February 9th:

Well I covered all this date's fixtures in the Preston match thread, but I'll repeat it now.

Charlie Luke scored a hat trick on this date in 1935 against Leeds Utd at Leeds Road as the Town won 3-1. This was Charlie's second hat trick for Town. His first was against Wolves in 1933 in a 6-4 defeat. Do you bother keeping the match ball when you've scored a hat trick in a defeat?

And most recently, Karlan Grant scored his first Town goal on this date in 2019. It was an added time consolation goal in a 1-2 defeat at home to Arsenal in the Premier League. It wasn't even given to him to start with as it appeared to be an own goal from Saed Kolasinac.

And some sad news to report. Huddersfield Town manager from March 92 to July 93, Ian Ross, who got us to the 1992 Play Offs, died on this date in 2019, aged 72.
