owler66 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 He got injured after this match and didn't play in the next home game a 3-3 draw with rock bottom Swindon, in fact this match was the beginning of the end of his Wednesday career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we stuck 5 past QPR and Ipswich as well and we're known as "The Entertainers". Didn't win owt. Classic Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owler66 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 He was brilliant this match and he was just turned 33, I'm not sure why his career at Wednesday came to an end whether he fell out with someone but he seemed to have a bit of a normadic end to his playing days, he should have stayed here till he hung his boots up and had an end to his career here similar to Trevor Francis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went through a phase of not playing particularly well but scoring for fun. Strange season which promised so much after the previous season and the acquisition of Des Walker yet unfortunately didn’t deliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it Hinchcliffe? Think Hinchcliffe in 1998 was the last player who played for England while at Wednesday. Although we have had a few players since who have played for England either before or after they spell a Wednesday. Ross Barkley, Gabriel Agbonlahor, Chris Kirkland, Francis Jeffers, Jay Bothroyd, Anthony Gardner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was incredible when we put six on Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players like Waddle, Hirst, Bright, Chris Woods, Sinton, Sheridan all seemed to be moved on about same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I wouldn't have thought that, it just feels like he didn't do much of note after that match his decline and Wednesdays ran side by side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
