Ronnie JEPSON - Huddersfield Town - League Appearances

Ronnie Jepson is pictured playing for Huddersfield Town against Grimsby Town.


95 League Appearances  (+ 12 as sub), 36 goals.


In December 1993, Huddersfield Town manager Neil Warnock paid Exeter £70,000 for Jepson.
He formed a successful strike partnership with Andy Booth at Leeds Road and scored five goals

in 23 games throughout the remainder of the 1993/94 season, including a hat-trick past

York City on 22 January.


The pair helped the "Terriers" to gain promotion in 1994–95, beating Bristol Rovers 2–1 in the

play-off Final at Wembley, with Jepson crossing the ball to Booth for the opening goal of the game.

That season he made 54 appearances, scoring 23 goals, whilst Booth scored 30 goals. For his

efforts Jepson was voted the club's Player of the Year.


He scored 14 goals in 48 appearances under new manager Brian Horton in 1995–96, after which

Booth was sold to Sheffield Wednesday for £2.7 million. "Rocket Ronnie", as Jepson was called

by the Huddersfield fans, left Huddersfield for Bury in the summer of 1996.
