May 2:

On this date in 2015, we played away at Blackpool. I post the following picture without comment. Do feel free to add some of your own. 

Back in 2009, at the age of 35, club legend Andy Booth announced that he would be hanging up his boots at the end of the season. Over two spells at the club, he had bagged 145 goals with four games to go in the season. He scored against Carlisle at home. He scored twice away at Walsall and he scored at home to Brighton. So on this date, Town traveled down to that there London to play Leyton Orient with him on 149. Would Boothy score his 150th goal for Huddersfield Town?

Of course he did!

And so at the blowing of the final whistle on his football playing career, he stood in third place in the all time goal scorers chart with 150, behind George Brown and Jimmy Glazzard and fourth in the appearances chart with 457, behind Billy Smith, Tom Wilson and Vic Metcalfe.

Here he is poking home number one hundred and fifty at Brisbane Road.

In 1925, Town needed one point from the final game of the season to win the league title for the second season in a row. There was only one team who could catch us and that was West Brom. They needed to win at home to Bolton, whereas we just needed a draw at home to Liverpool.

We all know that Town won the league three times in a row, so it doesn't stretch the imagination much to guess that things went our way on this day. Indeed it did, with the Baggies only drawing and Town also drawing, it was Town who retained the League title by two points.

The game itself at Leeds Road was a 1-1 draw with defender Harry Cawthorne getting his only goal of the season.
