13th May 1967- Division Three, Oldham Athletic 1 Watford 1

We needed to beat Oldham to secure promotion to the Second Division for the first time. Our 1-1 draw coupled with Middlesbrough’s win at home to Peterborough meant Boro needed to win in their home game with Oxford the following Tuesday night to pip us to the second promotion spot. They won 4-1.
