On This Day

December 7th
1957
The start of the decline
There would be no repeat of the previous season's third round glamour, as Jim Dyson is beaten by Stockport's Mike Davock decisive strike in our FA Cup tie. The league form was still looking healthy, with the team lying in third place, but this defeat began an alarming collapse. Pools won just five of the next 26 games to drop to the new Division Four.
