Clean Sheets

Hereford United gets a mention in today's Guardian.

There was a question about teams and clean sheets.

"In the top four divisions in England, no team has done better than Chelsea’s streak in 2005-06.

"There are two instances of teams going longer without conceding at the start of the league season, but they didn’t win every game. 

"Hereford managed seven matches, one of which was a goalless draw, in 1984-85. (They must have been saving all the conceded goals for the League Cup – during that run of clean sheets in the league, they lost 7-5 on aggregate to Oxford in the first round.) 

"Portsmouth managed eight in 1922-23, but two of those of games finished 0-0."
