Shelts was my favourite player of the time, and his goals at Newcastle and Liverpool are without doubt two of the best memories of watching Wednesday over the years. Shelton had the photo of him scoring in front of the Anfield Kop blown up and framed on the wall in his house.

Holton retired after the injury that stopped him playing for Wednesday. He went into the pub business, running the Rising Sun in the centre of Coventry. Remember him serving me in there the night Coventry won the FA Cup in 1987.

Proper Wednesdayite. I had not heard the South Stand ticket story before - thanks for posting. There are some very good obituaries around, including one in The Times today. RIP Joe and condolences to his family and friends.

Only find one picture (quick search) of Jack on promotion day. Difficult to tell for sure if it is the same day - but it was a hot day and he is not wearing a big coat after the game in the photo

If I remember right, we were rumoured to be interested in Beardsley in the early 80's during the Big Jack era. I think it was during his first spell with Vancouver White Caps (or maybe during his Old Trafford days) Can anyone verify ?

Strange, I thought Hutch was outstanding in the first half, passing, tracking, driving forward, hassled and hurried their midfield, made the goal. Became a fairly balanced contest once he went off

Yep they were at it in the 70s

Already mentioned but Ive never heard anyone replicate 'The banana song' or 'Honolulu' "I love you Wednesday" (Can't Take my eyes off you") is my favourite .. Always assumed it is sung elsewhere but cannot remember it.

Heard once outside Kenilworth Road (early 80's) To the Dads Army theme tune "Who do you think you are kidding Sheff U*d you're not fit to wipe my *rse (think the next 2 lines were) We are the boys that will stop your little game We are the boys that remember Boxing Day

Followed By : Bobby Bolder on the REEWF (repeat) Mark Smith on the REEWF (repeat) Andy Mac on the REEWF (repeat) Everybody on the REEWF ..and also while on the cup run ... "We'll have a REEWF at Wembley"

Need to cash in on the threat he can be. I'd really like to see Carlos gamble more on Rhodes.

Kicking towards the Kop in the second half ... you would back them against anybody. They were relentless. It was not the prettiest football in the world, but they had a great bond with the supporters because of the way they gave everything for the badge. Made you proud to be a Wednesdayite. Many good memories

Yep - It works Took quite a while ...but I'm live !

in flight wireless, through UK VPN, into BBC, Radio Sheffield and onto Football Heaven ...listening from 38,000 feet half way across the Atlantic.

Special Day ! North Stand My prediction for weeks in advance was Wednesday would win 4-0.
