RobbieOwler Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Just a little fun but wondering if you ever witnessed the unexpected mention of Sheffield Wednesday in TV Shows, Films, books and so on.Here's two to kick off with: BBC Three Sitcom 'cuckoo' starring Andy Samberg and Greg Davies. Greg Davies character buys his dad tickets to see his beloved Wednesday (proper tickets like, wonder if any of the production team used them) Remember watching Maid Marian and Her Merry Men and her merry men broke into a Wednesday chant.

Those were Stockport fans who are now all Man City fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroswfc Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Coronation Street: When Tommy Craig playing Tommy Harris In his first episode (I think) walked Into Rovers Return and they asked him If he was United or City and he turned round and said Neither I'm 'Wednesday'.

Whitechapel Owl Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Coronation Street: When Tommy Craig playing Tommy Harris In his first episode (I think) walked Into Rovers Return and they asked him If he was United or City and he turned round and said Neither I'm 'Wednesday'. Yeah, he would often wear Wednesday gear as well, quite subtle stuff, I'm sure he has a T-Shirt on in one episode that said "Owusu" on it. Think it was in the style of a bar code. One of Alistair Mcgowan's early impression series used to make Wednesday jokes all the time, one of the producers or directors must have been a fan because it happened so often it was ridiculous.

Neal M Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 A Very British Coup. The PM (played by Ray McAnally) is a Wednesdayite. Carries a Wednesday sports bag with him. I move a lot of concrete on the QVC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheriwozgod Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Christ knows how or why i remember this , but back in the early seventies there was a sitcom starring Wendy Craig called "And mother makes three" , about a single mom with two boys (quite an unusual thing in those days). One of the lads is bringing his first girlfriend back for tea and his mother warns him not to bore her by talking about Sheffield Wednesday all night. Also i seem to remember when the guy who played Tricky Dicky on Eastenders was once doing a scene in a shop where the windows had been whited over , and in the background you could see where he had drawn a little Wednesday Owl.

Loxley Owl Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 In Threads, the young lad who dies has a Wednesday pendant in his bedroom. Perhaps not all that surprising as it's set in Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zicos Mighty Mullet Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Martin Cloones makes reference to something being "as enjoyable as being on a train full of Sheffield Wednesday supporters" in an episode of Men Behaving Badly. I remember that. Something about him being in fancy dress as Winnie Mandela on a train full of Sheffield Wednesday fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidward Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Archie in Emmerdale Farm used to wear a Wednesday hat in the 80's and 90's. Didn't save him from being wiped out by that plane crash though. The fact that I know this registers as one of my lowest moments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 saw a old war film years ago where they pull a kraut out of the sea and this jack tar gives him a dry shirt that's striped and says to him "there you are just like Sheffield Wednesday".
