May 10:

On this day in 1922, two weeks after winning the FA Cup, Huddersfield Town won the FA Charity Shield (now Community Shield) for the one and only time. It was a one and only time because the competition from 1923 to 1927, when Town would've been playing in this annual event between the League Champions and the FA Cup Winners, was played between Professionals and Amateurs. The FA got all snotty about the spoiling tactics used by Town and Preston in the Cup Final and refused to sanction future matches.

Anyway, this was played against the champions Liverpool at Old Trafford and Town won it 1-0. Team captain, Tom Wilson, scored the goal in front of a 10,000 crowd.

Only two league games on this date. In 1947, we beat already relegated Leeds United 1-0 at Leeds Road in the First Division. Irish football legend, Peter Doherty scored the goal.

And in 1983, three days after beating Newport County to win promotion from Division Three, we finished off the home campaign with a 1-1 draw with Wigan Athletic. Colin Russell scored the Town goal.

Here's that scoreboard again, with Colin second from the left, next to Mark Lillis.
