Memories of Matthew Hamshaw...


Recommended Posts

A couple of memories of Matty Hamshaw.

Obviously THAT goal against Watford. One of the best I've seen from a Wednesday player. The celebration was quality too.

The other was I think the Forest game at home when he did his knee in. He had just got over a few little injuries and got a run of games going. He was tearing Forest a new one. I thought we were finally seeing the player who was so highly rated. He was class that day. Then he did his knee badly and never really recovered after that.

Good player Hamshaw but I think the number of injuries he had and a couple of real bad ones has meant that he's never really achieved what his ability could have IMO.

Quality player with a lot of ability but injuries robbed him of all his pace. Denver the goal against Watford. Also a free kick in front of kop where he whiped the ball aroun the wall and just inside the post. Not sure who it was against though

Derby? The game when Lee Morris scored twice for them and knocked himself out in the process of the second.

Like a lot of promising youngsters we've had, he failed to make the next step up.

But then again, we love an underachiever at Hillsborough don't we?

harsh imo he had injury problems that really stopped his career when it was just getting momentum.

He did well to even recover from the injuries he had, they took 2 years of his career away.

I remember people on here at the time saying he was finished, so all credit to him for having a career as decent as he's had.

First time I've seen him was on eurosport playing for England U-16's against Sweden U-16's. Frazier Richardson, Stuart Parnaby, Leon Knight and Rory Fallon played as well, but Matty was by absolute mile the best player on the field. He played as right forward in what was 4-3-3 formation, and absolutely murdered Sweds in that 2:1 win. He almost cracked bar in half with long range piledriver, and Fallon scored easy tap in from another.

im pretty sure it was Hamshaw who crossed it for Peacock to score. Can someone please confirm?

Yes, it was Heckingbottom

But, was it his cross for 1:0 in the first game ?

He was swinging some good crosses in from the left in the home leg. I think he put it in, Peacock headed it across and when it came to Quinn he did the backheel for JP to finish, via Sodje.

Hamshaw put one in for JP to hit the bar as well.
