August 25:

The year is 1923. George V is on the throne, Stanley Baldwin is in no 10, our present Queen's parents had just got married, Wembley had held it's first Cup Final and the tomb of Tutankhamun had been opened. And on this date, another great dynasty became active. Today was the day that Huddersfield Town played the first game of their Thrice Champions league games.

It was a home game at Leeds Road against Middlesbrough. Herbert Chapman was in charge by now, winning the FA Cup in 1922 and finishing 22/23 in 3rd place in Division One. But who would've known what was about to take place over the next three seasons?

So this was a 1-0 win for the mighty blue n white stripes and it was Charlie Wilson with the goal.

That was a win against the Boro. The week after, we lost at Ayresome Park, a ground that would be a very difficult place for Huddersfield Town teams to win at. But on this date in 1962, we went there and beat the Smoggies 5-0.

It was the third game of the season and we had former player Eddie Boot, in as manager. He had been in the team that had been whupped 8-0 at this ground in 1950. Today, he got some kind of payback as Derek Stokes (who died in May this year) scored twice, Ray Wilson got one and Kevin McHale got another one to add to an own goal from Gordon Jones.

On this date in 2012, having won promotion to the Championship at the end of the previous season, we had our first win in the 2nd tier since we beat QPR at home in 2001. It was Burnley who were vanquished at the McAlpharm in this one. Joel Lynch, our new signing from the Nottingham Florists, scored his first goal for the club in the 7th minute, a header from a corner.

He's now playing for Crawley Town. The second Town scorer is still banging 'em in for the Terriers. That's Jordan Rhodes, but sadly this was his last goal for us while he was still in his prime and he would return in November with his new club, Blackburn Rovers and score against us.

Naughty boy!
