BRADDO Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 He is a legend in my eyes and I would have liked him to be referenced in the Dream Scene. Brought us back from the depths 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Rat Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Happy memories of my brother and me following Big Jack’s Owls to some of the most god forsaken grounds in the league but there was rarely a dull moment in that era. Great man and great manager. Happy birthday! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Happy birthday 'Sir' Jack. The best manager in my 50 odd years of watching the owls. I see a lot of 'Sir' Jack's attitude in Jossie. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldensmoke Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Part of the divine quality of our great club is the sprinkling of truly great men who have shaped our history. We are lucky indeed, this man provided the most special of times with his teams and players that I watched with my dear Dad and brother. I still have dreams about walking down Wadsley Lane with them towards the glow of the floodlights to watch Big Jacks men. Jack was and I’m sure still is an immense character and I’m sure he is loved by Wednesdayites like he is a grandfather. Thanks for the memories Jack! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatahoot Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Once bumped into him and his wife in Pepe's restaurant in Jalon Valley, near his holiday place in Moraria, Costa Blanca. Top bloke. He is proud and has very fond memories of his time at Hillsborough.. Hope you are still catching the rays and the fish out in Spain big fella. Thanks for your time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldowl67 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Happy Birthday Big Jack. As kids used to stand as close as we could to Jack and Maurice Setters as they watched the Wednesday youth team at Thorncliffe on Saturday mornings. Then down to Hillsborough in the afternoon or if we were away watching one of our local teams at Thorncliffe or Mortomley Park. At half time had to race onto the pitch to take shots at goals with nets - happy days! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohgoditsjames Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Happy Birthday Jack! He was born in 1935 which means it's been 83 painful years without winning the FA Cup thanks to failing in 66 and 93...

Bramhall Owl Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Happy birthday Big Jack A great man who dragged us back from the depths......the youngsters of today have no idea what bad means. Shame he wasn't quite able to finish the job of getting us back to Division 1, as it was. I had the privilege of meeting him once. He was a speaker at a Sportsman dinner in the North East. Afterwards I queued up to get his autograph and thanked him for his time at Hillsborough. He looked at me and said 'Aye they were good times they were'.......weren't they just? My first season of following us away from home was '79-80, how lucky was I? Edited May 8, 2018 by Bramhall Owl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying V Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 So glad to have met him and his wife at open evening, had my picture taken with him which signed. Great man and who forget those 3rd Division games ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
