Coca Cola League Division One
LEEDS UNITED 1-2 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN
Michael Collins has now written his name alongside that of Dave Cowling in the annuls of Town folklore following his 93rd minute winner at Elland Road. A goal that will become as famous as Cowlings of 25 years or so ago being all the more brilliant as Collins wasn't getting a look in under previous manager Stan Ternant - I'm delighted!
Town were behind after only 3 minutes, some lax defending letting in Robert Snodgrass. Town equalised straight from the kick off, Joe Skarz scoring his first goal for us on what was his 50th appearance (a goal all the better for having not a single Leeds player getting a touch in the build up).
Drama was to follow in injury time, when it looked like honours would be even. Danny Cadamarteris run and cross met in acrobatic fashion by Michael Collins who made no mistake - oh happy day!!!

As brilliant as this result is (my sore head today testament to that) I cannot begin to tell you how pleased I am for Michael Collins. It's my belief that if Stan Ternant was still at the helm he would not have played, as Collins was not getting a sniff of first team action under his regime. We probably would have had a thrashing of Peterborough proportions as well to boot, totally justifying Dean Hoyles decision to get rid. What a shame Gerry cannot be persuaded to take the job full time.
