Huddersfield

The story of Huddersfield Town A.F.C., an English football club that is based within Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, goes back to the club's creation in 1908.

In 1926 Huddersfield was the only club in history to take home three consecutive English League titles - a feat that just three clubs in the country have managed to achieve. They also were the winners of the FA Cup in 1922 and were runners-up on four occasions.

The club was established in 1908. The club's founders purchased a property located on Leeds Road for PS500, and then joined to the North Eastern League. The following year, they joined the Midland Football League in order to lower the cost of travel. In order to get into the Football League, the club was invited by Scottish designer Archibald Leitch to reconstruct Leeds Road. A 4,000-seat arena was to be built, as was landscaping was also planned to create a total capacity of 34,000. When the plans were approved, Huddersfield directors successfully applied to join the Football League in 1910, and the development of Leeds Road was initiated immediately. But the development costs were prohibitive and attendances fell below 7,700. Huddersfield was put into liquidation in 1912, and after that an unincorporated company established to acquire the assets of the club.

Huddersfield Town were reportedly PS25,000 in debt by 1919, and attendances dropped to 3000. The chairman John Hilton Crowther planned to join Town with the newly-formed Leeds United and move the club to Leeds. The news sparked supporters to raise funds to halt the relocation. The shares of PS1 were released, converting the team into a public-owned. In the following month, after funds and negotiating for the club's future, they remained in Huddersfield. The team made it to in the year 1920 FA Cup Final and won the promotion to the First Division for the first time.

In their debut campaign in their top league the then Leeds City manager Herbert Chapman was appointed (after Huddersfield helped him overturn his exile) as the advisor to Ambrose Langley. Chapman took over from Langley at the end of March in 1921 and guided Leeds City to an 17th finishing. In 1921's summer the players Clem Stephenson as well as the team's top goal-scorer George Brown were acquired. Chapman's strategies were based on the concepts of a sturdy defense and quick counter-attacking approach and a focus on swift, quick passing as well as reckless runs from his wingsmen. Chapman is considered to be being the first coach to effectively employ the counter-attack. Other innovative ideas include an exercise program that was disciplined for players, as well as the use of youth and reserve teams who played in the same manner as the main team. He made use of a vast network of scouting to identify the best players for his strategy.

The team was awarded their first major trophy which was that of the FA Cup, after Preston North End were defeated by 1-0 in the 1922 FA Cup Final. Huddersfield additionally won 1922's Charity Shield, defeating Liverpool 1-1. Town was third in the years 1922-23, and then won their first First Division championship in 1923-24. The team was able to beat Cardiff City, although it was only by the tiniest of margins. Both teams scored an average of 57 points. Huddersfield took the win with an amount of 0.024 in goal-to-goal average. Huddersfield defeated Nottingham Forest 3-0. Nottingham Forest in the last game, while Cardiff played to a 0-0 draw at Birmingham City and missed a penalty.

The team remained in the First Division title in 1924-25 after just one loss in the final 27 league games. Huddersfield only scored 28 goals and they never gave more than two goals in a game, the first time that a team has achieved this feat. Another remarkable feat was made in the month of October 1924 when Billy Smith became the first player to score straight from the corner. After winning consecutive league titles, Chapman left for Arsenal who offered to double his earnings and also attracted bigger attendance than Huddersfield. Cecil Potter was brought in as his successor. under Potter, Town became the first team to win three consecutive English League titles in 1925-26. Town came close to winning their fourth consecutive title following the season, but they only won one of their final seven games and so handed the title over to Newcastle United. Town was able to complete their "wrong double" in 1927-28 and finished runners-up both in the league and their place in the FA Cup Final.

In the month of March 1928, an international game in the midst of a war between England and Scotland was played with five Town players. Tom Wilson, Bob Kelly, Billy Smith, and Roy Goodall started for England; Alex Jackson played for Scotland. Jackson scored a hat-trick when Scotland became known as "The Wembley Wizards", defeated England 5-1.

The ageing team of Huddersfield was not sufficiently substituted. A decline in their ranking was the result, however they finished runners-up between 1933 and 1934 and two additional FA Cup Finals were reached under the new management of Clem Stephenson. Town was defeated by the team of Chapman's Arsenal and then in 1938 in 1938 by Preston North End after extra time. This is the very initial FA Cup Final to be broadcast on television. The highest attendance in the home arena of 67,037 people was recorded in 1932 in the FA Cup sixth round tie against Arsenal.

