Imagine the scene: you've just beaten the League and European Champions 5-0 whilst barely breaking a sweat.
Next up is a League Cup tie at home against a second-tier side. Piece of cake, right.
Football is never that simple.
Huddersfield weren't doing too badly in Division One at the time but not many really thought they would beat Chelsea in this tie.
Sure, Chelsea rested a lot of players but that shouldn't take away from a determined Huddersfield outfit.
The winning goal came on 77 minutes, Kenny Irons writing himself into Terriers folklore with a 30 yard effort into the top corner.
A memorable night for Huddersfield Town as they claimed their maiden Unofficial English Championship.
