A LIFELONG Hull City supporter has shown his true colours by decorating his Nafferton home with all things Tigers.
Cedric Calvert, of High Street, put up the display of club colours and draped a huge flag outside his house as the club's push for promotion to the Premier League continues.

And he said the display had attracted a lot of support from other fans.
He added that he had been forced to take the large St George's cross down in the evenings as passing drivers sounded their horns in support.
Cedric, who has watched Hull for the past 47 years, went to his first City game at the age of five. He also drives fellow supporters in a minibus he bought specially to go to matches.

And he was at Portman Road on Sunday to see the team's hopes of automatic promotion ended as they went down 1-0 to Ipswich Town.

He has already booked his tickets for the two-legged play-off semi-final tie against Watford, which begins this weekend.

He said: "It's not a bad draw for us. They have not been in great form."
And he believes Hull will make it through to the final and play at Wembley Stadium for the very first time.

He said: "I am feeling confident.

"I think we will probably meet Crystal Palace in the final."
But, whether they gain promotion or not, Cedric said they had enjoyed a great season.

"After last year, we were just hoping to finish the season mid-table."
