@owlstalk Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Cracking read from Alex Miller in todays Sheffield Star that's well worth fighting through the Star website to read.. Steven Fletcher raced from in front of the Kop and charged towards the dugout with every vein in his body pulsing out of his skin. For months Hillsborough had seen nothing like it. The Scot had snatched three priceless points for the Owls with a 95th-minute winner over Charlton and the 20-odd thousand supporters present celebrated in shared pandemonium. It was the release of emotion from half a city that hadn’t seen their team score in eight weeks. Fletcher embraced teammates along the way and for a few seconds, the Sheffield Wednesday family joined in the sort of ecstasy only football can deliver. The noise was incredible and photographs of the celebrations capture the emotion perfectly; pure, unashamed relief. But in a pair of seats just metres from where Fletcher had sparked this chaos, two men shared a moment in which the rest of the world didn’t matter....

Kew Owl Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 A very moving story - and a timely reminder that, as the article indeed points out, there are more important things in the world than football.
