ON THIS DAY

Inevitably when a club celebrates their centenary the opportunity is taken to look back at the clubs' history. When Huddersfield Town celebrated their centenary in 2008 they entertained Arsenal at their Galpharm Stadium in their centenary match on 6th August. Those two clubs shared an important figure in their respective histories - Herbert Chapman - and much time was spent reflecting on the influence of that great manager had on the histories of the two respective clubs. The 1920s and 1930s saw both Huddersfield and Arsenal record hat-trick of League titles with Chapman being credited in building the sides that achieved those honours although he wasn't with either club for the whole of those hat-trick periods. In addition to celebrating the centenary the match was played for the Herbert Chapman Trophy with the Londoners taking the honours with a 2-1 victory in front of 19,044 fans. The trophy was presented to the winners by Ken Chapman, Herbert Chapman's nephew. 7 th August
