The 1962–63 season was Colchester United's first season back in the Football League Third Division after a single year in the Football League Fourth Division following United's first promotion within the football league.
Season Review
Despite still being £2,000 in the red, United were not about to sell their prize asset Bobby Hunt when Newcastle came in with a £17,000 offer (about £580,000 today based on the average earnings index).
Colchester made their debut in the new Anglia Television football programme "Match of the Week" when highlights were shown of the October 13th 1962 Layer Road defeat to Crystal Palace. Once again, Martyn King led the League scoring charts with 26 goals while Bobby Hunt scored 19. A leaky defence, U's conceded 93 goals, meant that mid-table was the best U's could hope for. They were also unceremoniously dumped out of the FA Cup by Isthmian League Wimbledon.
