Huddersfield Town Trivia Questions

From Quiz Huddersfield Town FC

Answer: 1908

The RMS Titanic of the British shipping company, White Star Line, sunk in the early hours of 15th April 1912.

They played their first game, a friendly against Bradford Park Avenue on 2nd September 1908 to officially open their Leeds Road ground. Huddersfield of course was famous for being the birthplace of Rugby League in 1895, but now there was an alternative to the rugby. Interestingly, 1908 is always listed as the founding of Huddersfield Town FC, and the club centenary was celebrated as such in 2008, but the club formed as the Huddersfield Association Football Ground co. in 1907. They didn't start playing any games until the launch of Huddersfield Town AFC in 1908. Huddersfield Town entered the Football League in 1910.
