Coming into their match at Aldershot on March 5, 1987, York City had not won an away match since early the previous year on September 13, 1986, when they won 3-2 at Port Vale, a total of 38 matches and managing only to draw six of those. They won the game 2-1 with goals from Ian Helliwell and Derek Hood. They went on and won three out of their five next away matches before the end of the season. It had been a terrible season with Bobby Saxton in charge, and statistically, it was the worst since becoming a Football League club in 1929. They had fewest wins (8), and the most defeats (29) and accumulated only 33 points, but amazingly they did not finish bottom of the League with Doncaster Rovers having an identical record but an inferior goal difference. They were relegated back into Division Four. www.tooab.com
