oncloudseven.com/18-jacky-smith/ 18 Jacky Smith oncloudseven.com 20 August 2026 In the FA Cup, the Tigers fared better. Although only going as far as the second round, which was at least a new club record at the time, they had done so by thrashing First Division side Woolwich Arsenal 4–1 at Anlaby Road.https://www.seniortigers.org.uk/stc_memorabilia/memorabilia/programme_browser/matchinformation2020.php?season=1907-08&date=16/01/1908 Hull City v Woolwich Arsenal seniortigers.org.uk 20 August 2026 Competitions Second Division 1907–08 Football League League table Second Division y HUL FA Cup 1907–08 FA Cup Matches #CCFFCC Win 1px solid #AAAAAA #FFFFCC Draw 1px solid #AAAAAA #FFCCCC Loss 1px solid #AAAAAA #DateHomeResultAwayVenueAtt.ScorersHSO Hull scorers only1R11.01.08Woolwich Arsenal0–0Hull CityA15,0001R16.01.08Hull City4–1Woolwich ArsenalH16,000Shaw (2), Temple, Ja.
