Any Previous? Latics v Huddersfield Town

Latics face Huddersfield Town at the DW Stadium on Saturday, 33 meetings down the years with the Terriers having slightly the better of things so far.

 

The first meeting between the two clubs came on the 24th November 1973, a 1^st round FA Cup tie played at Leeds Road, with Huddersfield winning the game 2:0.

 We met in the 4^th Division in our inaugural season in the Football League, a goalless draw at Leeds Road in October was followed up by a 2:1 Latics win in the return fixture at Springfield Park on the 17^th February 1979, Noel Ward with both the Latics goals and Ian Robins with the consolation for Huddersfield.

 Classic Encounters

2^nd November 2013, Latics under Owen Coyle struggling to get a win with none in their last four matches, only for a fantastic display by Alex Smithies in the Huddersfield goal the scoreline could have been more emphatic than what it ended up.
