The 1960–61 season was Colchester United's third successive season in the Football League Third Division and their eleventh consecutive season in the third tier. The season ended in with the club's first ever relegation to the Football League Fourth Division ==Season Review== The 1960/1 season proved disastrous. Average attendances plummeted from 7,810 to 4,954 as United lost ten home games finishing in 23rd position and suffering relegation to the Fourth Division. Obtaining just one point from eleven games, including seven straight defeats, the U's hit rock bottom in October 1960 and they never managed to climb out of the bottom four. Remarkably, Martyn King still managed to notch 25 League goals including a hat-trick against Chesterfield in the final game of the season that attracted a new all-time low attendance of just 3,141. United also conceded 101 League goals - the only time that this landmark has been suffered. Colchester did enjoy some early season success when in the inaugural League Cup competition they comprehensively defeated First Division Newcastle 4-1 at Layer Road in front of 9,130 before bowing out to Southampton in Round Two. But, at the end of the season, manager Benny Fenton wielded his relegation axe and the club were, alarmingly, over £3,300 in the red. Out went ten players including Neil Langman, Chic Milligan and Tommy Williams.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The U's History: The 60s )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1960–61 Colchester United F.C. season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
