ALMOST a goal for the Tigers as Bill Bradbury tees the ball up before pushing it goalward. The ball landed on the line, but referee F. Cowen ruled 'no goal'

SHOT of Hull City's second goal against Plymouth, which was diverted into the net by Robertson ( circled ), who looks none too happy about it. But Bill Bradbury and Colin Smith seem highly delighted, and as for Argyle keeper Barnsley - he just stands on his hands!

ON HIS KNEES goes Plymouth keeper Barnsley to save from Coates. One of the many thrilling incidents in the Plymouth goalmouth.

NOT QUITE a goal for Hull City in their opening Second Division match with Plymouth, as Barnsley, Argyle's keeper, leaps to cut out a centre from Doug Clarke.

KEEPER TO FORE - Goalkeeper Barnsley, of Plymouth Argyle, breaks up an attack by Hull City's Smith, as Williams backs up.

IT'S THERE! No mistake this time as the ball flies into the net off the head of Argyle pivot Fincham, who was trying to cut out a Metcalfe centre. Keeper Barnsley obviously cannot believe his eyes!

TIGERS' WINGER GOES CLOSE - Metcalfe, who scored City's first goal, tests Barnsley with a rasping drive.

LET-OFF FOR CITY - Plymouth leader George Baker throws away a great chance of giving his side the lead at Boothferry Park. With only Tigers' keeper Billy Bly to beat, Baker hammers the ball wide and City fans breathe again!

SOLID FEASEY - Kevin Lewis, the Blades' right-winger, is checked by Paul Feasey, the City centre-half, who stood up well to the task of blocking the way down the middle to the lively United forwards.

ANXIOUS MOMENT FOR CITY - Sheffield United right-winger Kevin Lewis shoots just wide in his attempt to open the Blades' account at Boothferry Park last night, and the Tigers' Paul Feasey and Brian Garvey look on as keeper Bernard Fisher goes full-length. Lewis was on target later in the game, however, scoring United's second goal in their 2-0 victory.

2nd GOAL and there is an almost swan-like grace about LEARY (10) as he slams the ball in from 7 yards with FISHER trying to cover.

FISHER TO RESCUE - Bernard Fisher, Hull City keeper, takes the ball off the toe of Charlton's persistent centre-forward, Summers.

IN A CLOUD OF DUST, Summers beats BULLESS, but the shot was wide.

FOUR MEN, ONE BALL - and only Hull City keeper Fisher knows where it is - safe in his hands. Charlton's Summers and Leary, and City's Davidson, make up this eight-leg tangle.

…AND AFTER - After collecting the lob as it rebounded from the bar and hitting it in for Charlton's first goal, Summers comes back to join Feasey and other Charlton forwards, but the dazed Fisher does not know yet that Athletic are a goal up.

FISHER collects a LEARY shot near the post

BEFORE … Charlton Athletic centre-forward John Summers has lobbed the ball over the head of Hull City Bernard Fisher, watched anxiously by Tigers' skipper Paul Feasey, as he flinches in anticipation of collision with Summers.

JOCK DAVIDSON falls to the ground in a goalmouth tussle during last Saturday's match at Ashton Gate. Atyeo, Bristol City's centre-forward, is between Hull City's centre-half, Paul Feasey, and goalkeeper, Bernard Fisher. Bobby Williams, Bristol inside-left, is running in, but Fisher has fisted away.

ALL EYES ON FISHER - Hull City defenders Brian Garvey and Brian Bulless keep their eyes on keeper Bernard Fisher as he goes up for the ball. Like a good keeper should, Fisher keeps his eye on the ball and another of Bristol City's spasmodic attacks in Saturday's game at Ashton Gate is repelled.

NARROW ESCAPE FOR BORO' - Hull City centre-forward Colin Smith beats Boro' right-back Ray Bilcliff to the ball in one of the many exciting duels in last night's game at Boothferry Park. From left to right, keeper Peter Taylor, City's Bill Bradbury and Boro's centre-half Brian Phillips watch anxiously, but the ball sails inches off target.
