season of football team
Huddersfield Town's 1927–28 campaign was the last season of Town's true dominance of English football.

Review
Town had just one season after relinquishing their championship title, but they were still a formidable force in the 1st Division. This was proven by their record 8–2 win over Cardiff City in October and the 7–1 win over Sheffield United in November. George Brown still continued his goalscoring exploits by scoring 35 goals during the season, including 27 in the league. They were still in the hunt for the title until late April. They needed to win their last 3 games to have a realistic chance of reclaiming their title, but defeats to Sheffield United and Aston Villa made the win over Portsmouth irrelevant.
