And we still lost. I remember being stunned that, after taking the lead, someone as average as Chelsea had enough to come back and beat us at Hillsborough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I still had that VHS tape where I had recorded the only Wednesday game that I recall seeing on the TV here (1-1 vs Utd). Waddle didn't do much in that one but still. It’s a top drawer finish, from a top drawer striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made that look easy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl Be Back Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 The era. Those players. Waddle the icing on the cake. I doubt we'll ever see the like playing for us again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez But at least they can watch replays of them on a nice big screen. Oh, wait. Do they only show replays for goals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toppOwl Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Thought it was a bit of a gamble bringing him to the club at 32 (was it??) but what a gamble it turned out to be, injured in his first match on the slippery turf at Goodison but when he came back he came back with a bang, the full season he played and won player of the year was the best season from an individual Owls player I've seen or will see again, sublime.

True . To be honest in today’s Rubbish world and today’s rubbish Wednesday , as a kid now , I’d probably be a Man Utd / Liverpool glory supporter . I really don’t know whats worse !

Yep. Just can’t get my lad into watching Wednesday, or football on general. He plays, but even his interest in that seems to be dropping. Coincidentally, I recall Waddle saying that too few aspiring players watch matches nowadays, and that it’s an important way of learning that they’re missing out on. I know the pork academy insist their youngsters watch certain games and feedback on aspects of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnishOwl Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Funny (and sad) to watch those highlights. How many times in our current games the ball would have been passed back to defence or just hoofed away. Waddle made things look so very easy there. No need to do any of that Cristiano Ronaldo thing weaving your feet over the ball all the time, just some small clever trick and a second later, the fullback is already a meter behind you. And Palmer fighting for the ball and not giving it up.. Palmer did score a true box to box midfielder goal in that Utd game I mentioned. Ran into the box from midfield to head the ball into the net.
