wickersleyowl Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Was having the conversation on our way out of exeter and this morning in the office with the only other owl. Being born in 1992, i was around for the 93' cup run, missed out on 91 obviously, but as i dont really remember the likes of Hirst, Waddle, Sheridan. My point was as a teenager watching wednesday now, we've not had in the 15 years ive been going, anyone to call a legend of our own, like the waddle's sheridans that my dad, uncle all worshipped. Weve had Whelan, Brunt who were on there day excellent for us, and obviously Bullen and mclean stick out in the only success ive been old enough to remember at cardiff in 05' Thought i would just share the thought... discuss...

Guest Fedor Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Unfortunately unless we get a billionaire benefactor we will struggle to see the likes again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgileBeastt Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Same mate, born in 91. Missed out big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Born in '92, been going since 2000. It's been one poo poo season after another, but I know we can be great again. And when that happens it will feel all the better for having stood by Wednesday through it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAL Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I've seen us win every cup Think you might want to re-phrase that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross owl Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I was born in 69 so when I first started supporting Wednesday we were worse than we are now . We have always gone in 10 year cycles . 10 of rubbish 10 rebuilding and 10 of being the dogs . We are on our rebuilding again so you may have missed the 90's but you will see us back on top :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

31Dec1966 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The word legend is way overused. Waddle, Hirst, Sheridan, Nilsson, Ian Mellor, Terry Curran, Jack Charlton, Springett, Fantham, Dooley. Legends in my eyes for different reasons. None since but Paul Sturrock could stake a claim.

PeteG_1984 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I'm a little bit older (8 years to be exact) so can remember the very good times (just) and the following years as Premiership regulars very well. I sometimes wish I'd always known Wednesday to be sh!t then wouldn't be as disappointed when we lose to the likes of Exeter. But it looks like the younger fans still feel the same pain, probably because of everybody else banging on about the likes of Hirsty, Waddle, Shez etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sal1 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I understand the Ian Mellor logic but therefore you'd have to include Jack Whitham.... pivotal in simply the greatest game of football I ever saw in the flesh. I mean ManU were European champions and Best, Law, Charlton etc were still at their peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dooogs Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Born in 97? Crikey, I feel old... I was born in 75 so I started paying attention to football in the mid 80s - just the right time to see a couple of near-legends (Chapman, Sterland) go and a whole stack of them (Hirsty, Sheridan, Palmer, Nilsson then Waddle) arrive... I'm still not sure that anyone since Waddle would count as an all-time legend (much as I love the likes of Bullen and Pressman, I don't think Owls will be talking about them in 50 years time)...

brian joicey Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 what constitutes a legend? to me it's someone who represents my club with passion,skill,endeavour,honesty etc .. over a period of time (ie/ not a flash in the pan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
