ON THIS DAY - 3RD SEPTEMBER
1996
Wrexham 1 Huddersfield Town 2
Only 1,776 people watched on as the Terriers came away from the Racecourse Ground with a win thanks to goals from Andy Payton (pictured) and Rob Edwards that saw them progress to the next round of the League Cup.
Back in 1996, the early League Cup stages were played over two legs and Town were already three goals to the good after the first leg at the Galpharm Stadium thanks to a Marcus Stewart hat-trick.
Town drew Colchester in the next round and again came out as 3-1 winners on aggregate before a 5-1 third round defeat at Premiership side Middlesbrough.
Brian Horton's men went on to finish 20th in what is now the Football League Championship.
