Head To Head - Huddersfield
Posted on: Thu 02 Oct 2008
HEAD TO HEAD
The two clubs have met on 51 previous occasions, with 50 of those coming with points at stake. In Yorkshire, we have managed just 5 wins and 5 draws in 25 previous visits.
EARLY MEETINGS
The clubs first crossed swords back in 1910-11, when Fosse triumphed in both fixtures by a scoreline of 2-1. In fact, three of those away wins came in Fosse's first four visits to Leeds Road.
RECENT HISTORY
The most recent league clashes came back in 1995-96. Indeed, November 1995 marked our only previous visit to the Terriers' present home, then titled the Alfred McAlpine Stadium, which resulted in a 1-3 reverse. Mark Robins netted for the Foxes that evening, which saw City decked in their blue and green halved away strip.
BIGGEST WINS
City took a 5-1 hammering at Leeds Road in October 1933. Indeed, the thirties was not a happy time for trips to Huddersfield, as the Terriers also logged a couple of 4-1 home wins over us during that decade.
SEQUENCES
City have not won on any of our last four visits to Huddersfield. We actually have to go back to August 1956 to recall our last victory on the Terriers' turf: a 2-1 success with Arthur Rowley on target.
MARKSMEN
The only player to net a hat trick in fixtures between the clubs is Huddersfield's George Brown in October 1926, as the Terriers ran out Leeds Road winners in a 5-3 thriller. Brown is actually Town's leading overall marksman against Leicester with 9 strikes; one fewer than City's Arthur Chandler has managed against Huddersfield.
DEBUTANTS
Some 16 players have made their Leicester league debuts against the Terriers, including Sep Smith, Jon Sammels, Dave Tomlin and, most recently, Paul Groves.
FOOT IN BOTH CAMPS
The smattering of players to have represented both clubs over the years includes Ian Banks, Danny Cadamarteri, Damien Delaney, Peter Eastoe, Brian Greenhalgh, Ernie Hine, Mick Kennedy, Lee Morris, Paul Reid, Iwan Roberts, Frank Sinclair, Tom Sweenie, Julian Watts and Frank Worthington.
