PAFC BY DATE Today: 26 April Select a new date ... ON THIS DAY 1947: Argyle 0 Birmingham 2; the first of a club record nine successive defeats (the last six games of that season and the first three of the next). It was the first season after the war, which had decimated the club and its facilities, but 'Resurgam': five years later ... 1952: Argyle 2 Torquay 2, the last home game of a magnificent season, in which Argyle equalled the 107 goal record set by the 1925-26 side. This game was a typical anti-climax after promotion was secured three days earlier, but the result didn't matter. Over 28,000 packed Home Park to see Jack Chisholm lift the championship trophy, captain of what some would say was the greatest ever Argyle side: Shortt, Ratcliffe, Jones, Dougall, Chisholm, Porteous, Astall, Rattray, Tadman, Dews and Govan. 1954: Stoke City 3 Argyle 2, 'Jumbo' Jack Chisholm's 188th and final game after five years at the club. By all accounts, he wasn't the most agile, he lacked speed, his ball control could have been better, he rarely left his penalty area - such was his fitness level - and from a medical point of view he should never have stepped on the pitch. Yet few have inspired as he did, an Argyle legend still remembered with great affection at Home Park today. BORN THIS DAY 1914: Ron Ferrier (1 game, no goals in 1945) 1920: Pat McKenna (1 game, no goals in 1953) 1944: Ernie Machin (70 games, 7 goals from 1972 to 1974) 2002: Luke Cundle (27 games, 5 goals from 2023 to 2024) MATCH RECORD 19 games played (norm: 18) 42% of games won (norm: 39%)
