September 15:
Born on this date in 1990 in Sydney, New South Wales, it's a happy 32nd birthday today to one of the best players of the modern era of Huddersfield Town, Aaron Mooy.
On this date in 1998, Town were top of the second division, at the time known as Division One. They'd won at Tranmere Rovers on the Friday night to go top of the table and now we welcome another Merseyside team to the McAlpine Stadium, Premier League giants, Everton.
It was a League Cup 2nd round first leg on a Tuesday night with 15,395 in attendance. The Toffees had Duncan Ferguson up front and Nick Barmby as well. They also had future Town defender David Unsworth and coming off the bench for the last ten minutes was 18 year old Cleckheaton lad, Danny Cadamarteri.
We had an Evertonian legend in our line up. Barry Horne had been brought to Leeds Road by manager Peter Jackson in one of the key moves of the Great Escape season. We also had Nico Vaesen in goal and an attack boasting the brilliance of Paul Dalton, Marcus Stewart and Wayne Allison.
Everton scored first in the 37th minute, through Dave Watson, but on the stroke of half time, the Chief (Allison) levelled the tie up. That's how it ended on the night. The 2nd leg is next week at Goodison, but first we've got the Wolves coming on Saturday. Exciting times for Town fans.

Finish off today with a couple of big wins from the good old days.
On this date in 1928, we had our biggest win yet against our neighbours from the other end of Leeds Road. A crowd of 39,869 came out to see us win at home against Leeds United by a sensational scoreline of 6-1.
George Brown scored twice, Clem Stephenson, Billy Smith, Roy Goodall (pen) and Alex Jackson got the others. Russell Wainscoat scored for the BellEnders. We won at theirs 2-1 and also beat them 3-0 at home in the Cup.
That's a massive aggregate. Another massive one came against the biggest club in the world, Manchester United in 1930.
Having won 6-0 last week at Old Trafford, the Red Devils came over the hills to Leeds Road on this date in 1930 and we stuffed them again. Only 3-0 this time. Bob Kelly, Joe Robson and Levi Redfern scored the goals and the season aggregate of 9-0 is Man Utd's record seasonal defeat. Unless you can find different.
