Prendo's boots Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 He was very loyal to Wednesday as I remember and was prepared to see his contract out even when we got relegated...a shining light in a struggling side! A very good player!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrmason69 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 He was an excellent player. Alexanderson was a rare gem in that team. Someone mentioned collins. He was a nice footballer. I'd forgotten these players. Who remembers Ray Blackhall. An excellent right back who had to quit through injury. This is from memory and not the Internet.

LoadABallacks Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Great player. My friend lived on the same road as him. We visited one Halloween and he was very apologetic he didn't have any treats in, so he gave us a tin of beans. True story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/10/1983 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 A very good player; by God he would look immense in the current team. I remember the Man United game clearly as it was my last before going off on a year long trip around the World. It just shows how the World has changed; I was sitting in a bar three nights later in Singapore and they were showing Premier League matches. Tons of locals in watching it as if it was live. It was clear they did not know the final outcome. I cheered our goals like I had done three days earlier. The Singaporean manure fans took it all in good humour. Wim Jonk scoring as well. I am sure the Dutch pronounce J as W and O as A. Or they should have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was ace. Seemed to be really popular throughout his time at Sheffield Wednesday Can't remember why he left or where to but always felt it was too soon When we got relegated from the Premier league he was the only player we sold for a fee £2.5m if my memory serves me. A quality player and very under rated, he went on to make over 100 appearance for Sweden at a time when they were a very good team. When i was growing up he was in that core of players we had of Peter Rudi, Reg Blinker, Di Canio, Carbone that added something different to the team along side the British lads. In todays game he would be a £30-50m players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor old Danny Wilson was persuaded into leaving a club he was adored at, to coming back to us with a remit of getting the italians under control and selling off any players that would bring money into the club. He was always on a hiding to nothing and several of us Wednesdayites begged him to stay with Barnsley until Wednesday had sorted themselves out. Unfortunately for us, we had no idea it would take so long! I liked Alexandersson's endeavour, but he was not the most talented winger we have had by a long way, although he could show Palmer a thing or two on how to run up and down the wing all day. Wilson, despite blotting his copy book by becoming our manager, will always stand out for me as one of our hero during a time when we felt like we belonged in the top division and felt we could compete with any club on our day. You always knew that the end of the half was coming when Wilson started getting a bit ratty, ready for a *** and would go into a challenge that should only ever end in him getting a card.

Lord Snooty Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Terrific player. Great work ethic, superb attitude. Recommended to Big Ron by Roland if memory serves. Always felt for the lad a but that he never got to play in a decent side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"...did well ...Wilson...GOALLLL!" Actually I do Alexandersson a great dis-service by saying he was not the most talented winger we ever had, but what I meant by that was that his hard work was the thing yo would remember him most for, not his crosses, assists or goals, he was more of an outright grafter. During his two and a half seasons for us in the prem he only scored 7 or 8 league goals in 70 odd games, but he was one of our very best players during those troubled times and for me, the fact that he was one of our best players back then signalled our slide down the league because the rest of the team were not up to his standards.
