First Memory of Sheff Wed

[Guest Paul Oxley]

Don't know why but i was thinking about my first memory of Sheffield Wednesday the other day, it was the F.A. cup semi final v Brighton in 83! typical of Wednesday we should have won the game but lost to a cracker of a free kick by Jimmy Case, i ran up stairs and hid under the bed at the final whistle i was 9 years old and gutted...........

The old club shop by the Kop bizarrely,

used to have to queue to for an age to get in.

My Dad was bouncing me up and down on his knee, and I wasn't sure whether he was laughing or crying.

It was 1966, I was 3 years old. Until very recently I had always believed that this was England winning the world cup, but it came up in a conversation recently when I was looking at some old photo's with my mum, and she said it was Wednesday v Everton in the FA cup final. She says we were on holiday in Blackpool when we won the world cup.

The next season I went to see Wed 1 - 1 Rotherham at Hillsborough I think.....and fell asleep during the second half......very hazy memories of shiny blue paint, the smell of deep heat and cigars.......Wednesday in their blue shirts with white sleeves.

1986 FA cup semi against Everton at Villa pk. I was only 10 and went with me Dad. il never forget his face when we scored.

On the way home, everybody on the coach gave me 20p if i pulled a "mooney" at some Evertonians.

[Tea Baggins]

An away game, spur of the moment.

parents took me to Man City away.

Stood in the old Kippax it was 9 quid (no consessions) my dad moaned like flip!!

We won 3-1 I think and i'm sure Ryan Jones got one. (great player, shame he had such bad luck)

Can't be sure of the year but it was xmas time as we were singing "jingle bells"

My first game was 1985/86 season and AughtonOwl (my brother) told me about the tunnel you walked through to get on the Kop.

Can't remember anything about the game, another memory was being allowed to run along the bottom of the Kop when we got a penalty to celebrate.

[barmyowl1212]

First ever game i went to was Charlton in 1998 we won 3-0.

First memory was watching them on Sky and we lost 4-2 to Middlesborough. Signal kept going so didnt see much of it.

OR

It was when we got beat 2-0 By Newcastle in Asprilla first game.

1975 v Cardiff. Stood on the Leppings Lane end, probably in the Triangle with my dad and my grandad.

My brother fell asleep against one of the barriers.

We lost.

Seem to remember Eric Potts hair though as well!

When we played Man Ure and Hillsborough back when Beckham was just getting noticed for them... I think we won that one quite comfortably aswell... was quite long ago so I'm probably wrong, but I seem to think is was 3-1 to us? Smeichle was poo witch goal kicks that day, half went out for a throw in.

That was the game Ferguson threw a chair at Stam or something.

I gave up my ticket for our Lee that game!

Standing on the crows nest with my dad.

1981 i think.

Cant remember who we were playing.

But remember seeing the north stand errupt when we scored and i was hooked for life.

My older brother Paul had been going to Hilsboro for a few months and took me in about January 1980 and we beat Rotherham 5-0 (I think!)

I remember thinking that this normal and would be the score every week. How wrong I was!!!!!!!!!!!

1956 (I think) versus Lincoln City at Hillsborough. Can't remember anything about the game itself, although I think we won 5 - 2. What I do remember was the biggest crowd of people I'd ever seen, and (as they used to do in those days) being passed down to the front of the Kop, over everybody's heads, then after the game getting taken home on my uncles shoulders.

The start of a long, and (more often than not) turbulent, love affair with the Owls.

1983 I was 8. A 1-1 draw against Shrewsbury. Steve Ogrizovicz and Nigel Pearson (I think) played for them. Imre Varadi scored for us - again I think my memory plays tricks at my age...!
