Post subject: Sheffield Wednesday scoring v who? |
|
|
I've only had this photo a few hours and it's doing my head in already.
It's stamped Sheffield Newspapers so is presumably at Hillsborough. It shows Wednesday scoring and their kit looks like 1973/4 or 1974/5 - give or take. But I can't recognise the scorer on the right and I definitely can't get their opponents. I've scanned it and blown up the main protagonists.
Can anyone help, please?
The scorer
The defender
The defender blown up with badge & Bukta crest?
My first thought was Orient as I thought it looked like Terry Brisley but their shirts of the day had red collars as here:-
And I've checked red shirts like Forest, Middlesbro, Swindon, Bournemouth, Bristol City and they didn't have a badge like that and didn't wear Bukta shirts. So what about a team usually in blue in change kit? Millwall? Ipswich? No match there. Or Plymouth in green? No match.
If anyone can help I'd be very grateful. Thank you again. |

75-6 Sheff Weds 1 Wrexham 0 maybe?
(Wrexham had Bukta kit that year, change of socks so no clash with Sheff Weds) _________________ Always looking for pre-1980 Cowes homes, pre-1987 Cowes aways, and any other bits and bobs relating to Cowes F.C. and I.W. football in general. Someone has to. |

Alan Thompson perhaps? (He had a tache previously, but...) _________________ Always looking for pre-1980 Cowes homes, pre-1987 Cowes aways, and any other bits and bobs relating to Cowes F.C. and I.W. football in general. Someone has to. |

This bloke doesn't look like a centre back like Thompson. It's more likely to be Mick Prendergast or Dave Sunley perhaps? |

You're probably right - I was just going off this pic from a couple of years earlier. Nose, eyes and chin look similar though.

Parting's on wrong side. Is Prendergast in your photo? |

According to my book "One hundred years at Hillsborough" and the photo looks like Wrexham's captain at that time Gareth Davis and if the date is correct the scorer in the 79th minute is a guy called Herbert who I profess to have never heard of. Sheffield Wednesday winning the game 1-0. |

Thank you efc and Rocky for that. Didn't take long with you experts on the case and saved me a sleepless night or two.
And I'd never heard of Mr Herbert either. 17 games, 5 goals. |

Hello - long time lurker, first time poster.
As a Wednesday fan I saw this photo on Ebay last week. I agree it's Wednesday v Wrexham, but think it's from March 5th 1977 rather than a season earlier.
The Historical Kits site (which I accept is not always completely accurate) gives the Wrexham kit as having a slight difference in 77 - there's no white panel behind the badge, and it doesn't look like there's one here. http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Wrexham/Wrexham.htm
I don't think the player is David Herbert either, he was born in 1956 so would have been 18/19 at the time of the game. Here's a picture of him celebrating v Grimsby on September 20th 1975 - also notice the difference in advertising hoardings.
The 1977 game finished 3-1 to Wednesday, scorers Denis Leman, Rodger Wylde, Bobby Hope. It's not the Hope goal, that was a penalty, and it's clearly not Wylde. Does look a bit like Leman though. The Wednesday player on the far side looks suspiciously like Paul Bradshaw, who we signed in the summer of 1976.
If time permits over the weekend I'll see if the photo appeared in any programmes to confirm. |
