Anyone remember the old Sheffield Wednesday shop ?

Blimey 

Some classic old contributors in the 2012 thread 

Where’ve they all gone ?

They can’t all have changed their usernames ?

Or have they ?

This photo of the shop staff is from the programme v Blackpool, Wednesday the 28th February 1973. We won 2-0 with goals from Brian Joicey and Tommy Craig.

 

Thanks for this, corrected me on Joan's name in a different thread.....  i'd said June,  bad memory, but close for a fair few years ago.

I had a proper crush on the girl that worked there in the early eighties. Her name was Tracy, i think. Anyone remember her?

Tracey Downing, went to Hillsborough school, she was lovely.

This is me and my brother (flanked by our Man Utd-supporting associates) outside the Owls Shop on our first trip to Hillsborough in the autumn of 1991 ... it was the 3-2 Jemson game, so not a bad first visit.

 

The five of us made up a hooligan firm that was feared up and down the land at the time.

That’s the shop as I remember it. It used to be carnage in there after a match, trying to get served for ages.

I used to get my stuff from the kiosk opposite the ABC cinema (Angel St)

Morning mate. It's great that @tommypolyfilla saw the pic and recognised his family who have contributed so much to Wednesday over the years. During lockdown I've been going through old programmes and fanzines  looking for articles that may be interesting and prompt a few memories for Wednesday fans.

Thought this interesting,it's the advert for the shop in the programme's season  82-83.

Comprehensive that list. Some  puzzling items  what are Dusty Bins and pouffs must be substantial as can't post.

Evening mate. Perhaps there's someone on Owlstalk that bought a dusty bin or a pouff could help us out here. Looks like a car boot sale to me,that said I've spent a fair bit of time in the Wednesday shops over the years.

Does seem a bit random, makes the current shop look threadbare.

Dusty Bin was a character in the form of a motorised dust bin on the popular Saturday night quiz show, 3-2-1.
I think if the “winners” failed in the final round they got the booby prize, a dusty bin.

 

I guess a blue and white cuddly toy version must have been made.

Seems about right to me does that mate.
