Huddersfield Town have had somewhat of a monumental rise in recent years, spending much of the 21st century in the third tier of English football but the Premier League dream became a reality in 2017.

Under the guidance of David Wagner, the Terriers reached the top flight for the first time since 1972 and almost as miraculous was the fact they survived their first season without being relegated.

It wasn't destined to last forever though and the Yorkshire outfit now reside back in the Championship under another overseas head coach in the form of Carlos Corberan, finishing in 20th position for the 2020/21 campaign.

There's been a real youthful look to Huddersfield's team at times this season, with the odd dash of experience thrown in there and some of the inexperience may be why they finished as low down in the table as they did.

You can't beat having a couple of players near the end of their career though to galvanise a team - let's look at the 10 oldest players to ever score in a Huddersfield shirt.

Page is now probably best known for being the manager of Wales and he will lead Cymru into the European Championships this summer, but in his playing days he was a hard-nosed centre-back.

He spent most of his early career at Watford, playing 215 times for them in the league and after spells at Sheffield United, Cardiff and Coventry he signed for Huddersfield - a League One team at the time - in 2008.

Page only spent a few months with the Terriers but played 18 times, scoring his only goal at the age of 33 years, nine months and five days in a 2-1 away defeat to Carlisle United.

The only current Terrier to make it into this list, Campbell is one of the few elder statesmen of the group now that the likes of Richard Stearman have been released.

After plying his trade in the Premier League and Championship for all of his career, Campbell swapped Hull City for Huddersfield in 2019, bringing a bit of experience up top for the club.

Campbell was able to better his three-goal haul in his debut season by scoring seven Championship goals in the season just gone, his final strike coming at the age of 33 years, five months and 17 days when he netted in a 1-1 draw with Birmingham City in March.

You'd expect Campbell to push himself higher up the list next season as he gets a bit older and hopefully scores a few more goals but you'd also expect him to have a bit more striking competition.

Speaking of experienced strikers, Holt has had a much-travelled career which has seen him go from the Cumbrian coast of Workington to all the way over to Singapore - although we all know his best years were with Norwich City.

Holt ended up swapping the Canaries for Wigan in 2013 and a year later he was out of favour, so he was sent to Huddersfield on an emergency loan.

The burly striker scored twice in 15 appearances for the Terriers, the second coming at the age of 33 years, six months and 20 days in a comfortable 3-0 home win over Nottingham Forest - injury not long after though would mean the deal was not extended beyond the original three months.

After being a reliable defender for the likes of Crystal Palace and Cardiff, Hudson joined Huddersfield in 2014 for the final few years of his career.

Hudson's influence was soon apparent as he was named captain just months after he put pen-to-paper with the club, and when he was fit he was a regular at the back in the three seasons he spent with the Terriers.

A hamstring injury though cut his 2016/17 campaign short, just as he'd formed a great partnership with Christopher Schindler and he retired following the club's promotion to the Premier League - his final goal coming at the age of 33 years, 11 months and 18 days in a March 2016 drubbing of Leeds United at Elland Road.

A very experienced top flight player in his prime, Kilbane was still going into his mid 30's but whilst at Hull City in 2010 he found himself not needed, so headed to Huddersfield in January for the rest of the 2010/11 campaign.

It was the first time Kilbane had played in the third tier of English football since he was a youngster at Preston North End in 1997 but even with his advancing years he found himself as an influential figure in the Terriers' play-off campaign.

The Ireland international played 24 times, scoring twice and the second of those came at the age of 34 years, three months and 12 days - it came at a crucial time as well in a play-off semi-final second leg against Bournemouth which Huddersfield won on penalties, but of course lost the final to Peterborough at Old Trafford.

Another player around the same age as Kilbane who was in Huddersfield's squad at the same time was Alan Lee, who joined in 2010 having had prolific stints at Rotherham and Ipswich earlier in his career.

Lee went scoreless in his first season with the club but managed to find the back of the net seven times the following campaign, forming a partnership with the much more free-scoring Jordan Rhodes whilst Lee did a lot of the holding up.

He scored just once in his final season with the club, and it came at the age of 34 years, six months and 12 days in a 2-1 home success over Middlesbrough - it would be his final goal in professional football as he retired not long after.

McIntosh was a former team-mate of the aforementioned Lee at Rotherham in the early 2000's, but they played for the Terriers at different times after he joined them in 2005 from the Millers.

The Scot had a tough start to life at the John Smith's Stadium after suffering a knee injury, but then made 26 League One appearances after his recovery - his last of four goals came for the Terriers in March 2006 at the age of 34 years, 11 months and 13 days in a 2-2 draw with Doncaster Rovers.

McIntosh wouldn't find much more success at the club as he was loaned to Grimsby at the beginning of the following season - he was released at the end of the 2006/07 campaign.

The very versatile Edwards played for two clubs prominently in his career - firstly Crewe Alexandra before moving on to Huddersfield in 1996 after 155 appearances for the Railwaymen.

After four years at the Terriers, Edwards moved to Chesterfield but he would return to Huddersfield in 2003 for two more years - he scored twice in his final season with the club and the second goal came late on in the campaign in April 2005.

It was at the age of 35 years, two months and seven days when Edwards scored for the final time in a 4-0 win against Swindon Town - he would head into non-league with local outfit Ossett United after departing the Terriers.

When you talk about real Huddersfield Town icons, Booth has got to be up there with one of the best.

He was a prolific scorer in his early years for the Terriers and he secured himself a big-money move to Sheffield Wednesday of the Premier League in 1996, but he couldn't hit the same kind of heights as he did at Huddersfield - albeit this was in the top flight.

Booth returned 'home' in 2001 and he ended up adding another 270 league appearances and 85 goals to the 123 outings and 52 strikes from his first stint - he experienced some real lows as he was part of the side relegated to League Two in 2003 but his goals helped fire them back into the third tier at the first time of asking.

By the time he retired in 2009, Booth had already had a testimonial and he finished as the third-highest scorer in Huddersfield history - his last one coming at the age of 35 years, four months and 26 days in a 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient.

Like Booth, Onuora started his career at Huddersfield albeit a few years earlier, scoring 30 times in 165 appearances between 1989 and 1994.

Onuora then transferred between plenty of clubs but he returned to the Terriers ever so briefly in the 2003/04 season, joining in March towards the end of the campaign and he scored his only goal for the club in his second stint at an important time.

At the age of 36 years, nine months and 17 days, Onuora headed home in the first leg of a League Two play-off semi-final in May 2004 against Lincoln City - they won that match 2-1 and ended up getting to the final, where they defeated Mansfield but Onuora didn't get onto the pitch.
