Huddersfield Town's 1928-29 campaign was a season that saw Town fall from grace, finishing down in 16th place, a far cry from their top 2 finishes in the past 5 seasons. They did manage to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup, but it didn't stop Jack Chaplin losing his job at the end of the season.

[edit] Review

The Terriers seemed to be on top of the world during the last 5 seasons of league football. After winning the title for 3 seasons in a row and finishing 2nd the next 2 seasons, some were wondering what would happen during this season. Unfortunately, they shouldn't have asked. The only good points of the season came from 3 of the 14 league wins, 6-1 victories over Yorkshire rivals Leeds United and Sheffield United and a 7-1 win over Pennine rivals Burnley. They also reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, before losing to Bolton Wanderers at Anfield.
