October 21:

Well this is the one, folks. The return of a fixture that hadn't been played for 45 years. Huddersfield Town v Manchester United, played on this date in 2017.

The last time Man Utd came to Huddersfield, George Best, Bobby Charlton and Denis Law all scored. That was 3-0 to them. All the pundits thought it would be a similar score in this one as Jose Mourinho brought his mega bucks Mancs to the John Smith's Stadium.

They were well wrong. Romelu Lukaku had the first chanceof the game, but from the moment that Aaron Mooy robbed the ball off Juan Mata in the 28th minute, there was only gonna be one winner. The brilliant baldy raced forward with the ball before passing to Tom Ince, who's shot was saved by David de Gea, only for it to drop back at the feet of Mooy, who smacked it into the net and went off on a knee slide in front of the fans in the Riverside Stand.

Just five minutes later, whilst the record crowd for the stadium were still singing Smile Awhile in triumph of the first goal, we only went and gone 2-0 up. A long ball by Jonas Lossl was completely missed and messed up by Victor Lindelof, leaving the Belgian tank Laurent Depoitre to round de Gea and stick it in the back of the net, causing pandemonium. Chaffers chafed her shin she jumped so high, landing on the back of the seat in front. Ouch!

So two-nil at half time, Mourinho brought on future national treasure, Marcus Rashford. He pulled a goal back in the 78th minute after some good work by Lukaku, chasing down a ball that held up on the soddened turf and sending in a perfect cross.

It was a nervy last few minutes when the stadium clock started going backwards. Eventually the ref blew his whistle, but that was after a match winning block by Zanka on a Chris Smalling shot in the fourth minute of injury time.

David Wagner led the celebrations, like the tinpot club we are with our clappers and our embarrassing wave celebrations that no club in the league were ever jealous of at all. Anybody would think we'd just beaten the most famous football club in the world.

'Ere, give your eyes a treat and watch this......

Also today, it's a happy 40th birthday to Antony Kay. He was born on this date in 1982 in Barnsley and scored a famous header for us in the Play Off semi final in 2011 against AFC Bournemouth that brought the match to a penalty shoot out. He then went and scored the winning penalty in that shoot out to cause a bit more pandemonium in the stadium. Good lad.

Happy birthday, Antony without an H.

We also have an international debut today. This was goalkeeper Ted Taylor, who at the age of 35, was gaining the first of his eight caps for England. It was in a British Championships match against Ireland at the Hawthorns on this date in 1922.

Ted, who had taken over from Sandy Mutch in goal at the start of the season, came to us from Oldham and would go on to win two league championships with us and another one with Everton. He would've won three with us, but a broken leg meant he missed most of the second Championship winning season.

Anyway, he kept a clean sheet on his England debut in a 2-0 win, in which Henry Chambers of Liverpool scored both the goals.
