Formed in 1908, Huddersfield Town has one of the proudest histories of any club in English football.
Recognised as one of the most successful English clubs of all time, we were the first to win the English League title three times in a row in 1924, 1925 and 1926. This is a feat that has only been repeated by three other teams; Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool.
The Club embarked upon a ‘New Era’ when Dean Hoyle became Chairman in 2009. The Yorkshire Club formed 100 innovative partnerships with local, national and international businesses like Pure Legal Limited, Radian B and Covonia just to name a few. Our unique collaboration with the charity the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, has raised in excess of £1.5 million since its inception in 2009.
During the ‘New Era’, Huddersfield Town has been nominated for an impressive nine accolades at the Football League Awards, scooping the titles of ‘Family Club of the Year’ and ‘Best Matchday Programme’ as well as being highly commended in the Marketing and Community categories.
The Football League Independent Supporters Survey has also ranked Huddersfield Town as first out of all 72 Clubs at communication with supporters, attracting new fans and creating a matchday experience.
Simply, our history serves as an inspiration for our future as we build a Club that our supporters can be proud of.
