Huddersfield Town v Plymouth Argyle
The Sky Bet Championship
Saturday January 13th - 15:00 ko
at the John Smith's Stadium

Huddersfield Town welcome Plymouth Argyle to the Town Ground on Saturday afternoon for what can only be described as, a football match. How much football and how much a match it makes out to be, is anybody's guess.

Town manager, Darren Moore, has two new signings hopefully making their league debuts in Alex Matos and Bojan Radulović, but will they be joined by any more? Club owner Kevin M. Nagle, speaking in conversation with Paul Ogden on BBC Radio Leeds on Wednesday teatime, said there could be another three or four players coming in before the end of the transfer window. Will they be here in time for kick off on Saturday?

Plymouth also have been signing players, well just the one so far. They've also lost one. Finn Azaz, who was on loan from Aston Villa and has scored seven goals for them this season, was recalled and then sold to Middlesbrough. Coming in though is 18 year old defender Ashley Phillips, who has signed on loan from Spurs for the rest of the season.

Overseeing the signing(s) is a new Head Coach, ex Kidderminster Harriers striker, Ian Foster. More of him further down the page. He has replaced Steven Schumacher, the man who got the Pilgrims promoted last season, but has now decided that Smoke-on-Stench looks like a better prospect to further his career. Odd decision!

Foster's first game in charge was an FA Cup game at home to lowly Sutton United, which ended in a 3-1 victory. His next task will be to try and get Argyle their first Championship away win since a 2-1 triumph at the Keepmoat Stadium, way back in 2010.

Here's hoping their wait will be a little longer. And here's a message of support to the boys, recorded in 1971, from Alan Hinchcliffe......

A brief history of Plymouth Argyle: formed in 1886 as Argyle Football Club, there was already a Plymouth United in the city and the two teams played each other several times before Argyle went bust in 1894. They reformed three years later as Argyle Athletic Club, playing at Marsh Mills before moving to Home Park in 1901.

They joined the Southern League in 1903, at which time they became known as Plymouth Argyle. They were managed by Bob Jack, who kept the job for 27 years, still a club record. They became a professional club as well and ten years later they won the Southern League title. In 1920, the majority of Southern League teams broke away as the Football League extended and Plymouth Argyle became founder members of the Football League Third Division (South).

Jack's son, David Jack played for him before being sold in 1919 to Bolton Wanderers. He became the first player to score at Wembley, for Bolton in that famous "white horse final" in 1923, before being bought by Herbert Chapman for Arsenal in a British record transfer fee.

They became the nearly men, finishing runners up in Div 3(S) an astonishing six seasons in a row (only one team went up in those days), before finally winning the title and promotion in 1929/30. Old man Jack resigned in 1937 after 27 years at the helm.

After the war, they reached their highest ever league position. They'd been relegated in 1950, back to Div 3 (S), but came back up again as champions in 1952. The following season, 1952/53, saw them finish 4th in Division 2. They've never been higher.

They went down again in 1956, but came back at the end of the decade. Division 3 (South) and Division 3 (North) had been nationalised into Divisions 3 and 4 and Plymouth won the first national Division Three title in 1958/59, beating runners up Hull City by a single point.

They had an nine year stint in the 2nd Division, reaching the League Cup semi final in 1965 (beaten by Leicester), before being relegated in 1968. They made the League Cup semis again in 1974, as a 3rd Division team, losing on aggregate to Manchester City.

They went up again in 1975, but came back down again in 1977.

Another semi final came in 1984, again as a 3rd Division side, but this time it was the FA Cup. They lost 1-0 to First Divison giants (at that time) Watford, at Villa Park.

Argyle then won promotion in 1985/86 as runners up to Reading and almost made it the the first Footbal League Play Offs at the end of their first season back in the 2nd Division, but a 7th place finish saw them just fall short.

New owners took over the club in the early 90s and brought in England legend, Peter Shilton as manager and he took them back down to the 3rd Division (called Division Two after the Prima Donna League induced revamp). Shilton got them to their first Play Offs in 1994, which they lost to Burnley at the semis, but then in 1995, they were relegated to the 4th tier for the first time. Shortly after winning the Play Offs with Huddersfield Town, Neil Warnock became manager of the Argyle.

Warnock got the club to Wembley for the first time in it's history in his first season at Home Park. They beat Colchester in the semis, coming from a 1-0 deficit from the first leg to win 3-1. The Gaffer was sent off from the dug out and chose to watch the rest of the match from the terraces with the fans. The Final was won with a Ronnie Mauge goal being the only goal of the game against Darlington.

