June 6:

Sadly today marks the last international played for England as a Huddersfield Town player by Ray Wilson before he transferred to Everton. It was also the last time any Huddersfield Town player represented the club in a full England international

It was the 30th of the 63 caps he gained in his career and as was now 29 years old, it would seem that the best of his career was behind him. Not so. As we all know, in a couple of years from this match, he would win a World Cup winners medal with England at Wembley.

This match against Argentina, played on this date in 1964 was the last game in the mini tournament in Brazil and was played at the Maracanã in Rio. The Argies won it 1-0 to complete three victories out of three and win the tournament.

Alf Ramsey still hadn't got his line up fixed and only four players in this match would play in the Final in 1966. As well as Ray, there was Gordon Banks, Bobby Moore and Bobby Charlton.

Today's Town birthday is Anthony Pilkington. He was born in Blackburn in 1988 on this date and is 34 today.

We stole him from a hard up Stockport County for an undisclosed fee in January 2009 and in the two and a half seasons he had with us, he helped us twice reach the Play Offs. Sadly, he never made it to the 2011 final as he had broken his leg in March and by the time the next season started, we'd flogged him to Norwich for three million squid. He became a star for them in the Premier League.

He's now looking for a new club, having been released by Fleetwood Town.
