prowl Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Star article by dad on Jordan. Nice read. https://t.co/CxaGSQxQ41 Andy said: “The people who are close to Jordan know he loves Sheffield Wednesday and always has done. He has come to quite a few of games as a fan so he obviously really wanted the move to happen when the opportunity was brought up. “I thought it would happen one day. Did I think it would happen this window? I didn’t know. I was a bit nervous.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Tom Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Jordan will be a legend here. Christ, he already was for two years before he signed. Give him time and he'll bleed our colours. I was slightly cynical about the outlay, given how good we know Hooper et al can be, but I dunno - something just clicked when I saw him interviewed, looked a bit more into his past interest in the club, etc etc. Haven't felt a signing was so inherently *right* for us in years, and that's no disrespect at all to the many players who've arrived in the past 2-3 years and been consistently brilliant. They've been wonderful surprises; this one somehow seems carved in stone. Edited February 6, 2017 by Mr. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May aswell give him Harry Kane's song too. Jordan Rhodes, he's one of our own. Edited February 6, 2017 by pazowl55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt the same way watching the interview, it some how felt like he'd come home, he's waited for Wednesday because he wants to be here, it really made me smile watching it.

theowlsman Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 The main thing I got out of that article was what a top Dad Andy Rhodes is. Said how proud he was of all his kids, not just Jordan. Then in his newspaper interview, Jack Hunt says what a lovely bloke Jordan Rhodes is, doesn't even swear. Top parenting Daddy Rhodes. Mrs Rhodes must've thought you were a keeper.

Mrs Rhodes must've thought you were a keeper. When you see him in interviews, Jordan comes across as being almost too nice to be a footballer. He's a breath of fresh air.

owlZfan84 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Does anyone know where JR's affinity with us comes from? He's a Yorkshire lad, right? Did he support us as a kid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 All hail DC. The main man strikes again. Subtle & professional. This man will take us where we want to be, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he support us as a kid? Guess he's been brought up in South Yorkshire with his Dad being ex-Donny and Barnsley, and his Uncle (Steve Agnew) being ex-Barnsley too, so was probably always aware of us being the biggest club in the regiion, and is probably the reason for the interest. Only guessing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he support us as a kid? Been wondering this also. JR was already a professional footballer at Huddersfield by the time his dad joined us a goalkeeping coach. And before that they were down in Ipswich together. Still, his Dad's from Donny, so it's not implausible that he might have been from a Wednesday-supporting family.

Bing Cosby Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Call me old fashioned, but it's really refreshing to have signed a top player who speaks well, has a proper haircut and isn't covered in tattoos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