Neil was surprisingly sacked in 1997 and replaced with his assistant, Mick Jones, who had been with him at Town. He kept them up, but couldn't do it the following year. Kevin Hodges, the club's record appearances holder, took over but they went back down again and so the finished the century down in the 4th tier.

Paul Sturrock became manager in November 2000, with the club 4th from bottom of the 4th tier. He did manage to turn the Pilgrim's ship around, winning the title in 2001/02. They almost reached the Play Offs in the next season, but went upin the one after. Sturrock was still in charge, but left with the club on the brink of promotion, jumping ship and docking at Southampton. When Bobby Williamson got the job, his first game in charge saw them win the title after beating QPR 2-0 and so they were back up into what was now calling itself, the Championship.

When Williamson left after a couple of season, they employed Tony Pulis in the managers office, but he didn't last too long. Too boring. They soon put that right by taking on Ian Holloway. It was at this point that the club became a national joke when Viz ran a series of cartoons based on them titled "The Pirates Of Plymouth Argyle".

By 2007, Holloway had them well established in the Championship and were serious contendors for a crack at the Play Offs. But then, as now, they were prone to the bigger clubs coming around poaching their talent. And they don't come more talented than Mr Holloway, do they?!

He went off to become manager of Leicester City in November 2007. They were also a Championship club back then. Plymouth beat them 1-0 in a match that became a war of words, leading to lawyers becoming involved. Inevitably, Holloway proved to be a huge embarrassment for the Foxes and was sacked at the end of the season, having gotten Leicester relegated to League One. Lol!

Sturrock had returned to manage Argyle when Holloway left and was in charge for that 1-0 win over Leicester. He'd resigned from Swindon Town to take up the post, which he held until December 2009 when he moved "upstairs" with former player and England international Paul Mariner taking over.

It didn't go well. They were relegated at the end of the season, ending a six year stint in the Championship. Mariner left and was replaced by Peter Reid.

It didn't go well. Reid took them straight down to League Two and with the team bottom of the entire Football League, early in the next season, he got the chop! To be fair to him though, the club had gone into administration and been docked ten points. And now had ex Leeds chairman Peter Ridsdale in charge.

A James Brent led consortium took over, got shut of Ridsdale and sold Home Park to the council. They finished the season in 21st place in League Two, their lowest ever finish. They matched that lowly position in the next season under the management of John Sheridan.

After a slow progression up the table in the next, Derek Adams took over and got them to the Play Offs. After beating Portsmouth in the semis, they lost at Wembley in the 2016 Final, 2-0 to AFC Wimbledon.

They went up in the next one though, as runners up to Pompey, but when they struggled in the season after that in League One, Adams was under fire from fans. The Board stuck with him though and they managed to finish just outside the Play Off spots, in 7th. He did eventually get sacked in 2019 as the team got relegated back down to League Two. He was replaced by Ryan Löwe.

He got the Pilgrims straight back up and managed to avoid relegation by finishing 18th in 2020/21. But halfway through the next one, he left for the bright lights of Preston and so was replaced in the hot seat by his assistant Steven Schumacher. They finished the season just outside the Play Offs again, in 7th.

Last season, 2022/23, was an exciting one for the Pilgrims fans. They made it to Wembley for the Final of the Papa John's Trophy, but got unexpectedly hammered by Bolton Wanderers, 4-0, with ex Town star Elias Kachunga amongst the scorers.

Not to worry though. They won the League One title, stacking up 101 points, three more than runners up Ipswich Town and five more than Shefiield Wednesday, who of course were managed by a certain Darren Moore.

Head to Head




Town lead the head to head with 25 wins to Plymouth's 15, with 14 draws.

This is the first time we've been in the same Division for 13 seasons and when we met at Home Park on the opening day of this season, we were behind after only six minutes. It was the first of 14 goals so far this season for Morgan Whittaker, but it was equalised by our top striker Michal Helik, just before half time.

Neil Warnock was still our manager for this one, playing against his own local team, shortly after a most successful tour of the West Country in pre season. But that success didn't carry forward into our league season as the Pilgrims went and scored two more in the second half through Bali Mumba and Ryan Hardie.

