May 20:

No games played by Huddersfield Town on this date. It took me ages to find anything of significance, but eventually I found one.

Today is the birthday of Graham Carey, the attacking left sided wing back/midfielder who we had on loan from Celtic in 2010/11. He was born in 1989 in Blanchardstown on the outskirts of Dublin and is 33 today.

He signed for us at the start of that 2010/11 season and made his debut in the League Cup at Carlisle, a game we won 1-0 with a young boy called Jordan Rhodes scoring.

Carey scored on his league debut for Town, down at Peterborough. Rhodes got another and then Carey made in 2-0 before half time, before it all fell apart and we ended up losing 4-2. Bloody Peterborough!

He got another one against the Pish, in the Johnson's Paint Trophy, as we built up another lead. Carey scored first and then Anthony Pilkington scored twice as we raced into a 3-0 lead. They came back at us again, but only scored twice.

Anyway, what I remember about him is being stood behind the goal at Hillsborough on a cold November evening as Town got a free kick on the edge of the area. It was midway through the first half and still goal less. Carey stood over the ball and I thought to me sen, why is he taking this when there's better players for the job.

He walloped it over the wall and it sailed into the back of the net. We were right behind it in the lower section of Leppings Lane and went barmy. 

Pilks made it 2-0 before half time and later on, Benik Afobe made his Town debut, coming on as a sub for Joe Garner and it finished 2-0 to the Town.

So those were his three goals in 23 games for us before going back to Celtic in January. He then went to St Mirren, Ross County and Plymouth Argyle and is now playing in Bulgaria for CSKA Sofia, where he's been since 2019.

I can't think of many club connections we have with Celtic, so the question today is, how many can you name? I'll start you off with Lou Macari.
