Huddersfield Town’s 1986-87 campaign saw the end of Mick Buxton’s reign as Huddersfield Town manager a job he had had for 8 years. Only Clem Stephenson has had a longer reign as manager of the Terriers. He was replaced by Steve Smith in early January 1987 but Town only survived relegation by 3 points which became a sort of precursor to the debacle that the next season’s campaign would bring.