They won the previous meeting between the two teams as well, an FA Cup 3rd round match played under lockdown conditons in January 2021. Head Coach Carlos Corberan paid total disrespect to the competition, the opponents and the club's supporters by fielding an entire second choice team for this match, but Town took an early lead. Excellent work by exciting young winger Patrick Jones forced a corner in the 4th minute, from which Romoney Crichlow headed the Terriers into the lead.

That man Hardie went and equalised 20 minutes later for the then League Two team, but Town regained the lead in the 32nd minute from a goal of the season contendor by Aaron Rowe. Panutche Camara equalised before half time again though and on 70 minutes Joe Edwards scored the winner, causing a social media storm of angry fans demanding clown Carlos gets the sack.

The first meeting between the two clubs was also a 3rd round FA Cup match, but that was back in 1920 and before the rounds were re-named, so this was in modern terms a 5th round match. Town were on the up after the well documented and unwanted take over bid from MK Dons, sorry, Leeds United, had been rejected. Our brave lads had already beaten Brentford (h) and Newcastle United (a) when the Pilgrims from the Southern League came up to Leeds Road. They'd beaten Reading and Barnsley to get this far.

Attendances at home had fallen as low as 3,000 in this first season after the War and before the club was announced dead in the Examiner, but the FA Cup was the main attraction in the world of sport in those days and a massive crowd of 35,000 turned up for the visit of Plymouth, a Leeds Road record. That record was bettered by another 12,000 when Liverpool came to Huddersfield for the quarter final.

The Plymouth game was the first in a run of 16 games unbeaten in all competitions, which was ended at Stamford Bridge whe we lost 1-0 to Aston Villa in the FA Cup Final. Sammy Taylor (pictured below), Charlie Slade and Jack Swann scored the Town goals that day against Plymouth.

The next time the two teams met was another FA Cup 3rd round game. This time Town were one of the top teams in the country, in 1933/34 and finished the season as runners up in Division One to Arsenal, missing the title by three points. Plymouth were in mid table in Division Two, having won Division Three (South) four years earlier. Argyle held the Town to a 1-1 draw in our first visit to Home Park, with George McLean getting our goal. The replay was a 6-2 triumph for the Town with the legend Dave Mangnall scoring a hat trick, alongside Charlie Luke, Wilf Bott and another for McLean.

Our first league meetings came in 1952/53 in the Second Division after Town had been relegated for the first time ever and Plymouth had won promotion by winning the 1951/52 Div 3(S) title again. We won promotion at the end of the season, but Plymouth weren't that far behind, equalling their best ever finish of 4th place in the 2nd tier. The Town were too strong for the southerners though on both occasions, winning 2-0 at Home Park in December with goals from Bill McGarry and Jimmy Glazzard (pictured below).

We were already up by the time Plymouth came north for the last match of the season. Glazzard missed his only game of the campaign, but his stand in Roy Shiner, scored a hat trick, with Broughty Ferry boy Alistair Gunn, getting the other in a 4-0 win.

The next meetings came in 1959/60, again in the Second Division. We did the double over them again, but in the season after that, they got their first win over us, a rather embarrassing 5-1 defeat for new boss Eddie Boot as the Pilgrims finished above us in the league for the first time.

We had a few seasons together in the 2nd Division. One of them, 1963/64, saw us play each other six times! The first was a 4-3 home win in September and that was followed later in the month by a 2-2 draw down at Home Park in the League Cup. They had replays back then and that replay came at Leeds Road a full four weeks later. Again it was drawn, 3-3 this time. Later on in League Cup history, such a game would've been lost on the away goals rule or gone to a penalty shoot out, but back then we had to have a second replay.

It's 316 miles distance between Leeds Road and Home Park, but instead of tossing a coin to decide on the venue for this match, the authorities decided it would be best for everybody to hold the game in a neutral venue, roughly half way between. So a week later the two teams lined up again at Villa Park, a vast expannse of a football ground, with just 3,000 spectators present. Town won it 2-1 though with Les Massie and Kevin McHale scoring.

And then, believe it or not, when the FA Cup draw was made, we got Plymouth away. McHale scored again, the only goal of the game, which set us up for a famous win at Chelsea in the next round.

A week after the FA Cup match, our lads had another trip down to Plymouth in the league. This one ended up goal less.

If the two teams weren't sick of the sight of each other by now, they certainly were when in the next season, we played each other in games number 2 and 4. The first was another 0-0 draw away, but the second ended in a 2-1 defeat at Leeds Road. This is the game where Mr Boot the manager resigned at half time, left the ground and never entered another football stadium for the rest of his life. Had he really got that sick of seeing Plymouth?

