for the club that year, becoming manager in May 1929 taking over from Jack Chaplin. Career statistics Management career Stephenson went on to become Huddersfield's longest-serving manager from 27 May 1929 until 8 June 1942 overseeing club records: The record 10–1 victory over Blackpool in December 1930 at Leeds Road. The record attendance at Leeds Road 67,037 attended in the FA Cup quarter-final versus a Herbert Chapman led Arsenal. But his League and Cup exploits were fraught with irony leading Huddersfield to second place in 1933–34 losing to Arsenal by 3 points in the season Herbert Chapman died, and reaching two FA Cup Finals and losing both: the first to a Herbert Chapman led Arsenal and the other to Preston North End in an exact reversal of the 1922 final, and the semi-final to Portsmouth the following year. Huddersfield have never reached the FA Cup semi-final since 1939.
