March 13:

On this date in 1926, Huddersfield Town were well on the way to completing the hat trick of Football League titles, the first team ever to do so. The team was already on top of the First Division table and had been since mid February, when Manchester United came to Leeds Road.

This would be the 6th game in what would be an 8 game unbeaten run and it was a walloping 5-0 win for the boys in the bright blue n white. George Cook got a couple. Billy Smith got one. And there were two goals for our new signing from Cowdenbeath, William Devlin. He had already scored 40 goals in the season for the Miners in the Scottish First Division (the top league before they got a Premier League) and he played this match in place of George Brown at centre forward. He scored 4 in 4 for Town in this season. He ended up with 14 in 32 for us before transferring to Liverpool in the next season.

We had another big win in 2004, in our last ever season in the 4th tier of English Football. It was at the Alfred McAlpine Stadium against Macclesfield Town and we won it 4-0 with goals from Andy Booth, Pawel Abbott, Efe Sodje and John McAliskey.

And the most recent match on this date was a 1-0 win at QPR in 2021, with Juninho Bacuna getting the goal.
