I spoke to a former Forest player during the playoffs and he said there was a poll among all the Boro players and staff in January as to whether they should recall him. Not one single person wanted him back. Says it all.
Huddersfield are relegated. Thanks for the memories.
And by memories, I mean that time a Sky reporter went to interview your new manager, but it turned out it was just a random man in the crowd who looked a bit like him.
When you support a relatively small club like
@htafc
you rarely get to brag about homegrown players making a mark for
@England
.
So us Terriers should take pride in our club’s role in helping Levi Colwill & Emile Smith Rowe move to within touching distance of
@UEFA
U21 glory
When I saw this photo, posted on Facebook by a fellow Terrier whose dad had just died, it brought tears to my eyes. It’s a powerful reminder that whatever happens in the future us Huddersfield fans will always have Wembley.

It was 22 years ago today that
@htafc
's Great Escape was complete thanks to a 1-0 win over West Brom. Peter Jackson's and Terry Yorath's place in Terriers' folklore was secured as we came back from the dead to stay up while Man City were heading down to third-tier football
#htafc
Very sad news as the mother of former
@htafc
player Jordan Sinnott - who died in tragic circumstances in January 2029 - and ex-wife of former Terriers skipper Lee Sinnott has died with cancer
#htafc
💔
According to Huddersfield grapevine,
@htafc
are poised to announce that the
@KevinNagleMLS
takeover is complete and that Neil Warnock is staying on for another year
#htafc
After eight years I’m sad to say that today is my last day as a member of the
@alzheimerssoc
media team. It’s been a privilege to do my bit to raise the profile of dementia - even though I have let the side down every now and again.
We understand that
#BristolCity
are now stepping up their interest in Chris Hughton. The club is due to meet him in the next days and - although there are other candidates still - he is emerging as the new leading contender. See more at

On this day 40 years ago, Mick Buxton's Huddersfield Town team beat Norman Hunter's Barnsley side at Leeds Road. Watched by 28,901 fans, Dave Cowling scored the winner in front of the YTV cameras and their commentator Martin Tyler.
#htafc
When the final whistle sounded I thought fair play to Forest etc but then I saw the replays of Jon Moss and the VAR lot’s ineptitude and it’s made me feel we were victims of an injustice which makes defeat harder to take

As highlights of the year go,
@htafcdotcom
fans are spoilt for choice but for me nothing can beat this because it still sends shivers down my spine
#htafc
22 - Since Neil Warnock's first game in charge of Huddersfield Town this season in February, only four teams (Burnley, Luton, Coventry and Sheffield United) have won more points in the Championship than the Terriers (22), who have now avoided relegation. Specialist.
If my fellow
@htafc
fans haven’t got nice things to say about our players they should button it and vent their spleens away from a public platform like this because the responses to this club announcement are beyond embarrassing
#htafc
Happy 52nd birthday to
@htafc
cult hero Iffy Onuora who is one of the few players to make jump from university
@UniofBradford
to forge a career in professional football
#htafc
My friends back up in Huddersfield have been telling me great things about
@htafc
captain Lewis O’Brien and now having seen him boss the midfield against
@BristolCity
I can see what all the fuss is about. He’s a class act.
#htafc
One of the best things about going to watch
@htafc
is bumping into my old
@moor_end
pals like Keith Lewis who’s one of those Terriers who -unlike me - support the club through thick and thin all over the country

#bcafc
It was on this day 40 years ago that
@htafc
clinched promotion from the old Division Three thanks to Dave Cowling’s goal in a 1-0 win at our Leeds Road ground over a
@NewportCounty
side featuring John Aldridge

The
@htafc
great Steve Smith will be celebrating his 75th birthday today. He’s now living with dementia in a Huddersfield care home but I hope he still knows what a hero he’ll always be to us Town fans
#htafc
Happy 64th birthday to former
@htafc
winger Lloyd Maitland who has his own niche in my multi-cultural hometown’s history as the first ever black player to represent the club back in the 70s, as featured in

Once a Terrier, always a Terrier... I had the privilege of meeting Huddersfield legend Frank Worthington when we played Newcastle a couple of years ago. He was just as stylish as he was passionate about

Happy 47th birthday to
@htafc
great Marcus Stewart who'd have got us to the Premier League back in 2000 had we not sold him to
@IpswichTown
who did go up thanks to his goals.
Happy 51st birthday to Phil Starbuck - one of the most skilful forwards I've seen in a Huddersfield Town shirt (seen here helping us hammer West Brom 3-0)

The Huddersfield Examiner’s proud tradition of having a dedicated reporter following

The funeral takes place today of Huddersfield great Les Massie who has died at the age of 85. The Aberdeen-born striker, who scored 108 Town goals, many alongside Denis Law, died with dementia. His family have asked that donations be made to Alzheimer’s Society in his memory.
Judging by these reports about banning referees from taking charge of their games, Nottingham Forest will only be happy when Jon Moss comes out of retirement
#Karma
Happy 70th birthday to
@htafc
legend Keith Hanvey who helped the Terriers achieve great things on and off the field. He helped Town to two promotions before setting in motion the move from Leeds Road to our brilliant new ground
#htafc
Having just seen Town play Bristol City and Leeds I’d say we’ve faced best two sides in the Championship.
If they hold their nerve then promotion awaits them and I’ve seen enough to know we’ll stay up under

'They won't fall short this season.'
Huddersfield Town boss Danny Cowley says Marcelo Bielsa has his Leeds United side under a remote control.
Preparing for this game was a 'learning curve.'

Happy 65th birthday to

legend Dave Cowling who’ll always have a special place in Terriers’ hearts thanks to his many heroics including the goal that got us promoted against

Time for a bit of nostalgia because today’s the anniversary of one of the most memorable derbies in

Calling all
@htafcdotcom
fans - ahead of the first ever St Dean's Day on May 29, to mark our play-off final win, I reckon it's time to reflect on a momentous year by posting our favourite

photos. Here are my starters for 10:

Not usually one to blow my own trumpet but yesterday was momentous for me because I completed my journey from the pebbled-dashed hell that I called home on the Walpole Road council estate to

If
@htafcdotcom
fans are looking for a Championship team to support in 2018 then they should get behind

because they play great stuff and because ex-Terrier Jamie Paterson was rooting for the Terriers last season

Happy 64th birthday to
@htafc
legend Dave Cowling who will always have a special place in Terriers’ hearts thanks to moments like this at Leeds Road against
@NewportCounty
Powerful stuff on

great Frank Worthington and his journey with dementia from his former Bolton colleague Peter Reid in today’s Daily Mail

We should count ourselves lucky that we’ve got newspapers like