Town were dropped to the second time during the season 1951/52. Stockport County manager Andy Beattie was appointed in April 1952 and he managed Stockport as well as Huddersfield within three divisions within this same time frame. Also, he had two horseshoes attached to his office's wall to ensure luck. The team was 2nd in the Second Division in 1952-53 and returned to the top flight immediately. They came in third in their first year back in the top division. After Town were deported in 1955-56, Beattie resigned as manager in November of 1956, and Bill Shankly succeeded him. In December of 1957 the team was leading 5-1 in the final 30 minutes to play Charlton Athletic, but lost 7-6. Shankly quit in December of 1959 to become manager of Liverpool.

The floodlights were erected at Leeds Road in 1961, they were financed through Denis Law's British records transfer charge of P55,000 from Denis Law to Manchester City The lights were later named"Denis Law Lights" "Denis Law Lights".

Huddersfield continued to play in the second division in the 1960s. They reached the semi-finals of the League Cup in 1967-68, but were beaten in the aggregate by Arsenal. The club was renamed in 1969 and took on the name "The Terriers". Town took their place in the Second Division in 1969-70 under the direction by Ian Greaves. The team was able to stay up during their debut season in the first tier but were then relegated in 1971-72 following another relegation to Third Division for the first time following. Huddersfield were sent into the Fourth Division for the first time in 1974-75.

The former Town director Tom Johnston returned to the club as the general manager in the year 1975. The club then changed to blue shirts with all-blue stripes which he introduced in the middle of the 1960s. Johnston took over from Bobby Collins as manager in December of 1975. In the 1976-77 football year, John Haselden became the manager, with Johnston back to his former position. However, this didn't last long, because Johnston was able to dismiss Haselden in September of 1977 and took over the role. Johnston steered Town down to the lowest position in the league, which was 11th at the conclusion of the 1977-78 campaign.

A turnaround began in the hands of coach Mick Buxton, who was appointed in 1978. Huddersfield took their Fourth Division in 1979-80, scoring 101 goals during the campaign. Town was just outside of the promotion spots in the next season. The team was promoted into the Second Division in 1982-83 by the third place finish. Because of Huddersfield being in the lowest of the division, decreasing home attendances, and the financial strain that resulted, Buxton was sacked in December of 1986. Steve Smith succeeded him, and was the first (and in 2022, the sole) permanent manager of the club's history to be from Huddersfield. The team managed to stay ahead by three points during the season, but they were then relegated to the third division in 1987-88. Town only won six games but conceded 100 goals and fell 10-1 to Manchester City. Huddersfield were in their 1991-1992 Third Division play-offs, but were defeated in the semi-finals against Peterborough United by an aggregate score of 4-3.

The team did not fall into the Third Division (renamed from the Fourth Division after the introduction of the Premier League) in 1992-93 following a string of just three losses in their 17 games in league and finishing at 15th. The manager Neil Warnock took over from Ian Ross for the 1993-94 season. Town made it to the 1994 Football League Trophy Final, however, they lost to Swansea City on penalties.

Huddersfield Town played their final game on Leeds Road on 30 April 1994. They defeated Blackpool by a score of 2-1. The game attracted a full audience of 16195. They moved to the brand modern Kirklees Stadium (then named as the Alfred McAlpine Stadium) during the 1994-95 season. The first time they played in the stadium's new home, Huddersfield were promoted to the second division via play-offs following a 2-1 victory in the play-offs against Bristol Rovers at Wembley. Warnock was dismissed from the club that summer being replaced with Brian Horton, who guided the Town to an eighth position in the next season.

Horton was fired at the end of October in 1997 leaving Huddersfield not winning the first 9 games. A former Huddersfield players Peter Jackson was given the post. The team only scored one point during Jackson's first five matches However, Huddersfield ultimately won in their 15th game, defeating Stoke City 3-1. In between, unbeaten and no wins followed, and Town were able to hold on to 16th place in the league.

