November 29:

On this date in 1967, Huddersfield Town played in the fifth round of the League Cup for the first time and so far, the only time. It came just four days after my dad had taken me to my first ever Town match and I knew absolutely nothing about this match. I've certainly no recollection of it.

It was played against Fulham at Craven Cottage, a team who were currently bottom of the First Division. The Cottage Pies weren't the yo-yo club that they are now. They got relegated at the end of this season and didn't get back to the top tier until 2001.

They still had Johnny Haynes playing for them at this time and he played in this one. He had been England captain and had played in three World Cups and became the first footballer to earn £100 a week. He now has a statue at the stadium.

They also had a young goalscorer in the side who would go on to play for England. He'd also go on to be a star player for Leeds Urinals. I talk of course, about Allan Clarke. Yes, that prick!

We had Frank Worthington though. He'd just got on a run of games, taking the number 9 shirt off Brian Clark and was finding the back of the net. He'd scored his first ever first team goal in the previous round, a 2-0 win at home to West Ham. He'd scored the only goal of the game in that match against QPR at the weekend, his first ever league goal. He scored in this game as well.

It was a 1-1 draw, but I haven't found who scored for Fulham or in what order the goals came. What I do know is that the replay will be back at Leeds Road on the 12th of December for a place in the semi finals.
