4evaowl Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 As a kid they were my heroes, even though we were terrible then! Â Johny Sissons, Eric Potts and Willie Henderson were my favourites and Tommy Craig was a class act. Ken Knighton was the real hard man of the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not go to the 0-0 (ironically also against Bristol City) under Carlos? No shots on target the whole game (I don't even think there were any shots at all full stop.....)  That bloody game still stains my memory. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Green Army Posted February 10 Popular Post Share Posted February 10 It’s amazing what football fans can remember.  I can tell you all about Argyle marches from the 80s with the mention of certain refs names still enough to make my blood boil!  But I can’t tell you what my wife asked me to pick up from the Supermarket even though she only asked me 10 mins ago!  2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did, we did, and it still rankles with me 54 years later. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I started going in 1981 when we were OK and were getting better and better, starting in 1974 might have put me off for life... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Happy Anniversary! Loving that cover design - the classic (and best) owl and great font for 'Sheffield Wednesday'. Plus the graphics of the players faces. Superb. Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highowl Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Always thought Burtenshaw as respected coach as he was to be our worst ever manager in my time.  Until Mr Chansiri rewrote the history books with Jos and Xisco. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sissons , T Craig , Potts and Joicey were decent players but we had some shockers too around that time . Great times following them round the country despite some dire performances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
