dorian gray Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 nn 1 hour ago, Emerson Thome said: These 'hard man' threads are somewhat tiresome and seem to come round every couple of months, but as there is bùgger all else to do I'll bite... Not sure what Pressman has done to be a shoe-in for everyone's XI. He's big but he's out of shape - anyone remember a goalkeeper that neshed out of playing the full 90 minutes more often than Pressman? Surely Martin 'Concussion? What concussion?' Hodge is a better bet, or Steven Bywater certainly looked the part. it's because numbers in our support realise that 'passion, belief and strength of character' is (it seems) are nigh on always missing from wednesday squads, and when it is at it's lowest level, we are at our worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatter Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Pressman Sterland Jones Coughlan Reda Henderson Kay Palmer Harkes Warboys Chapman Not sure they’d win much some hard bar stewards in that lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sternlad Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Flippin eck! How could you not have Don Megson in this 11? I have seen wingers bounce off his chest and collide “gently” with the wall in front of the South Terrace as it was then. Him, Mobley and Gerry Young would not be out of place on the face of Mount Rushmore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costello 77 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I've been thinking about this.. I could name a few.. but as I pictured it...it was a whole team under Wilkinson..they wouldn't give an inch..home or away. It might have been Liverpool away and we were packed in.. I turned to a Wednesdayite and said "they're frightened of us" and he agreed..the whole team were monsters.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a switch now to what people think is the weakest 11 ever to play for Wednesday? Kuqi? You've got to be joking. I still remember that header he bottled against the Pigs.

Anyone who celebrates a goal by jumping 6ft in the air and landing full on his front has a screw loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think many of the tough defenders back then such as Adams and Bould, Bruce and Pallister, would tell you how tough the likes of Hirst and Bright were to play against.
