The 2002-03 campaign was a monumental season of transition for Hull City as The Tigers said a fond farewell to Boothferry Park before moving to the state-of-the-art KC Stadium in December. The club's immediate fortunes were turbulent in the Third Division, with manager Jan Mølby sacked in October before Peter Taylor took the helm and steered the team to a 13th-place finish. The true highlight was the arrival of new forward Stuart Elliott, whose 12 league goals saw him finish as the club's top scorer in a campaign that marked the end of the Boothferry era and laid the crucial foundations for their coming surge up the football pyramid.
