  • Welcome to the fifth episode of the My Town series, where Huddersfield Town fans relive their Town-supporting life and share their defining moments. Hosts Brady Frost and Tom Bradshaw are in high spirits as they discuss Huddersfield's first game of the season and their victory, putting them top of the league.


    In this episode, the lads are joined by Richard Haigh, a lifelong Huddersfield Town fan of 63 years who now resides in the USA. Richard shares his unique perspective on supporting Town from across the pond, recounting his early days in Huddersfield, his first game under floodlights at Leeds Road, and his experiences as an international supporter.


    Richard discusses his favourite managers, including Neil Warnock and Ian Greaves, and his favourite players, such as Ray Wilson and Frank Worthington. He also delves into his first heartbreak as a fan, the relegation from the First Division in the early '70s, and his dream signings, including Erling Haaland and Lewis O'Brien.


    In a heartfelt conversation, Richard reflects on the highs and lows of being a Town fan, sharing stories of his dedication to the club, including travelling from Tuscany to Huddersfield for a match.
