Ridiculous amount of pressure on the lad. The first player I always think of with you lot is Nicky Maynard. And he ALWAYS scores against us, without fail.

oldstandrobin Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 As a few on hear know from previous posts, my old man worked for Ashton Containers and got moved oop North in 1965 Sadly, nearest club was either Chesterfield or Mansfield and having just been promoted from Div 3 at the gate, we couldnt drop down two divs for our football, so chose Wednesday ( which meant a respray of my rattle and a blue and white scarf ...................I know, you CAN get used to it !!!!!. Went to Wembley for the 1966 final as a 16 year old and had a great day out, sadly being eclipsed by my ( and Cyderedinacan's) gran-dad having a heart attack and passing away that evening. Whenever we play the Owls I hope for a draw normally, but as we need the points, sorry boys at Hillsborough, we would appreciate the 3 and you carry on getting from the others and get back into the top flight. Pictured here is the 1966 Cup Final Team. All good in my book especially the great, late Ron Springett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very good for us until he got injured, I don't think he was the same player after that and annoyed quite a few people with some childish comments when he left.

Jack Dawe Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Anyone remember the Eagle owl that was spotted in Bristol a few years back? Didn't the Post run a story saying he was here to watch Yannick Bolasie? Aggressive buggers these, mind...this one, below, was up Gloster....weird cider up there though... Big buggers, and aggressive. I wouldn't like to see Rotherham's Halford meet one of these in a dark alley without Neil Warnock to keep him safe...

Jack Dawe Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Terry Curran, for the older browsers? One of the 70s mavericks that never makes it into Football Maverick books or ITV4 programmes. Great attacking mid in his day though. Played in the late 70s Sheff derbies in Div 3 where the crowd was 42k at Utd and 49k at Weds. In Div 3! Think he scored too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah purely tongue In cheek comment no offense caused just made me realised how average we have been if a pretty average player like Maynard is what we are remembered for.

cidered abroad Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Cyclops owl which is very rare in Britain but heard them every night while living in Portugal. It's call is very similar to an electronic bleep and while we never actually saw them in the dark, it was fascinating to listen to a pair calling to each other as they hunted. The bleeps from each one got closer together, the closer they got to their prey. As for Wednesday, for a short time, I worked with Jack Wilkinson who played for Man City and Wednesday in the 1950's when "Golden Boy" Albert Quixall was a star Owl. He was in their team when City played them and won 3-2 1955-56. Only 32,000 bothered to turn up, the second highest of the season. (Highest was 38,000 against the Unmentionables) Realism tells me that we will do very well to get a point let alone a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
