I get visited by the bloody beer monkey late at night most Fridays. Somehow he always empties my wallet, ruffles my hair and dumps in my mouth just before Saturday morning starts.......... Back on topic though, favourite owl has to be the Eurasian eagle-owl just for his scientific monicker (Bubo bubo) ................. proper name, that.

Red Skin Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 8 hours ago, oldstandrobin said: 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. Nice memory. Thanks for sharing it. Maybe you should rename yourself Owlstandrobin? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we had a few more "average" players of Maynard's standard now! During his 20+ goal season in the Championship with is he was massively better than average..!

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. From that era preffered Tony Currie, but wrong side of Sheffield.

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. I am surprised nobody has pulled you up concerning this picturesque, but fictitious, owl. Your realism, CA, extends to today's scoreline - now that would have been considered fictitious prior to kick-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
