Sheffield Wednesday: Joint birthday for Owls goalie
0 Have your say Today is a diary date for a few Sheffield Wednesday folk. It’s the 34th birthday of chief executive Katrien Meire while goalkeeper Cameron Dawson turns 23.It was also the birthday, back in 1924 of Matt ‘Laurie’ MacKenzie. He signed for the Owls from Clydebank for the princely sum of £25 in March, 1946!

Sheffield Wednesday: The first six months of Jos Luhukay’s Owls reign
0 Have your say He began his reign with one for the purists: a dull, goalless stalemate when his side shut up shop in pursuit of Steel City derby credibility. He signed off for 2017/18 with a five-goal blitz as his Sheffield Wednesday side finished their Championship campaign with a flourish.In between, came a mix of good and not so good.

Darren Gough: Why Leeds United are a ‘basket case’ and why Sheffield Wednesday fans should be ‘concerned’
0 Have your say JUST what has happened to Yorkshire football? It is really sad for me to see us going backwards when I see football thriving in London and the North West.Over the last 20 years, every one of our clubs, in spells, have had bad management and/or owners and made bad decisions, with a number having had stints in administration.With the power of football these days and money that has come into it, it seems to have affected many Yorkshire clubs’ judgement more than most.It just seems Yorkshire football is failing us. Look at Leeds Rhinos, who have consistently won trophies over the years. Then, there’s Yorkshire CCC, who have had a relatively recent resurgence, winning trophies.Every time we go to major World Championships, Yorkshire brings home loads of medals. Look at the Olympics and the recent Commonwealth Games.But what is happening to football? We do not even have FA Cup semi-finals any more at Hillsborough or Elland Road. The support is there, … [Read more...] about Darren Gough: Why Leeds United are a ‘basket case’ and why Sheffield Wednesday fans should be ‘concerned’
