What a waste of money, I thought when I saw the headline in The Star. I was wrong, boy was I wrong.

Bulldog Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I remember it well. First thing I thought is "Why have we signed this ageing player who's obviously passed his best" I've always been a good judge of players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still expect the goalie to pick the ball up, just can't get used to it. The goalies look so awkward trying to position themselves to kick it away, doesnt look natural.

Guest hirstysfags Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 He certainly was up there WITH the best. Controversial opinion, but what if Di Canio played for us as long as Waddle did, would he be looked on as the better player? I think Di Canio was the more exciting player with just as much, if not more skill. Ouch....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagesse Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 This sort of post just makes me cry. What a wonderful team we had. Many supporters have no idea just how good we were to watch back then..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheridan was my favourite... Agree with ya dad on Di canio Off the pitch a complete tool but on it he was excellent Not had a more talented forward since 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was Footballer of the Year when he was with us. I dont think any other Wednesday player has come close to that since the War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
