Did you ‘like his legs’ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The side that came 3rd in the league. 2nd 1990-1991 - League Cup winners 3rd 1992-93 - Waddle & Co 4th Carlos' team that got to Wembley..Loovens & Co. Played well as a team and scored some crackers on the way. 5th Wilko mid 80s team. Chapman, Shelton, & Co. Held their own after promotion This. I’m in full agreement. I did enjoy selected moments of big Jacks team …. Bolder, Blackhall, Sterland, Smith, Shirtcliff, Megson, Taylor, Mirocevic, Curren, Bannister, McCulloch, etc. Hopelessly inconsistent but fun at times.

Mine too, loved Zico, Banno, Varadi, Megson, Shelton and co. So many other sides couldn't deal with the style of play. It seemed to be the same team every week...... probably was 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Thome Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 The correct answer is obviously the early 90s team, but I think in 10 years or so time a few of us will look back fondly on last seasons squad too - Stockdale or Dawson with a bit of personality in goal, Flint, McGuinness, Ihiekwe with some proper old-school defence at the back, Palmer and Johnson tearing down the wings, Vaulks and Byers getting stuck in with Bannan orchestrating things then Windass, Gregory and Smith scoring goals for fun up front. Plus a few cult heros like Patto, Jack Hunt, Adeniran making cameo appearances. My other shout would be for Big Ron II - Di Canio, Rudi, Carbone, Alexandersson, a handsome Brazilian centre back, plus Des Walker, Pressman, Hinchcliffe, etc. all strutting their stuff. They didn't win away much, but were great to watch at Hillsboro. Played Fergie's soon-to-be treble team off the park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, rather than run the risk of facing him again Blackburn decided to buy him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 For me the team has to include Waddle, Sheridan, Hirst & Nilsson so 1992-3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overlandandsea Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Brian laws 06/07 side as it was my first proper season watching Wednesday. had us playing some good football with a partnership of tudgay and burton up top. all came crashing down when our best players were sold the following summer. also the 2012 team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wylde Kneeslide Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 77-78. Not because they were worldbeaters by any description but with Jacks arrival - we stopped losing so many and started to win a few - previous seasons from 70-71 when I first got interested were dire - just feel as though a corner was being turned - Tommy Tynan scored goals -regularly - no one since warboys & joicey had someone done this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBoyBeevers Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 The 2005 team has a special feeling for me. Just because most of them weren’t actually very good, but the determination and bond in the squad was so strong. It made them very likeable. The team was littered with limited footballers of real character or personality- Bullen, Lee Peacock, McGovern, Lucas, Heckingbottom. There was only a sprinkling of quality (a young Brunt and Whelan, MacLean at a push) but they were so tight knit and it was a team that made you proud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighworthOwl Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 2011/12 was a brilliant team. I know they don’t compare to the true great sides in terms of ability but you know players like Semedo, Llera, Reda and Jones all gave everything for the club. Some great games along the way and pipping that lot for 2nd place with the game against Wycombe. I was so proud to be a Wednesday fan walking away from the ground that day. Honourable mention to Carlos first season scoring great goals with quality players like Lee, Loovens, Forestieri, Bannan and co. Brighton playoff game was special. And last year the ups and downs and then Peterborough followed by Wembley. I love this club! I wish I didn’t but I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Since 1971 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 16 hours ago, Basement Jack said: While the 91-93 sides were probably the best side with a trophy For me the one I remember most fondly was Wilko’s promotion wining side of 83-84 Lyons, Bannister, Varadi, Megson Shelton Sterland Worthington……… Really good team and all in an era when football was more football and less business. I couldn't have put it any better myself. Not the best or most successful team of my decades watching Wednesday, but that team gave everything, were brave, strong, skillful, made you proud and generated some wonderful memories. Wilkinson's first couple of seasons felt very special, he had leadership and ambition rarely seen before or since. And maybe if the 91 to 93 squad had been managed as professionally off the pitch, they might have actually won more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