Another FA Cup game in 1966 saw us win 2-0 away. Massie scored again to add to one from young Steve Smith (pictured below).

Plymouth got relegated in 1968, so the next meetings came in 1973/74 when we joined them in Division Three. Young Smith was a few years older now, having won promotion with the Terriers in 1970, played in the First Division and then stuck around as the club declined. He scored in the 2-1 win against Plymouth, as well as Phil Summerill. But in the next season a Plymouth double helped relegate us to the 4th Divison and we didn't play each other again until we came back up again in 1980 under the leadership of Mick Buxton.

We won promotion from Division Three three years later and a 2-0 win at home to Plymouth in April put us well in the frame for that, with goals from Keith Hanvey and a Malcolm Brown penalty.

They came up a couple of years later and by 1987/88, young Smith was now our manager. The second game of that season gave us all the realisation that something was terribly wrong at the club as the Pilgrims got their biggest win over us, 6-1. We beat them 2-1 at home in December with a David Cork double, but Smith had resigned by now, replaced by Malcolm Mcdonald and it was relegation for us at the end of the season.

We had one season together in the 3rd tier in 2002/03 which ended in our relegation and then met up again in 2010/11, which ended up in their relegation.

The last league game between us then, before this season, was quite a ridiculous night under the McAlpine floodlights. It was the 11th of January 2011 under the leadership of Lee Clark and we were booed off after a game we actually won. Town were one nil down in the first minute when Joe Mason scored. Things should've improved for us when they had Curtis Nelson sent off for a professional foul and even more so when they had Stephane Zubar dismissed for a second yellow.

Then came the bizarre moment. Argyle were down to eight men while they had a player (Mason) on the sidelines receiving treatment and facing a Town free kick from the halfway line. Instead of sending it into the box where we had a considerable numerical advantage, Kevin Kilbane, in his wisdom played the ball square to a team mate who obviously wasn't expecting it and missed it. The ball went straight to Mason who had just been waved back on. He raced towards goal and slotted it past Alex Smithies.

Kari Arnason started the Town come back by putting the ball into his own net and Jordan Rhodes made it level soon after. By half time the game was won when Peter Clarke scrambled one home from a corner. But the second half against the nine men was dire and despite winning 3-2, the team were booed off at the end, with an angry Clark declaring that the fans had every right to do so after such a performance.

So what's going on down at Hoe Hoe Hoe Park? Managed nowadays by Ian Foster, the former Hereford, Barrow, Chester and Kidderminster striker, who at the age of 47 has been given his first manager's job in the Football League.

It was with Kidderminster that our paths first crossed. He played in one of the embarrassing results of the 2003/04 League Two season. Embarrassing for us that is, as we lost 2-1 away at Aggborough. Embarrassing for Foster as well. He was sent off in the 34th minute, with the Harriers 1-0 up. An Anthony Lloyd own goal put the ten men 2-0 up in the second half before yet another own goal gave Town a late consolation.

I don't remember how bad the red card offence was but he was sent back to Chester City after the game. He'd been on loan at Kidderminster for the second half of the season. Before that, he'd had a couple of seasons there after signing from Barrow. He started out in the Liverpool Academy in the 90s, working under the tutelage of Steve Heighway and Sammy Lee. On being released, he joined Hereford United.

At the arse end of his playing career, he moved to Ireland and a position of assistant manager to Jeff Kenna. That was in 2008 and when Kenna left, Foster was offered the job, which he took up, before moving to Dundalk a year later, as manager.

In 2012 he returned to England as coach for Coventry's youth teams. The sudden departure of Mark Robins to Huddersfield a year later led to Foster being promoted to the first team coaching set up. Paul Cook then took him on as assistant at Portsmouth, before taking up a position with the FA in 2017.

He worked alongside Steve Cooper there with the u17 squad. Also working alongside Mike Marsh, who went on to coach at Town with David Wagner. He then became Head Coach for the u18's and then the u19's, aiding the development of Town star player, Emile Smith-Rowe among others.

Foster then trans gendered at the FA, becoming assistant to Phil Neville with the England Women's team.


After Neville got the boot, Foster moved to the u20's before leaving in the summer of 2023 to join Steven Gerrard in Saudi Arabia.

