Anyone noticed teams with wierd or random Rival Teams. I'm Huddersfield Town and we seem to have Charlton Athletic as a rival . . . rather blagged i am!
Well it's like that in the database, so the Huddersfield researcher must have a reason for putting it in there. There are strange ones IRL - Gills have Swindon as a rival, simply because there was a bit of beef when we played them in the play-off semi finals back in 1988/89.
5-1 down with half an hour to go, having played most of the match with 10 men, they won 7-6. Second Division, The Valley, 21 December 1957
Huddersfield manager Bill Shankly watched in horror as Charlton's hero of the hour - dashing left-winger Johnny Summers (pictured) - engineered the most remarkable comeback in football history, scoring five and just for good measure setting-up the other two. From being four down, Summers's goals - including a six-minute hat-trick - gave Charlton a 6-5 lead with two minutes left. Huddersfield promptly equalised, only for Summers to lay on the winner for John Ryan, who scored with the final kick of the game. 'Amazing, incredible, fantastic...' as one reporter put it at the time. Summers later revealed that he changed his boots at half-time after his old pair had started falling apart.
i bet that took some finding out!! must admit ive never seen any really random ones... and i know its been mentioned before, but it would be nice if the rival clubs could update in the future, as clubs progress or not as the case may be...
