I seen oti giving a friendly light hearted lecture about how the Today’s games thread should not be a ‘reminisce’ one and thought it might be worth a thread of it’s own ! (Though I’m fairly new to DATM - April - and the said subject may well have been discussed in times gone past)
Plenty is good about Huddersfield Town and also the Town Huddersfield !
Supporting them and visiting for a start..
From a footy perspective the Micky Buxton promotion in ma first year as a Town fan - what a start ! The 83’ promotion amongst others... the drama of The Sheffield Utd shoot out - pure theatre that was indeed and the dream I thought I’d never see.. Town in the top league (even though I never had the balls to watch it live ! ) but to me one of the best would be the promotion at The millennium stadium in 04’ given where Huddy Town were the previous summer.. truly miraculous it was - oh and cheers Mansfield for making it the easiest ever penalty shoot out win for Town !
Of course all relegations are bad, but I’m gonna select a match I attended with my late buddy Stevie Ellis who we say a final farewell to on Tuesday..
We travelled down to watch Town play Bolton Wanderers and having spurned chance after chance, Town conceded an injury time corner.. says Stevie - I’ll bet ma pub, they’ll score from this and hey bloody ho - Joe Mason volleys one into the bottom corner with the last kick of the game - bloody painful was that defeat !
The ugly... well any maiming of Town players is, but I’ll just simplify it... The Bellend Toad brigade - aka Leeds Utd - and not just the current tribute act - but the first club Leeds City - and what they attempted to do to Huddersfield Town... their club, most of their fans, their history... well it’s simple - The ugly !
I’m sure HTAFC fans will have plenty good (mostly) but a few bad and an odd ugly thing to reminisce about and this is a chance to have your say on the subjects !

Good - Schindlers penalty transcends anything. But Liam Lawrences penalty at the Millennium Stadium was pretty close! Bad - Last 20mins of the defeat to Peterborough at Old Trafford  Ugly - The pies and anger raining down near a Bradford City player who subsequently bottled taking throw-ins (James McClean doesn't know the meaning of vitriol!). 😂 |