In the month of January, 1999 the club was purchased by a local owner Barry Rubery, who targeted to be in the Premier League. Steve Bruce succeeded Jackson in May 1999. Huddersfield were top of the table in December, however their form plummeted following the departure of the striker Marcus Stewart was sold in the window of January's transfer for First Division rivals Ipswich Town. The team ended the season eighth close to the play-offs. Bruce was fired in October of 2000. Rubery claimed Bruce of "wasting PS3 million" and claimed that the money could had been "spent more prudently by a wiser manager with no excessive ego that he could feed". Bruce was substituted with Lou Macari, who was not able to stop the slide , as relegation the third tier was the outcome after the conclusion year. Huddersfield made it to the play-offs in 2001-2002, but lost by a score of 2-1 in the semi-finals to Brentford at the semi-final stage.

In the same time frame the club was in the midst of a debt of 20 million pounds due to the relegation process and the fall of ITV Digital. The players remained unpaid for months. getting paid and the their manager Mick Wadsworth was sacked in January 2003 only to be reinstated later because the club was not able to raise funds to pay his off. Wadsworth was fired in March and replaced Mel Machin, who oversaw the relegation process to the fourth tier. The club went into administration and then Ken Davy bought the club in the summer of 2003, and saved Town from financial ruin. The manager Peter Jackson only had four senior players in his roster before the start of the 2003-04 campaign, following which a number of youngsters from the academy were brought in. Huddersfield ended up in an unexpected fourth position, and beat Mansfield Town in the play-off Final to be relegated to the third division.

The team made it to the play-offs in 2005 and 2006, but they were defeated in the semi-finals by Barnsley in the semi-finals, following more years within League One followed. Dean Hoyle took over as chairman and majority shareholder at the time of June of 2009. Town played in the play-offs 2009-2010 with director Lee Clark, but lost against Millwall in the semi-final. The team was again able to qualify for the play-offs following season, but Peterborough United were victorious in the final. Huddersfield achieved the Football League record of 43 matches without a loss (not including play-off games) This record was earlier established by Nottingham Forest, in November 2011. Clark was dismissed in February 2012 after an 1-0 loss at home against Sheffield United, and was replaced by the former Leeds United manager Simon Grayson. Clark led Town into the Play-Off final in the match against Sheffield United. The game ended in a draw after extra time, but Huddersfield prevailed following 22 penalties (8-7).

Despite this achievement, Grayson was sacked in January 2013, and replaced by Mark Robins. Huddersfield did not fall into the relegation zone on the final day following a draw with Barnsley. German Borussia Dortmund II coach David Wagner became the first person from outside in the British Isles to manage the club in November of 2015. Wagner implemented the "Gegenpressing" method of football. For 2016-17 Town placed fifth, with a negative goal differential and were able to qualify for the play-offs. After beating Sheffield Wednesday on penalties in the semi-final, they took on Reading in the final. A penalty shoot-out ensued, and Huddersfield prevailed. The promotion in the Premier League meant a return to the first division after a gap of seven years. Huddersfield was also the second club, following Blackpool who been the winner of all three divisional play-offs.

They finished in 16th place, and continued to climb after their return however, they were then relegated following finishing 20th in the 2018-19. Wagner was dismissed by mutual agreement in January 2019. He took over by Borussia Dortmund II coach Jan Siewert, but Town were dismissed in March, with just six games remaining. The team scored just three victories and scored just 16 points before the final game this season. The chairman Hoyle announced his resignation in May 2019and sold the team to businessman Phil Hodgkinson, relinquishing the post due to his declining health. Siewert was succeeded with Lincoln City manager Danny Cowley in September that year, who led the club to victory through the Championship before being dismissed. Leeds United assistant coach Carlos Corberan was appointed Leeds United's new head coach in July.

The club spent eight years debating the color the uniform should be, with various suggestions from salmon pink, plain white, or all-blue with a blue yoke. In 1916 the club adopted a blue and white striped jersey, which remains until today.

The badge of the club is inspired by the arms and coat of arms from Huddersfield. Town first put the badge on its shirts in that 1920 FA Cup Final based on the Huddersfield coat of arms. The badge was re-introduced with the Yorkshire Rose for the 1922 FA Cup Final and again for the finals in 1928 1930, 1938 and 1928. The primary colours of the club, blue and white appear throughout the badge , both on the mantle and the shield as stripes. The two Yorkshire Roses and Castle Hill are part of the history of the club and region.

