Former Hull chairman: "second promotion better than first"
Former Hull chairman Paul Duffen has said the club's promotion to the Barclays Premier League this year as being a greater achievement than 2008.
The Tigers' returned to the top flight with a second-placed finish in the npower Championship on Saturday, after they drew 2-2 at the KC Stadium.
When Hull went up five years earlier via the Championship play-offs, it was the first time they had reached the top division in their history.
But Duffen, who took over as chairman in 2007 before resigning two years later, said their latest achievement is better.
