February 26:

On this day in 2019, Jan Siewert achieved his only win of his time as Huddersfield Town manager. It was a 1-0 win against Woverhampton (can we play you every week) Wanderers, with a goal poked home by a grounded Steve Mounié. Now we all love a last minute winner, so have a look at this, or just skip to the end bit if you'd prefer.

Now then. Fifty years ago. Yes 50 years ago in 1972, was the last time Huddersfield Town reached the last 8 of the FA Cup. That's half a century. We got there by beating Burnley, then Fulham and on this date, West Ham United in a very famous match at Leeds Road. There were a whole host of famous names in the Hammers' team, but our brave lads defied the odds (we were bottom of Div 1 on the way to relegation) to beat the star studded opponents 4-2 with goals from Jimmy Lawson, Terry Dolan, Dave Smith and Frank Worthington.

When the draw was made on the traditional Monday lunchtime, we drew Birmingham City away. They were a 2nd Division team. Surely we'll have a good chance of making the semis. Well that game's coming up on the 18th of March. In the meantime, have another video.

We have another birthday. Born on this day in 2003, he's 19 today, it's Levi Colwill. And hopefully he'll get a game at St Andrews today and score another one to add to his late, late winner at Sheffield United earlier in the season.

Can you believe he's only 19? Plays with a lot of maturity, he does. A lad with a big future in the game. Probably not with us though.
