Most hated Wednesday player?

I hate the club from top to bottom but to me there's always that one player who, when one hated player leaves, another takes up the baton. I'm glad the current one is suspended for next Tuesday.

 

None of them.

Hating a historically more successful club whose main rivals are another team is as tinpot as it gets.

 

Hate is a very emotive word - not sure I truly hate any player or Wednesday as a club. I enjoy beating them and am even more disappointed than normal when we lose but that's as far as it goes for me.

That said, I didn't like Terry Curran. I particularly didn't like D-I-W-A-N-K-I-O. And I didn't like and enjoyed baiting Fatty Sterland. There was one game at Oakwell when my Dad, brothers and I in the Brewery Stand gave him some real stick and it spread to others around us. Generally players don't acknowledge comments but that day we got to him, he didn't like it at all. I enjoyed that. Yes, I know that's a bit sad.

 

I don't hate forestieri, he hid in the play off final, let his team mates and the club down and halted their chances of going up.

 

Terry Curran

 

Proper fan.

 

Mel "zico" sterland ,the fat Wendy lovely person and he played for Leeds the fat lovely person , sithi.

 

But they were good enough to let us have two of the most gentlemanly players ever to pull on a red shirt for Barnsley.

Peter Springett's England days were long behind him but he came to us from our big neighbours with still plenty to offer. He was one of my favourite all time Reds goalkeepers.

Then there was Brian Joicey. Another one discarded but still good enough to do a job for us. I regret that I missed much of his time with us due to my exiled status in the 1970s but he was a prince among centre forwards, and a great goal scorer as well.

I've never understood this Sheffield Wednesday baiting. They've always been bigger than us, and probably always will be. That just makes it all the better when we beat them now and then.

 

When were Peter springetts England. Days

That was his brother

For me it's not about their players over the years, it's about their fans. They appear to be clones and universally hold the same opinion. For the last 8 years a wednesday workmate has been telling me " we will be in the champions league in 3 years", even when they were in league 1. Absolutely bonkers the lot of 'em.

Yes, got to be up there.

 

I'd forgotten him, he was a decent laker though.

 

Funnily enough I was talking to Sterland about 5 or 6 years ago in a pub in Sheffield. He was saying that he always used to get called a fat illegitimate from the Brewery Stand. One game he scored against us he said and ran past the Brewery Stand rubbing his stomach in celebration. He's enormous now and I wouldn't have recognised him if he hadn't said who he was. He was propping up the bar doing the old I was a professional footballer me routine and telling anyone who'd listen about himself. It reminded me of the hardest job in the world sketch from the Fast Show.

 

Just a bit of friendly rivalry for me, it's dem blunts I can't abide.

 

Sorry I should have been more specific. He had caps at both youth and Under 23 level, but never made the senior side.

Still a brilliant goalkeeper and quite a coup for us to get him in 1975. He played nearly two hundred games for us as well.

 

No, but plenty can't help getting worked up about them. I'm a realist. There are big football clubs in the world, who will always be big. Then there are smaller ones who might flirt with a higher status now and then, but slip back down eventually.

Wednesday have always had more than their share of fans who believe their club is bigger than it is, and "deserve" to be much higher. Leeds are the same of course. But that doesn't stop these clubs being fairly high up the food chain in the grand scheme of things.

I'm happy to see them sculling around with "the likes of Barnsley" and seeing us as small fry. If we beat them twice this season it will be a fluke. It's our cup final next week. We all know how it goes.....

 

Exactly the same.

I don't get worked up that Wednesday are having a bit of success, but it's fvcking hilarious that dem Blades are towing to get out of that league.
