Dronfield Blue Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 26th April 1958 Final match of the season. Wednesday played Wolves at Hillsborough, won 2-1, Wolves were Champions (division 1) Wednesday finished bottom and were relegated! They went back up the following year though as champions, I remember celebrating with a Farleys rusk and half a lager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictoryBell Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 1st Sept 1954 the day after my birth Lost 2-0 at Man Utd. Best match I've ever seen on my birthday August 31st 1968 when we beat Man Utd 5-4 at Hillsborough. Correction - almost certainly the best match that anyone has ever seen - simply amazing. But we can't prove it as there were no moving image cameras there. Do you remember the programme for the next home match having a huge section of quotes from the national press? I remember a couple "a match so good as to to defy description" and the hilarious one about everyone saying it was the best game ever played including "all the old pros that I spoke to" (now they don't have entertainment in the ground like that any more!) I've still got the press cuttings in the loft (it's the only league game I ever bothered to take newspaper cuttings from). Ho hum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictoryBell Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Same age, same season! 1st December 1956: beat Villa at home, 2-1; old Div. 1, 17th with 16 points (2 for a win in the olden days...). And you were born same week as me, except I'm at least one day older or you, too, would have been scarred by the 1-0 defeat away to Everton the prtevious Saturday. We'll be dead soon. You know that? Oh. dear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king of kings Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) You missed the thread the other day about Famous Wednesday Fans. It devolved into a discussion about Hindehouse school. Quite a few on here went to Hindhouse - didn't you go there? I thought you did? Anyway, the Chief Commissioner of the Metroplitan Police - Bernard Hogan Howe, is a Wednesday fan - he went Hindehouse School 11 - 18. He was called Bernard Hogan, then. Nobody remembers him? He was born in 1957 -I said that you were a bit older Edited April 16, 2012 by king of kings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
