Huddersfield Town face familiar FA Cup opponents Birmingham City on Saturday, having played each other seven times in the world's oldest cup competition.

The Blues last made the trip to West Yorkshire for a cup clash in January 2008, with the game against the Terriers coming as a welcome break from their battle to stay in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Andy Ritchie's Town were encountering an up and down year in League One, and came into the game off the back of a 2-1 loss to Nottingham Forrest.

This inconsistent form would lead to Richie leaving the club in April by mutual consent, with academy director Gerry Murphy taking charge for the remainder of the season and guiding Town to a 10th place finish.

Former Scotland boss Alex McLeish was the Birmingham City manager at the time, having taken over from Steve Bruce who left St Andrews in November.

McLeish's side were sitting 15th in the table at the time, but a poor run of form for the remainder of the campaign would eventually see them relegated.

In the game on the January 5th, Town midfielder Chris Brandon's 81st minute volley was enough to earn Ritchie's side a Premier League scalp; Luke Beckett giving Town the lead in the 8th minute before Scottish striker Gary O'Connor equalised.

Town then overcame Oldham Athletic in the Fourth round 1-0 thanks to Beckett, before losing 3-1 to European giants Chelsea in the fifth.

But what happened to the starting line-up for Andy Ritchie's giant-killers after that win 10 years ago? Daniel Rushworth finds out...

Matt Glennon

The goalkeeper signed for the Terriers from St Johnstone in August 2006 and quickly established himself as Peter Jackson's first choice keeper.

Glennon went on to make 109 appearances for the club, before being released in January 2010 following the emergence of youngster Alex Smithies.

The stopper will be best remembered in a Town shirt for saving three penalties in a game against Crewe Alexandra in January 2007.

After spells with Bradford City, Stockport County, Chester, FC Halifax Town, Buxton and Scarborough Athletic, Glennon retired from football before making a one-off appearance for AFC Emley last season.

David Mirfin

A product of the Town academy, Mirfin played 161 games for the Terriers, scoring on nine occasions.

His seven year spell at the club came to an end when he signed for Scunthorpe United in August 2008 where he was later sent-off just ten minutes into his debut against Walsall.

The defender currently plies his trade in League Two with Mansfield Town where he had another eventful debut - this time scoring in a 2-2 draw with Crewe on August 5, 2017.
