Huddersfield Town nostalgia: Ian Greaves’ boys pay penalty as plan of attack fails to blossom

Jan 1 2011 by Dougie Thomson, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

TOWN were left facing an FA Cup third-round replay at Birmingham City after their onslaught against the Second Division side ran out of steam.

Ian Greaves’ top-flight team created chance after chance in the opening half hour in front of a 20,486 crowd at Leeds Road.

But they had only one goal to show for their efforts, scored by Bobby Hoy in the 18th minute, and paid the price after 69.

There was more than a hint of controversy as Freddie Goodwin’s side hit back with a twice-taken penalty.

Town keeper Terry Poole was adamant he had been fouled as he came out for a corner which he punched clear, but only as far as Roger Hynd.

The former Crystal Palace defender’s header looked destined for the net – until right-back Dennis Clarke bundled it away with his hand.

Poole breathed a sigh of relief as Alan Campbell crashed the spot kick against an upright, only to be penalised for moving before the ball was kicked. Substitute Phil Summerill stepped up for the retake, and promptly beat Poole to level a tie which Brum came close to winning.
