Oggy's Top 5
#2
I think Oggy's off his trolley picking that Birmingham match.  Sad How anybody can choose that one is beyond me, it was one of the worst days of my life. Blush

Here's mine:-
  • 1970/71: Town 2-1 Arsenal
  • 1978/79: York City 1-3 Town
  • 1982/83: Leeds Utd 0-1 Town (League Cup)
  • 1999/00: Town 7-1 Crystal Palace
  • 2017/18: Town 1-0 Watford

The win over Arsenal was a great match. They were top of the league and we were, well, little Huddersfield. The MOTD cameras were there, a rarity in itself, and we took the lead through Les Chapman with a goal that would go on to win Goal of the Month. We even got a penalty against them, something you would never see today. Remember being pissed off afterwards though realising our win had put Leeds top of the league.  Rolleyes

The win at York came at the end of the season and was towards the back end of May as the season dragged on with rearranged games following a terribly snowy winter. It was Mick Buxton's first season and after years of falling down the leagues, the corner had finally been turned. It was a surperb performance in the spring sunshine and we left knowing that the next season was going to be a good one. And it was as we tonked in over a hundred goals and won the title.

The win at Leeds in the League Cup came after years of piss taking from Leeds fans, both at school and then during my early pisshead years. Blush Went on the pisshead's bus as well to this one, the Millbridge bus, though this time we just went to the game. Leeds were "champions of Europe" Laugh and we were just on our way back, we would win promotion back to division 2 at the end of the season, but they were well past their best days. Old turncoat Frank Worthington, the hero of my early Town days was in the Bellend XI. But it was Buxton's boys who came out tops with a beautiful headed goal from David Cowling. After the game, we had to play the usual game of trying to avoid being hit by bricks as the police penned us in for half an hour of easy target practice for the dirty scum bastards outside. Happy days!

Talking of dirty Leeds, the best thing to come out of that shit hole was Clyde Wijnhard and he scored a hat trick in that win over Palace. I was still annoyed with the club for sacking Jacko, much as I am now for the Cowley sackings. But this performance turned my emotions around, much like winning at Brentford tomorrow will and make Carlos the best thing to come out of Bellend land. Whistle

The win against Watford was the one when Tom Ince scored in injury time. This was a vital three points in our survival bid, given the upcoming games were Everton, Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal. It was another great performance where we definitely deserved all three points and to get them right at the death, followed by the Town wave to the fans at the end made me think that we could actually do this. And of course, we did. And we shall again. Come on Town.
