Oh this was a sad, sad time for Huddersfield Town and their supporters. When the side were relegated at the end of the 1971/72 season the cream of the players were snapped up by other clubs. Visions of vultures picking at bones. Frankie Worthington went to Leicester, Cherry to Leeds, and more besides. And Town went into freefall down the divisions. From Highbury to Spotland in 4 miserable years. A proud history down the pan! But did we stop supporting the blue and white's. Not on your nellie! We were there, Doncaster, Shrewsbury, Chester, Hereford, Rochdale, Scunthorpe, Newport, every hole in the ground between here and Lands End. Players came and players went. Such illustrious names as Spriggs, Hart, MAitland, Belfitt, Dungworth, Sweeney, Summerill, and Gowling. Jimmy Nick departed as did Terry Poole, Dick Kryzwicki, Jimmy McGilland most of the others who had fought to take us into the top division. It is best to draw this era to a close without much comment because the teams were dire and the memories are bitter. |