Sick of sun and sand, last week he took the job of manager at Plymouth Argyle, after Steven Schumacher left for Smoke-on-Stench.

Club connections: The most famous one obviously is the legend that is Neil Warnock. A legend of both clubs, having got them both promoted through the Play Offs and then most memorably coming back here to save us from certain relegation. We've said enough about this man over the years, there's not much more to say.

Warnock's assistant, Mick Jones who was with him at Notts County and Huddersfield before leaving to join him at Plymouth as well, became manager of the Pilgrims when Colin left, instead of going up to Oldham with him.

When Warnock left Town, he took a couple of players with him, both who had scored at Wembley for us. Richard Logan scored in the Autoglass Final against Swansea in 1994. And Chris Billy, who scored against Bristol Rovers in the Play Off Final in the following season. As you can see from the image below, Chris was a popular player with Pilgrim Pete and his mates, voted no10 in their vote for the Greatest Pilgrims. Here's a quote from that write up.......

For such a capable player in attacking areas, Billy did not score as many goals as his performances deserved but when it came to assists, he was the main man. A midfielder always probing for opportunities and also happy to get involved in the ugly stuff when required, Billy was a massive favourite with the Green Army.

When Billy and Logan were heading south, Warnock was sending one of the players he inherited up north. That was Paul Dalton, who was one of the first signings of Town's new manager, Brian Horton. He was class, but like a lot of class players, he became slightly inconsistent, but when he was in form, he was brilliant. He will probably be best remembered for his goal against Stoke in the Peter Jackson "Great Escape" season, but before joining us, he was very popular at Plymouth and is another one in their series of Great Pilgrims. And here's another quote......

A genuine class act, Paul Dalton was a Rolls Royce footballer, who made the game look blissfully easy and treated the Green Army to many memorable performances.

Dalton played in the famed Manchester United youth-team of the era but moved to Hartlepool in 1989 without making a first-team appearance for the Red Devils. After three years with the Pools, he was signed at Home Park for an impressive fee of £275,000.

A broken leg stopped his progress before making an Argyle debut but, when it came in October 1992, the cultured winger settled into three happy years as a Pilgrim. Dalton scored some magnificent goals during his time in Green and his dazzling dribbling skills made him a Home Park hero.

Few Pilgrims can match Dalton when it comes to pure talent and a sad day when this gifted footballer left Home Park for Huddersfield in 1995. He finished his distinguished career with a brief spell at Gateshead in 2000.

I've written before about Jack Cock. A lesser known Town legend. If you've read my ramblings before, you'll recall he's the lad from Cornwall, who moved to London with his parents as a child, was brought up there but signed for Huddersfield Town from Brentford just prior to the First World War. Joined the Footballer's Battallion, became a Sergeant-Major and earnt the Military Medal for "Bravery in the Field" and was Mentioned in Despatches for "gallantry" and was reported as "missing, presumed dead" at one point during the war.

Played for Brentford after the war before returning to Leeds Road where he became our first England international, only to be snapped up by Chelsea for a bargain fee when we were in a financial mess. Became a silent film star, became a music hall star, then moved to Everton.

After Everton, had a couple of seasons at Plymouth. Those two seasons, was top scorer, scoring 32 and then 33 goals in the league as they finished runners up in Div 3(S), a total of 72 in 90 games in all competitions, before moving back to London and becoming a legend at Millwall as well.

There are others, but I can't be bothered writing about them now. Maybe next season, if we're still in the same league as each other. Three names in particular, Terry Austin, Damien Johnson, Wayne Burnett and one of their current squad, Kaine Kesler-Hayden.



Plymouth in popular culture: The most famous people from Plymouth, obviously are old sailors. Sir Francis Drake, a circumnavigator, and keen player of crown green bowls is probably the one most people who did history at school will know.

Another famous sailor was William Bligh, who was captain of the HMS Bounty. Not quite sure, but was he the one who discovered coconuts? Seem to remember some film or other about the Bounty.

Some other Plymouth born people who have excelled in the water are bitter old transphobe, ex Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies and gold medal winning diver Tom Daley. Hope he's not been teaching the football team how to dive.

Brilliant dancer and star of last year's Strictly, Angela Rippon was born in Plymouth as well.

Here she is with her partner Kai Widdrington. Did you know his dad is manager of Aldershot Town?




As for pop music. Plymouth seems to have as bad a musical pedigree as Leeds! Can't find anything worth searching YouTube for.
