dunsbyowl Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Sold to Sunderland for £6,000 but Wednesday wanted him to go to Preston for £6,500 - these articles made me laugh - imagine the meltdown today? Obviously Taylor learnt his lesson when Ron Springett came along! Nice hooped Wednesday shirt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, my dad was always telling me what a great player he was. Wasn't he the one who used to have a couple of pints in the dressing room beforehand and at half time because he said it helped him play better?

Buxtongent Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Hi, Claw, who's upset you today? Does it REALLY matter? In my 60 years of watching The Owls, I've heard them referred to as The Wednesday, Sheffield Wednesday, Wednesday, and some names that are unprintable. We know who they are. If other people are ignorant , that's their fault. Personally I never refer to them as 'The Wednesday'. To me, although officially they are Sheffield Wednesday, they are invariably known as 'The Owls', or simply 'Wednesday'. I know who I mean, and everyone I speak to seems to know. Even a question on 'Pointless' this last week, -'the only football team to be named after a day of the week' received the answer 'Sheffield Wednesday' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
