The last time Hull beat Arsenal
Hull have only beaten Arsenal three times and only once before in the league, in the old Second Division in 1915 when the teams last met outside cup competitions.
That was 11 years after Hull were founded and in that year Herbert Asquith was Prime Minister, beer cost 3d per pint and the Women's Institute was founded.
Arsenal had just moved from south London to north and dropped the Woolwich element of their name.
Sheffield United beat Chelsea 3-0 in the 'Khaki Cup Final', so called because so many soldiers went to the game, the last before competitive football was suspended due to the First World War.
