hirstyno9 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Back then we had some excellent SWFC videos – things like Fight for Promotion, The Will to Win, It’s a kind of magic, League Cup Glory etc. Great commentary (usually by John Helm?) and brilliant interviews and footage with the players. We had great camaraderie in the squad back then, and it really came across in those videos. There are some great quotes, things like; “King’s Cross to Hirst, it sounds like a train journey but it nearly produced a goal”! What are people’s favourite memories of these VHS classics? It certainly was a great time to be a Wednesdayite. Also – is it possible to get any of these on DVD? It would be great to have them on a more modern format like MP4. Can this be done? Anybody converted them? I would pay good money for some modern copies. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I had the 93/94 video, which I used to watch whenever I needed cheering up a bit (little boys have feelings too kids). we made a slow start that season. And I think we played Norwich and in typical Wednesday style we went 3-0 up and ended up drawing 3-3. John helm said “victory was elusive as ever”. I also remember there was a strange interview with mark bright about his goal scoring, and he said “I write down the numbers 1-5 or something around the flat and tick them off as I go past”. I still have no frigging clue what he was on about. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevebrucebarmyarmy Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I’m selling a lot of the videos but not converted them to a dvd (see Swfc transfer list) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinnssweetshop Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 can be done, has been done. I know I've converted a few things for my own archive. I'll dig em out, I just moved home, so i'll have to drag the discs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl999 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I had them all, being on the will to win video as a 15 year old was brilliant, I could also pick myself out running on the pitch after the league cup second leg on the Leauge Cup Glory videos, fantastic times to have been a supporter .

owlZfan84 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I've got the one where Palmer is on one after Waddle reversed into his car at his gaff? Think they were sat having having a pre-match meal 'discussing' the incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Dobson Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 If you're of a certain age two Wednesday teams stand out(1958 - 1962/63) and (1990 - 1994). Very little television coverage of the Catterick's and Buckingham's teams but these wonderful VHS's of the early 90's certainly stir the memories. You can convert them and one day I must do so! They were pretty professionally done and John Helm did a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) I loved the will to win and still have the 92-93 93-94 94-95 seasons Used to love John Helm but looking back it sounds a bit cheap At least one of them is signed by Waddle and Hirst Great time to be a Wednesday fan Think theyre all on youtube anyway..and dvds are on there way out Edited October 16, 2018 by HIGHERSTATE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkskaphil Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I didn't think they made a 94-95 season video. My first visit to Hillsborough was during that season but when I asked the staff in the club shop about it the following season they said a video hadn't been made. I didn't have the Will to Win but I had all the season reviews up until 2012 promotion season. Did John Helm ever work out how to pronounce "Wednesday" properly? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martyn8484 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 was it John Helm that always said "Julian Hyde", did my head right in! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a guy who always used to go on about David Hirst's 'trusty left peg' who used to get players' names wrong. I assumed his commentary was recorded later because he never seemed to sound surprised or excited by anything, as though he already knew it was going to happen.

One that sticks in the mind (I think the 6-2 Leeds game) when he said "FIRST time pass, FIRST time touch, FIRST time shot, and Wednesday leadl!" Calm down mate...........

Here he is describing Mark Pembridge's "trusty right boot". That's the predominantly left-footed Mark Pembridge, by the way... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTBd1jCiBBE This was the match where a Millwall fan ran on and told Kevin Pressman he wouldn't make it out of the stadium alive. I was at the game and little did I know I wouldn't see Wednesday win again for the next eight years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlueDan Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 How come there are no season reviews available of the bad old days, 2002 onwards ? I think there's one of the promotion season (04/05 ?) but then they stop up until the 2011 promotion season ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
