March 20:

Terry Curran is 67 today. Born in Kinsley in 1955, he only had a short time with us, but is a legend at Sheffield Wednesday. His one season with us was the 85/86 season, signed by Mick Buxton, scored 8 goals from 35 games. One of those goals was in a 3-1 home win against the Bell Enders at Leeds Road.

He must have enjoyed his time at Town as he still comments on the club on Facebook, but like I said before, he is best remembered for his time at Hillsborough. Don't know how they feel about him going on to play for the Blunts later. If only we had a t'Owels fan who could enlighten us on this.

On this date in 2012, we had our first trip to Chesterfield's new ground. And a nice little stadium it was too. We were well on target for the League One Play Offs and with a chance of automatic promotion and this 2-0 win helped us along the way. Goals from Lee Novak and Jordan Rhodes in this one.

We also have wins in successful seasons in the glorious twenties to report on. In 1920, just a couple of days after winning away at Hull City, our brave lads travelled to Edgeley Park to play Stockport County in Division Two. This was game 4 of our 14 match unbeaten run and it was 2-1 to Town in this one. Sammy Taylor scored both goals, making it seven goals for him in the week.

And then there was a 2-1 win at Anfield against Liverpool in 1926. The season would end with us winning the title for the third time in a row and this win was the fifth in a series of six wins in a row. William Devlin, the newly signed Cowdenbeath striker, who I mentioned last week when he scored in the 5-0 win at home to Man Utd, scored one of the goals. Clem Stephenson got the other.