Town continued to use the same style (blue with white stripes) until 1966 and then Scottish Manager Tom Johnston introduced all-blue shirts. The club also introduced a new badge introduced that year, and an inscription in the form of a horizontal "HTFC" was affixed to the blue shirts. The club was given the name "The Terriers" during the season 1969-70 the stripes of white and blue returned along with red terriers and the word "The Terriers".

After being relegated into the Fourth Division, Huddersfield returned to blue shirts with an all-blue vertical monogram crest following returning Tom Johnston in 1975. Stripes came back in the 1977-78 campaign and remain the club's official home kit since then. In the year 1980, Town adopted what remains their current badge. It incorporated elements from the town's coat of arms with contemporary themes, including white and blue stripes as well as an emu with football.

It was in 2000 that Huddersfield adopted a circular style but it wasn't well-liked by supporters, and they then the team returned to its heraldic-style badge. The badge was further developed with minor changes in 2005. The club made the decision to take out "A.F.C." from the text, and instead leave the phrase "Huddersfield Town". This eliminated the need for embroidery on club merchandise and shirts and gave the printed work a uniform look.

The club adopted the Terriers logo in the year 2018. The logo was exclusively used on the strip, and did not take over the heraldic crest that was still used on the official media and on documents. In the year 2019, Town agreed to have Paddy Power shirt sponsorship in an eye-catching beauty queen-style diagonal sash. Within a few days after the announcement, the club was approached from The Football Association for their "observations" regarding the shirt. In the following days it was revealed the shirt was an prank devised in the mind of Paddy Power, and that the club would wear the shirts with no sponsors. in the context in their "Save Our shirt" campaign.

Huddersfield have reverted to a revised version of their heraldic crest in the year 2019. Three stars (representing their winning a hat-trick of league titles back in 1920s) were added to the shield. Additionally one Yorkshire Rose was placed at the top of the white and blue stripes, just above the 3 stars. Also, the shield got modernized, shifting away from the earlier round version. The Terrier was added to the crest at high on top and the date of the club's foundation was added to the opposite end the Castle Hill.

• Leeds Road (1908–1994)
• Kirklees Stadium (1994–present)
  • Named "Alfred McAlpine Stadium" (1994–2004)
  • Named "Galpharm Stadium" (2004–2012)
  • Named "John Smith's Stadium" (2012–present)

Huddersfield are the only team in history to play at all 4 professional levels in English football on two distinct stadiums.

Since 1920, the club's tune has always been "Smile A Little". The song was written in 1920 by G. W. Chappell from Longwood, Huddersfield, before the 1920 FA Cup Final against Aston Villa. It was an adaptation of the well-known First World War song "Till We Meet Again". The song was initially titled "The Town Anthem", and was performed by Town supporters before the final. The song is still performed by Huddersfield supporters during home matches.

A small group of Town supporters formed a club known as "North Stand Loyal". The group's goal was "to enhance the atmosphere at the stadium during match days" and group members had been "inspired by fan clubs from the continent of Europe as well as other regions of the globe". In 2017, the group changed its name and rebranded the group "Cowshed Loyal". The group is situated on the South Stand, which is shared by away fans.

There are also a variety of supporters' groups from overseas which include club members located in Australia, Canada, Northern Ireland, Norway, Republic of Ireland, Singapore, Slovakia and the United States. Some notable fans throughout the years have included the Prime Premier Harold Wilson, who was born in the town, as well as the actor Patrick Stewart, who became the president of the Huddersfield Town Academy in 2010.

The primary rivals for Huddersfield Town are believed as West Yorkshire teams Bradford City and Leeds United. Town have the superior head-to head record against City with 21 matches having been played with 17 draws and 14 were lost. In addition to games against the Leeds City's former club Leeds City, Huddersfield have won 36 of the 90 derbies played between both teams as well as 20 draws, in addition to 35 Leeds wins.

Smaller rivalries exist between South Yorkshire teams Barnsley as well as Sheffield Wednesday, and there is an Huddersfield vs. Roses Rivalry Oldham Athletic. Huddersfield has the distinction of having a relationship against Cambridgeshire team Peterborough United, largely fuelled by the play-off matches in 1992 and 2011.
