Popular Post Tommy Crawshaw Posted May 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2020 Hi everyone, after many years as a viewer of the forum, I've decided to join in the fun . In fact I've been trying to register for about 18 months but the computer kept saying no. In the end I had to join Facebook to do it that way which is a pain. Re my username. Tommy Crawshaw as most of you will know was a Wednesday legend, playing over 400 games for the club between 1894 and 1908. He played in our first FA Cup final winning team in 1896 and captained the team to win the Cup for a second time in 1907. In between he captained Wednesday when winning consecutive League championship titles in 1902-03 and 1903-04. He was a local lad from the Park area and along with players like Ambrose Langley played a great part in that successful early era of the club. Since choosing the username I've become aware that Tommy's great grandson also called Tommy is alive and well. I'm not sure is he frequents this forum but if obviously if he isn't happy with me using the name I will change it. As a long time viewer, I feel I know a lot of you well already so go easy on me to start with . Anyway I'm off now to learn how to those Sid James and Blakey face thingies. Cheers 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Crawshaw Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 Just a brief resume of my history of following the Owls. First game dad (who funnily enough was a Blade) took me to as a nipper was in 1970 (relegation season). Started going regularly in the early/mid 70's when old enough to go on my own. So my early years were pretty dismal times until resurgence when Big Jack, Wlko then Big Ron came along. Had many season tickets over the years but not in recent times as work hasn't allowed. Still get to games when I can POTD but I'm afraid won't be a season ticket holder again until I retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Welcome to the newbies, just be careful of certain posters who will try to convert you to the nutty beliefs of David Icke. Oh, and salad cream or mayo ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
