Steel city derby stats thread


Recommended Posts

Just a thread to share interesting statistics and the odd anecdote about footballs most important derby.

 

We play the other side of sheffield for the 141st time (competitively) on tuesday.

 

Both wednesday and united have each won 48 games with 44 draws.

 

Im wondering who the all time top scorer is and attendance records.

The grunters won't like that stat.

 

TBF, the 141 games include a few wartime matches. Stick to league games and major cups and the S2 flaps are slightly ahead.

 

But while they have that, we have the warm glow and inner happiness that comes with not being incest loving tw@ts.

 

 

I move a lot of concrete on the QVC.

Sorry, all the days seem to roll into one nowadays.

 

So noone knows who the top scorer is in steel city derbies?

 

How many did curran get?

Andrew Wilson scored 10 league goals against them I 'd doubt anyone scored more than that for us .....

Just looking up some stats on that wikipedia thing and came across this statement.

The new football club were quickly labelled the Pigs by their Wednesday counterparts, in reference to Pig Iron, an intermediate produce in the production of Steel, hinting that Wednesday were there first and therefore The Steel of the City and United, the secondary club, were the Pig Iron.

 

Sounds about reyt to me that.
