Maghoma, helan? There's always some nutter who'll have it in for a perfectly good player but we're talking the sort of player when you've been sat at a game and someone's getting it hurled at them from all sides. Bothroyd is the only player in my time watching Wednesday who truly deserved to be booed and reviled. Had no respect or empathy with the fans who ultimately payed his wages. Chose to resort to social media to explicitly emphasise this after his second game. Showed zero effort and commitment in his time here. Others like Fox and Morris who got pelters just happened not to play very well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Chris Morris used to get hammered as soon as his name was read out just because he wasn’t Mel Sterland. I can’t remember him being that bad really. Dog poo like Nuhiu and Andy Pearce enjoyed cult status for being dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheridan a legend. Some mumbling when he slipped below his own high standards but never a boo boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolder was awful at first but turned into a half decent keeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrs Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 There were definitely some concerted boos in that Oxford game. Well I heard them around me anyway, at the back of the kop. Incredible really considering he wrote his name into folklore about three weeks later. But like many have said it was a one-off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally never seen that before where it was such a majority of the crowd booing one of our own players. I think after that a lot of fans felt bad and they applauded him when he next got the ball Wasn’t that when he tried to head the ball back to the keeper, literally from the half way line ?

Seems a strange one as he went on to have a fairly solid career for Celtic & EIRE. He was a striker as a “blue former”. Someone, can’t remember who, converted him to right-back. He was shocking but always gave his best. Was made worse because he was picked ahead of Mel “Zico” Sterland for a while after Sterland returned from injury (I believe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyonedavidhirst Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Best shouts for me so far are Buxton, Sterland, Morris and Brunt. 4 players who all served us well but had a period of Bering booed. Sheridan was only 2 matches from memory so I won't include him personally but I'll add to the mix Sibon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got sworn at enough by the North Stand if we were playing towards the Lepp... Think he made two assists for Charlton in first half n got subbed before half time. Never a boo boy though, just a bit erratic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centre half seems quite forgiving. Had some pretty poor ones but don't seem to get a lot of flack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday fans idolised him and when he scored twice for Oldham against us the Kop were all singing his name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
