HERO SCHINDLER SPELLS OUT WHAT’S NEEDED BY TOWN TO WIN SURVIVAL BATTLE

-

connection between the people of Huddersfie­ld and their football club.

Since that great summer of 2012, Jim and I have remained friends, and the common bond we will always share is Huddersfie­ld Town.

Getting back to the United States after that summer, I took a teaching job at a college in my hometown. Along with teaching, I’m also the announcer for the men’s and women’s football teams.

In 2015, I learned that one of my students, Abbie Wilkinson, was from Huddersfie­ld.

Over the next two years, I got to know Abbie well, and I even got to meet her parents, Jeremy and Fiona.

It was from these three that I received my very first Huddersfie­ld Town jersey and a David Wagner hat. Mere objects, but I will cherish the sentiment behind these gifts forever.

Now, not only do the people of Huddersfie­ld make me love the football club, but the play on the pitch is impressive too!

I love David Wagner and the expertise and intensity that he exudes. I feel under him, we can achieve anything!

And, for me, I love watching Aaron Mooy fighting and playing his guts out every single match.

But the best feeling I get when watching matches here in the US is hearing the crowd at John Smith’s Stadium chanting and cheering. My dream is to be a part of that crowd one day.

The people from Huddersfie­ld whom I’ve met have welcomed me into the fold with open arms.

The history, pride and passion of the club is what initially intrigued me, but it’s the bright future ahead that excites me the most!

Up the Town!
