Who scored your first Wednesday goal?


Recommended Posts

Spent the last nearly 40 years believing it was Mick Prendergast who'd scored our goal in a 1-1 draw v Hull at Hillsborough Boxing Day 1973. That was probably because he'd be the only bloke my (not football mad) dad had heard of. I stood on the Leppings Lane down at the front, and can clearly remember the pointy bit of the South Stand, and Peter Springett's bald pate coming to collect a loose ball in front of me, but bugger all else.

Later research declared the scorer to be Eddie Prudham. Damn. Prendergast much more street cred.

Gerald Sibon v Walsall, 20 October 2001. I was 14 and wore a Man Utd shirt under my jumper.

Byfield put Walsall ahead in the 19th, Sibon equalised in the 79th and Pablo Bonvin snatched the win in injury time.

Division 1 against Walsall might not sound a great introduction to Wednesday given what had gone before, but for a 14 year old who had never attended a football match before, it was like opium. Never looked back.

Lee Bradbury... Yes seriously, I started supporting us when we were poo pooe its not on the pitch that does it for me its the name Sheffield Wednesday, proper means so much. But yeah old Lee Bradbury penalty against Watford in 2003, we were 2-0 down and Bradbury scored the penalty then Danny Maddix scored a 94th minute equaliser! I'll remember that all my life. (I'd been to 2 games before that where we hadnt scored that season).

Yep, I think the other was a Steve Maclean Penalty?

My first game was against Luton a few weeks earlier but that was 0-0 with Lee Peacock hitting the post.
