How many of these Sheffield Wednesday players can you name?

[torryowl]

i'm guessing all but alan finney are no longer with us  so its feasible that he's our oldest living player  at 87 ........

[Kevan]

We should wear those hooped socks now.  Look superb!

Front row, right hand side 

 

Garry Monk 

Albert Broadbent...used to manage Eckington at some point...they were short one week and he came on in midfield. I couldn't get the ball from him...he was about 48 at the time. He was the one inspired me to play on until my late 40's...and a top bloke

[OWL1969]

If my memory serves me right, that team won Promotion to the Top Tier, Happy Days. 

[Guest hirstysfags]

Don't tell em Pike.

[Tarquin]

My abiding memories of that team apart from the Quixall ones are of Norman "chopper" Curtis p[laying against Stanley Matthews and putting him over the railings with a tackle into the kop end of the south terrace. Also of the keeper  McIntosh who a bit later was turning out  for the A team in the Hatchard league away at Stocksbridge Works , he went AWOL and was found propping the bar up in the Miners Arms .

I like the cut of Quixalls jib. He looks like a handful (not,in a perverted Preston player type way...)

I never knew we had players called Sitting & Standing. Cant find any references to them in our records. One for Dunsby to resolve.

I can give first names without look them up.

Ron, Tom, Dave, Ralph, Norman

Alan, Albert, Roy, Don, Redfern, Albert.  

 

Seven of them played in the first match I ever saw.  Six for us, and Broadbent was with the opposites (Rotherham).

 

I'd like to name the ground, as I used to go to loads of away games but I'm stumped.  Might be Wolves or Liverpool.  

[George]

I was going to suggest that the first in from the left standing looked like Christopher Walken but then realised the chap is infact a relative of mine so I shall be nice!

I think it's Gigg Lane, Bury, that looks like their main stand where the changing rooms are.

 

If that is the 1955-56 2nd Division Champions season, on 21st April '56 we won the last away game of the season at Bury 5-2 to clinch the title. We were already promoted by then.

I will second this.  We played Jonny Quins All Stars at Stannington.  We were all young bucks and I was a pacey, tricky goal scoring striker.  Looked at the old bloke in the middle and thought I would have a heyday.  Never got near him, his positioning, speed of thought and control were outstanding.  If I got too close I realised that he was also made of granite.  Off all the All Stars he made the biggest impression on me.  Played em twice, lost 10-1 each time.
