In 1983 Latics visited Leeds Road knowing that they desperately needed a result to stay in League Division Three. We managed a 1-1 draw courtesy of an own goal, which confirmed Huddersfield Town’s promotion, but it left us in a precarious position hovering above the drop zone, the crowd was 11,093.

I did mean the third division, not the Football League, highlighted by Huddersfield being promoted – I knew which league we were in – I should know not to presume that everybody else would know what league we were in, I’ll try not to do that again.
