The 2014-15 campaign delivered ultimate heartbreak for Hull City as The Tigers, under manager Steve Bruce, finished a crushing 18th in the Premier League, which resulted in a devastating relegation to the Championship. Despite starting the year with a historic UEFA Europa League campaign, the team could not find the consistent form needed for survival. Leading the charge in the Premier League was Croatian striker Nikica Jelavić, whose 8 crucial goals proved insufficient in a tough season marked by a frantic late fight and the arrival of new signing Dame N'Doye. It was a season of soaring ambition that ended in disappointment and remains a painful but defining chapter for The Tigers faithful.
