Scumthump

Formed in 1957 from the remnants and survivors of the famous 1931-56 “Humber Tea-Break Strike” at the steel works, this hardy band of plumber’s mates, sparky’s and bog-welders joined the Hull Sunday League in 1963 as founder members of Division Five.

Under the management of Stan (Wooden-leg-whoops!-Mind the banisters-missus) Grimtits, their charismatic geriatric diabetic player-manager, Scumthump rocketed up the league until taking the place of Oldport County in Division Four in 1973.

Not much happened until fortune smiled on “Scummy” in 1980. Luckily, their slag-heap stadium was found to be contaminated with Barium Isotopes, which was said to account for the characteristic gummy smile afforded to all visitors to the old Crematorium Ground, which was pulled down and given to Grimsby Town as a training ground.

The new Glansknob Stadium was opened in 1985 to critical acclaim from the local population, who had never seen corrugated iron before. Remember those Subbuteo stands? Like that but smaller.

Scummy got to Wembley in 1997, took a wrong turn on the way to Fulham.

Fluked their way into the Championship in 2007, after top marksman Billy Shunt scored 42 goals, all from 3 yards, but flogged him off and sank back down to old Division 3 in 2008 just as Hull City hit the Premier!
