TERRIERS v RED ROBINS (ADDICKS)

I got a late phone call from an organ builder yesterday morning and an invitation to watch Huddersfield Town in the afternoon. Various non-league fixtures were possible but I really didn't want to follow the fortunes of the FA Trophy Fourth Round...AFC Fylde v Harrogate Town, Notts County v Aveley, Concorde Rangers v Royston Town and Barnet v Halesowen T. All a bit too far to travel on a challenging Saturday for weather. Shame. So Huddersfield T v Charlton Athletic looks a good replacement; local, sun's out and this fixture has an history. It was a Division 2 league game, 7-6. here's an earlier blog explaining that:

The two clubs also met earlier that season on 29th August 1957 with a 3-3 draw.

The two clubs have the following head to head record home and away (League and Cups):
Athletic 37 wins  Drawn 19  Town 35....so The Terriers were able to close the gap with an impressive 4-0 win.

On the other hand, Town were thumped 10-1 by Manchester City on November 7th 1987 in the Second Division when Tony Adcock, Paul Stewart and David White scored hat tricks. On April 12th 1993, Town's Phil Starbuck managed a three second goal having come on as a sub against Wigan in a Second Div match .
