What an absolute treat I’ve just stumbled upon! Shame we couldn’t do Everton in that cup semi too (‘SHUTT!!! CARL SHUTT!!!). Same old Wednesday though… not always pretty but did them in their prime, like we used to do Man U in their prime 7/8 years later. Offside goal 😂😂… No penalty for Walsh!! 😂🙈 Loved it in them days!
If Dennis Bergkamp or Eric Cantona scored that goal, they would be talking about it for years. Goal of the season .:. That touch and finish or the one two the commentator likes to call it, very skilful, just the speed from the touch and finish most players would have hit it first time. But the touch then the finish was so fast, and beautifully placed very skilful indeed… world class. Not only that, it’s one of the best one two passes Ever in the premiership. Chris Waddle just holding the ball up waiting for the right time. With a perfectly weighted pass followed by the run from David Hirst. How was that not seen as the goal of the season? David Hirst and Chris waddles play individually would have been considered one of the best plays of the season. Putting them both together ? It’s not rocket science much of the day and pundits are so hypocrites.
Im a wednesday fan but playing manager games on my amstrad 64 A.Cork was ALWAYS a good buy . The good old days wen i was a lad and it took half an hour to load ur computer game . Ps . Crossing ur fingers that it didnt freeze 😅😂
I was at this game and can honestly say it’s my favourite away game of all time, first season back in the top flight and iirc beating the European champions. “We said we’d be back, and we are” 🦉👍
The Wednesday side of 1961 finished second only to the double-winning Tottenham team, so they must have been half decent, even though the terrible pitch detracts from it. Also, look at Hillsborough under development. The North Stand (Cantilever) has just begun its construction whilst the Leppings Lane is still non existant. This footage is a treat to see. *WAWAW*
I was there that day loads of Wednesday there and if my memory serves me right i remember it kicking off in the Maine Stand just near from where Swales was sat..Great days..
I was here remember this like yesterday Waddle was on fire, and we bought Pearce because Francis asked Hirst who did he dread playing against most, he said Pearce so we bought him
I was at this game with the Mrs, bought two tickets outside the ground off a tout. They turned out to be restricted view, lol. A great memory was the Kop clapping Wednesday off.
This is the First game I ever watched on TV with my dad .. I was 13 years old he was a life long Wednesday fan .. needless to say I’ve been a supporter ever since that day I remember being blown away with the football and that black and Gold kit … UTO 🦉
I was here! How good was the uncovered East Bank back in the day, when full it was a sight to behold. As high as Mount Everest to an 11 y.o. kid in 1969, and just as cold.
Cup double for Gunners. Ctedit goes to Sheffoeld Wednesday to produce good football in those 3 final matches in 2 cup final in a 7 weeks time at Wembley.
