Huddersfield Town F.C. season 1986-87
Encyclopedia
Huddersfield Town's 1986-87 campaign saw the end of Mick Buxton's
reign as Huddersfield Town manager, a job he had had for 8 years. Only Clem Stephenson
has had a longer reign as manager of the Terriers. He was replaced by Steve Smith
in early January 1987, but Town only survived relegation by 3 points, which became a sort of pre-cursor to the debacle that the next season's campaign
would bring.
5-4 at Leeds Road
. The main highlight of the early part of the season was a Littlewoods Cup
tie against Arsenal
, in which Town only lost 3-1 on aggregate.
The middle part of the season didn't prove to be much better, a run of 4 consecutive losses including a 4-3 loss at Bradford City
, but that was reconciled when they beat them 5-2 on December 27. Just before beating Bradford, Mick Buxton's
tenure as Town manager ended after 8 years in charge. He was replaced by coach
Steve Smith
.
Smith's tenure started with a 4-2 defeat by Norwich City
, but during March, Town went on a run of six consecutive draws - a club record. Town finished the season in 17th, just 3 points and 3 places above the drop zone. Little did Town fans know what was going to happen to Town the following season
