Personalised Huddersfield Town Football Books
Enjoy a Newspaper History of the Terriers
Huddersfield Town FC was founded in 1908. Huddersfield had tried to form a football team in previous years, but the popularity of rugby in the town had made this difficult. The club gradually became established alongside the rugby side, but financial crisis threatened to destroy the Terriers. There was a risk of merger with rivals Leeds United in 1919, but Huddersfield Town survived and they soon stormed to the top of the football league. The club won three consecutive First Division titles between 1924 and 1926 and finished as runners-up in the following two seasons. The Terriers have also enjoyed cup success. Huddersfield won the FA Cup in 1922 and they appeared in further finals in later years.
