My dad told me about it once but it was years later when I saw it for the first time. Ok not exactly a war film, maybe you mean a different one Torryowl but there is a wednesday reference as you describe in this one. Thats cos it was We Dive At Dawn Eric Portman is the sailor who hands a Blackburn Rovers looking shirt to the German saying here Sheffield Wednesday Edited April 28, 2019 by Lawrie Madden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember his name or the name of the quiz show. Quizball (I think David Vine was the compere) and the guy was called Leonard Sachs...I think he was the brother of Andrew Sachs who played Manuel in Fawlty Towers. Another guy who was on one year for Wednesday was the writer Stan Barstow (A Kind of Loving). My Mum was heartbroken because her favourite singer back then, Dave Berry appeared for the Blades.

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. Memory not quite 100% there. it was “butterflies “ and one of the sons was Nicholas “Rodney” Lyndhurst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
