Havin-a-hoot Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I know he's maybe not a complete legend amongst the entire history of the club... but if there is one player I would love to see in there it is JJ... For people growing up my age, he was the biggest spark of life the club had in a dark period of our history, a true lightning bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 4 hours ago, Whitechapel Owl said: One player I'd really like to see on there (and to be fair he probably will be) is Roland Nilsson. Our best ever right back, played in 3 cup finals (4 if you count the replay) and as probably our best ever foreign player if would be nice to have someone representing us from another nation. In my opinion, he was the best right back ever seen in English football Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

LoadABallacks Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Properly moist about this. Needs the represent the full 150 years though, not just be full of players from the last 20-30 years because they are in living memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) This is a great concept. It will be a great tribute as long as it reflects the majority of the club's history and as more of the true legends rather than a bunch of modern players. It's hard to pick just 10. Had to leave out many of my favourite players and quite a lot of legendary players. But my top 10 are: Andrew Wilson; Ellis Rimmer, Fred Spiksley, Tommy Crawshaw, Ernest Blenkinsop, Ron Springett, John Fantham, Derek Dooley, David Hirst and John Sheridan. It's debatable who our top 10 all time legends are but I feel for various reasons these significant players are deserving of a place in the dream scene painting, in my opinion. But I can see how it would be tricky for a fanbase of all ages to come up with a definitive top 10 but I hope we all appreciate the idea and I hope the final outcome does justice to the club's entire 150 year history. Surely Andrew Wilson should be on there for being our all time top scorer and appearances record holder. I'd have Ellis Rimmer on there for scoring in every round of the Cup. Fred Spiksley for being one of the games first stars and for his remarkable life story and career. Tommy Crawshaw for his loyalty and leadership. Ernie Blenkinsop for being one of England's greatest ever full backs. Ron Springett for being our best ever keeper and for being in the England squad that won the World Cup. Johnny Fantham for being our post war top scorer. Derek Dooley for his goalscoring prowess in his tragically short playing career and his remarkably inspiring life story. David Hirst for being a true modern cult legend, not just a remarkable striker but scoring with a broken ankle and keeping a clean sheet as emergency keeper typified how much Wednesday means to him. And lastly Sheridan not just for being our best modern player but also for his legendary Cup Final winning goal.

Ellis scored 140 goals in 418 appearances and he scored in every round of the cup (eight in total) including the 2 in the final. After he retired from football he ran the Hallamshire House public house in Sheffield. He died at the early age of 58 in 1965. Andrew Wilson also won the league with us in 1928-1929 and 1929-1930, the FA cup in 1907 and he remains the clubs all time goal scorer with 216 goals and is the highest capped player, he made 545 appearances. Wilson was the highest scorer in 6 different seasons. Corrected the year that Wilson won the FA Cup with us. Hope to git these two make it, and hope to god that he paints all the trophies, it's meant to represent the history, including the Cromwell cups and the Football alliance.
