1963–64 Colchester United F.C. season
Encyclopedia
The 1963–64 season was Colchester United's
second consecutive season in the Football League Third Division
who took over the manager's role at Orient
in November 1963. Replacing him was former Stoke
and England
centre-half Neil Franklin
. Franklin had been a regular alongside Billy Wright in the England side just after the War, but blotted his CV when he embarked on a fools gold trip to Colombia to become part of an underworld-funded attempt to attract the World's best players to play in a renegade League. The competition was not FIFA
sanctioned, the financial promises not met and Franklin returned to the UK to face a lengthy FA
ban.
His first transfer at Layer Road
was to sell Bobby Hunt
to First Division
-bound Northampton
for £20,000 (around £650,000 based on the average earnings index). Hunt already had 20 goals from 33 League games when he left with Martyn King reaching 18 by the end of a disappointing 16th placed campaign.
United had claimed another First Division scalp when beating Fulham
5-3 in the League Cup
at Layer Road but crashed out to Workington at the Third Round stage.
