Sgt. Pepper told the band to play.
Since Rob Edwards sent us to Cardiff.
One of the greatest nights at the new stadium.

My favourite HTAFC memory! Meant so much after the turmoil the club had been through. Place went absolutely mental and I think it's still the loudest I've heard at a home game. Remember my dad stacking it too in the carnage 😂

That was a team that was greater than the sum of it's parts. It shows how team spirit and teamwork can take you further. It was as good as it gets for many players. Lloyds, Fowler, Holdsworth didn't do alot else.

Right night that. For some reason we were in the lower tier behind the goal and I was convinced it was going to collapse. Great night, great memories.
The whole experience of Cardiff for the final was far better than Wembley aswell, imo.

A team in the fourth tier that had a significant portion of youngsters make careers in the third is no mean feat either. Plus that smattering of experience we had. Steve Yates is one of the most underrated figures we’ve had at the club. Absolutely crucial to us. |

Looking at that team makes you realise what a good job Jackson and Yorath did. Particularly when we sold Stead half way through the season.

When the title was 20 years ago I was expecting something from the 90s, god I feel old that I remember this well and consider it recent history still!

I'd rest fairly easy if that's all i could achieve as a footballer. |

Liked for the L***s bit but didn't exactly pull up any trees after us. He certainly wasn't as good in real life as he was on FM Edit: And he (along with pretty much all that squad) is among my favourite players. |

Erm, Holdsworth scored winner v Leeds Utd for us in L1. I'd rest fairly easy if that's all i could achieve as a footballer. Erm, what did he do when he left Huddersfield Town? Got injured really badly within about 5 minutes of signing for Oldham. Such is football. I maintain he - and a lot of others - never quite reached their potential although not through their own fault. Injury cost a lot of that team its shot at the upper divisions. Were he playing today, Holdsworth would be playing Championship football within a few months of his breakthrough - he's exactly the kind of player so loved at this level now, athletic, a good footballer, and a good professional. Nathan Clarke never played in the Championship because of injury. Worthington ditto - the injury that cost him started in that season, a debilitating groin issue and ongoing hernia that just never got solved. We didn't appeal his three-match ban from that ridiculous red card at Accrington precisely because he played with the injury and we wanted to give him time to have surgery and recover. Remember, he was 20/21 in that season - he went on to have a very solid League One career but was retired by 31/32 because of it. David Mirfin did play Championship football despite being arguably the weakest footballer of those I've mentioned - because injury didn't hamper his development quite as much, and because Stan Ternent was an idiot in letting him go. When you look at it, that team was too good for Division Three. Most of the team played most, if not all, their respective careers in the divisions above. Rachubka, Sodje, Yates, Carss, Edwards - all non-youth products who spent all their prior or future careers a level above the fourth tier. Throw in the youth products discussed above, and it was far and away too good for that division. We lucked out in a sense as good recruitment combined with a crop of talented players who had joined a Division One club and were of far too high a calibre as a collective for the Third Division. Then chuck in Andy Booth - an asset whatever level he played at in spite of his technical limitations (and knees). Because when you look at it even further, even those who didn't shine overly for us that season still went on to have solid careers: Paul Scott, Dwayne Mattis. OK, and handful didn't - Anthony Lloyd, for instance - but that's true of any promotion team. We were promoted in 2017 with Tareiq Holmes-Dennis and Harry Bunn as squad players, to name two. The former was desperately unlucky with injuries, but the latter has plummetted down the divisions. |

My favourite part is the 2 minutes of injury time. There was a pen, doubtless lots of subs and some time-wasting. Would be 7 minimum twenty years on.
