So that's the first time we've won 6 top flight matches in a row since before WW2 broke out?!

When was the last time we won 7 top flight matches in a row? :cheers:

 

 

After losing to Queen's Park in February 1933, we went 30 unbeaten in the league into the next season, including 10 straight wins so we've a bit to go yet.

In my time our best league run was when Davie Hay was the manager in the first Division. We lost our first game away at Killie (2 - 0), and then had a sequence of 20 unbeaten:

 

Motherwell 	1-0 	Queens Park
Motherwell 	2-2 	Hamilton Academical 	
St Johnstone 	1-3 	Motherwell
Motherwell 	3-2 	Falkirk
Dumbarton 	0-6 	Motherwell
Motherwell 	3-0 	Raith Rovers
Dunfermline     1-2 	Motherwell
Motherwell 	3-0 	East Stirlingshire
Motherwell 	1-1 	Ayr United
Clydebank[4] 	1-7 	Motherwell
Motherwell 	2-2 	Heart Of Midlothian
QoS 	        0-2 	Motherwell
Queens Park 	0-1 	Motherwell
Motherwell 	2-0 	Kilmarnock
Falkirk 	1-1 	Motherwell
Motherwell 	6-1 	Dunfermline Athletic
East Stirling 	0-6 	Motherwell 	
Motherwell 	3-1 	Clydebank[4]
Hearts  	0-3 	Motherwell
Motherwell 	2-1 	Queen of the South

 

(before finally losing a derby match to Accies, 1 - 0)

 

Was quite a season, that one.

92 in the league, 4 in the League Cup, 0 in the Scottish Cup thanks to the early exit at the hands of Aberdeen.

 

All the details are here.

 

I think Brian McLaughlin and Willie Irvine were fighting out for top scorer and Willie nicked it with his goal against Hearts last game of the season (which also meant Killie went up with us instead of the Jambos).

I think it's the only time being a Well fan, that I actually thought "how many are we gonna win by this week?"

Happy Days...

It almost (but not quite) became boring running in massive amounts of goals on a weekly basis. The 7 - 1 at Clydebank was ridiculous, as they were one of the top 1st Division teams at the time.

 

Was definitely one of my favourite seasons as a 'Well fan. Think I made it to very away ground too.

Is there any season we scored 100 goals? I seem to recal that we did one time. maybe in Johnny Golthorpe era?
