City 10 Huddersfield Town 1

[melrose40yarder]

I seem to remember being a poor student and only being able to watch the Middlesborough game or this one. I chose the Borough game - nil nil!!!

Epic Failure

A funny story from this game a chant went up oh merseyside is full of s..t.The coppers on the kippax lifted 5 or 6 chanters one being our mate.It was 1 nil at the time they let him go at 7 nil with no charges.He did not believe the coppers or us when he got back into the ground.I think it only began to sink in when everyone started singing we want 10.He never swore again at the match.That night in the pub he was begging us not to tell his dad .

I wasn't a student but I was in the same boat that week regarding being skint. I chose the Boro midweek game due to them looking like a promotion rival .... not the best choice I've ever made.

Had a badly bruised shin from taking a heavy whack playing football that morning so as I limped painfully to the ground, I decided to swerve my usual spot on the Kippax and for some reason decided to watch the game from that weird little section of seats between the Main and North stands.
Pissing it down all day and as Huddersfield dominated early on, missing two absolute sitters, I was left wondering why the hell I bothered. The rest is history.
Huddersfield’s fans were great tbf, doing the conga round the Platt Lane when they scored their sympathy penalty.
Town boss Malcolm McDonald’s gloriously bitter post-match interview was priceless. “Well, four of them were offside”...

That wierd little section of seats between North and Main stand was officially the Family stand,altho,in reality anyone could go in there.
I brought a ticket for the game at the ticket office 90 mins before k,o and ended up in this section..the police security /cctv ? Box was directly behind this stand at the back..ie directly facing the kippax,which was half empty that day..
I distinctly remember udders fans doing the Conga around the front of Platt Lane,great laugh.
Little did i know,huddersfield was gonna play quite a part in my City 87/88 season...had my first taste of West Yorkshire bitter before the fa cup 3rd round match at Leeds rd...and was there in the pouring rain for the 2nd replay which we won 3nil after the nil nil draw at Maine rd.
Pretty sure Udders beat us 1nil in the return league match...10 goals over two league games..but only 3 pts...typical city.
.we funished 12th that year iirc.

I was another who heard it on Piccadilly, I loved James H and The Doc. I think that show was almost perfect and there was nothing as exciting as then the music slightly faded and "It's a goal!" came on! I couldn't believe we'd get 10! I bet the week after I would've expected a 6-0 win and a 6-0 win the week after... ah the joys of youth before I experienced "typical City"!!

Strange to think if we played Huddersfield today, I wouldn't be too surprised if we got 10. I'd probably be more annoyed about conceding a goal and my Dad would be moaning about Mahrez only getting 3!! :)

To be fair, in those days, it was as likely to be the 'Oh no...' followed by a disconsolate James H cutting to Brian Clarke at Maine Road!!

Enjoyed reading the Duncan Shearer peice.i remember him as a lower division striker ..with loads of goals. And what a way to make your debut.a hatrick away from home at Barnsley! Instant endearment to the fans...
The sort of start Wayne Biggins really needed under Machin,lol.

Stood under the overhang of the NS roof in the corner peering through that green wire fence rather than the Kippax as the rake was better and being a short-arse I liked to watch the game.

For some reason that I can’t remember 37 years later, I decided to swerve this one. Great decision!

It was mad. City 9-1 up and the Kippax chanting “we want ten”. Totally disrespectful!
