Brommers Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 My first Wednesday match at Hillsborough (my dad had taken me to watch Newcastle a few times when we visited family) was quite memorable, Boxing Day 1979. I was 10 and we'd only moved to Sheffield 2 years before so I didn't really have any feelings for either of the Sheffield clubs. Went with a mate from school (still can't believe our parents let us go unsupervised), he was a Man Utd fan. Anyway, we were well and truly Wednesday fans by the end of the match. 2 hours ago, Devonstrix said: This is spot on. Boxing Day 1965 I was only nine and due to go to Rotherham v Man City at Millmoor Div 2. It would have been my first live game of league football. Match postponed, frozen pitch. Fast forward to May 1966. A mate of my dad's who played in local league football, Parkgate or Rawmarsh, got two tickets for the FA cup final. He took me. That was how Wednesday chose me. Because of Boxing Day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBoy1762 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 None of my parents are interested in football so it dident get passed down through them. but i remember as a 9/10 year old being taken on the weekly shop to the old Asda on handwsorth and seeing pictures of us (wednesday) winning the 1991 Cup and I was like ' I'm having some of that' Wembley was our second home in the early 90's premier league all the way through the 90s Carbone and Di canio Then after that been down hill feel sorry for Those who missed out on that era! Chin up we go again!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 My dad and my uncle were Wednesdayites, they started taking me in the early sixties Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatter Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Taken to Hillsborough by my Dad and Uncle for first time 58/59 promotion season v Barnsley. We won 5-0. It was great and I thought it would always be like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandrewchaz Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Split family between Wednesday and Blades. First match I ever went to was Sheff Utd vs QPR. They lost 2-0, crap pie and it just felt wrong. Going to Hillsborough with my old man there was much more of a connection and never looked back. Think I paid for my transgression of attending Utd by having a season ticket during the Jewell/Shreeves/Yorath era. The 0-0 vs Bradford still goes down as one of the worst games I've ever attended.

casbahowl Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Born on Leppings Lane & went to Parkside Rd School…….. Saw the ground almost every single day of my life till we moved what seemed like a million miles away to Wadsley Bridge…… could still see the ground from my new bedroom window! Ball boy at the reserves home games in the central league then at the ripe old age of 14 became a glass collector at the Ozzie Owl Club at home games & Friday and Saturday nights! Saw some things at that place that no 14 year old lad should ever see! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fablon Dunlop Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I was always a fan of Scalectrix. I remember when I was just a boy and my parents bought my brother a rally set, it came with a small VW Golf and a Lancia Stratos. We'd race each other and when your car flew off, you had to lick the track as forfeit. I've been a Wednesday fan since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveyboy66 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 First day at school aged 5 at lunch I was invited to play football my mate who was a year older told me it was Wednesday v United I asked him who he supported and he said Wednesday...that's all she wrote. BTW we lived at the bottom of Eccy Rd and my Dad and all my uncles were blades...we've never had a blade since in the family 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Neg Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I grew up in London following Tottenham, first game was watching them away at Stamford Bridge. My Mum moved us up to Sheffield in 1990 aged 8 and my new school friends supported Wednesday, I suppose the Rumbelows Cup win sealed it a year later that I was now an Owl. If I could change anything, I'd have made sure I was 2 stone heavier and 6 inches taller as an 8 year old and told them to FFF Off I support Spurs. To be fair though, I've only ever truly felt the highs and lows that football brings supporting Wednesday but they are much softened these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsAGrumbleFromImre Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 In 1978 my father decided I needed to have a rites of passage test of character like the Spartans and took me to a 3-2 home defeat to Plymouth. Little did I know that it would be a lifelong test with no end in sight like the search for the holy grail or the effing gold elephants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Nick Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 In 1970 a bunch of English doctors moved into our neighborhood. One of them was a heart surgeon, so was my Dad, and soon our families became good friends. Dr. Packingham always referred to himself as a Yorkshire Man and was a Wednesday fan, Dad was a huge sports fan, and wanted to know about "soccer." From 1970-74 our entire families would fly over to London, where the girls would stay, we guys would drive on up to Hillsborough. During that time we'd go to Hillsborough 6 or 8 times a year. Been a fan ever since. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deepcar_lights Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Dad took me, from a young age, during the 90s. Fell in love with Di Canio / Carbone, it was spellbinding. Wasn't bothered until then, really. We'd sit at the back, on the kop, and I'd perch on the blue girders. Once threw chuddy and it landed in a woman's perm. She went ape. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac_77 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Mum, Dad and Brother had no interest in football. Was given hand-me-down clothes by my aunt who had 2 older lads and lived in Shiregreen. One lucky bag of clobber contained the following 3 shirts, would have been 7/8 at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
