OWLERTON GHOST Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 2 hours ago, Russy said: https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2017/july/dream-scene-megson-makes-the-squad/ The next player in the Sheffield Wednesday Dream Scene is legendary left-back Don Megson. During a 17-year career at Hillsborough, he made 442 appearances, scoring seven goals. Don was a key part of the Owls side that finished Division One runners-up in 1961 and he captained Wednesday to the FA Cup final in 1966. Although his side were defeated 3-2 by Everton at Wembley, Don became the first captain to lead a losing team on a lap of honour at the national stadium. He becomes the latest player to join the iconic dressing room which Australian artist Jamie Cooper has been working on down under to celebrate the Owls’ 150th year. CLICK HERE to see Jamie's behind the scenes blog. The next player in the Sheffield Wednesday Dream Scene will be announced in one week! Check out a very youthful Howard Wilkinson on photo with Mr Megson (Twiter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 If you read the original press releases, I think it can be construed that there might be more than 11 players in the finished painting? And looking at the artists other works, there could be trophies; mascots, managers and other people or things associated with the history of Wednesday, included in it too. If so, then there could yet still be a place for the likes of Waddle; Hirst, Sterland, Dooley, Crawshaw, Rimmer and Robinson, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I remember nothing about the sixties, but my father always raved about Springett, Don Megson, Swann and Bronco Layne. I'm pretty sure if my father was still here he would have approved, so I'm happy with this selection. I hope Waddle is next, although I think it's more likely to be Dooley. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad was proper pi55ed about DD getting the sack on Christmas Eve, was also let down by the betting scandal.

You're not much younger than me, Hoots, so I'm surprised you don't remember Springett and Megson........Megson particularly as he played until 1969. Don Megson was our Beckenbauer, how he never played for England beggars belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'm not sure about Dooley to be honest, especially with him having a statue at the stain. He only played 60ish games, yes he scored 60 odd goals, but ......this might sound mean spirited, especially with him tragically losing a leg, but I think there are more deserving cases.

Although I think there's a risk the club could be a little spiteful in regards to the latter. Tommy Crawshaw is on it - nobody mentions him but he won four trophies while with us and captained England. Our number one legend in my eyes.

Whitechapel Owl Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 So that's 9 we've had, do we know how many there will be? I thought it was 10 but I might be thinking that because the club asked us to nominate our top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clud17 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 really it should be at least 13-14 players to include a few subs and then a manger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine what the pigs scene would look like- Tony Currie and errr errr Alan Cork? On their one there would only be room for a couple of players because Fatty Foulke and Porky Kenny would take up the majority of the space on the painting Edited July 25, 2017 by Mr. Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our number one legend in my eyes. Quite a few of us have mentioned him along with the likes of Ellis Rimmer. I think there will be more than 11 players on the finished painting. Looking at the artists other works, he fits in trophies; managers, mascots and other significant things into some of his dream scenes. Even team images or famous scenes in the backgrounds too. Plus, I think the earliest press releases mentioned there being more than 11. If so, I would think Waddle or Hirst will still feature along with the likes of Crawshaw; Rimmer, Jackie Robinson, Dooley or Clegg, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
