The1959–60 season wasColchester United's 18th season in their history and their tenth season in the third tier ofEnglish football, theThird Division. Alongside competing in the Third Division, the club also participated in theFA Cup, with Colchester being knocked out by league rivalsQueens Park Rangers in the first round. Colchester ended the season in ninth place in the Third Division.

Season overview

[edit]

Colchester's first game under floodlights atLayer Road was on 24 August 1959 when 9,689 watched the 2–2 draw withGrimsby Town. The ground became somewhat of a fortress, losing only twice throughout the campaign. However, Colchester struggled on their travels, earning just three wins. The mixed form led to a ninth position finish in the Third Division table.

The most notable bonus for the season wasMartyn King's completion ofnational service meaning he was available for every game. Playing in 40 matches,forward King equalledKevin McCurley's club record of 30Football League goals in a season which included a trio ofhat-tricks.[5]
