100 years today!

On 3rd May 100yrs ago city lost the division 1 title by 0.024 of a goal to Huddersfield.... city needed any win against Birmingham and Huddersfield needed to win by 3 goals against forest if City failed towin... we drew 0-0 city record scorer missed penalty on 70mins.... Huddersfield won 3-0 so won the title by smallest margin ever... also was 1st time goal average was used to decide position in league.... if was goal difference like today we would been champions ...

I remember being told that as a youngster by my uncle who introduced me to Cardiff City.Your not a proper fan if you don't know that fact he said. Bless him.

Some people dont realise how remarkable some of clubs achievements have been considering we've never been classes as big!

Its crazy at that time, and it is probably a case of correlation is not causation but South Wales was booming in those days, we were literally Saudi Arabia of the post-Edwardian world.

The best coal in the world, being dug and exported in the biggest (by tonnage) port in the world, we were at certain levels a very rich area.

We suffered in the post-wall street crash depression and never really recovered as a club and region. Has anyone read any theories on our short-lived dominance to almost extinction?

We would both be plus 27GD. using today's method, but we scored one more goal than them, also if it was 3 points a win then Huddersfield would have had 80 points and us 79 points.

I will hold my hands up on this one - It was news to me when the BBC - Rob Phillips talked about it yesterday .
This seems to have got hidden behind the 1927 glory
