Can you name these Wednesday legends.

Well Red, im not sure Colin Prophett would ever be in anyone’s list of legends nor Sam Ellis 

Whole hearted players no doubt 

Sam was quite ungainly and suffered in comparison to Vic Mobley who was more  of a classy player

I just felt that Prophett wasn’t a very good footballer 

I’m sure others may disagree .

Jimmy Mac was a neat little player but I was never sure his heart was in that blue and white shirt 

Just my opinions, as always 

that must be the first time vic mobley and classy have been used in the same sentence .......i agree with jimmy mac though he always seemed to  be hankering  for a move after he played for scotland in 67 .....

Heres three more to roll back the years,they all bring the memories back.

He was my favourite player of that era but never really fitted in with the disciplined approach Alan Brown brought to the club. Whilst he had a decent career I don't think joining us did him any real favours. But there was a general falling out with the club with a fair few of the players after Alan Brown left in Feb 1968 and particularly after they promoted Jack Marshall to be his replacement. The irony was that two of Wednesday's best ever performances came with Marshall in charge.

Feels like 3 different periods in the turnaround of the club.

Sadly I identify Jimmy Mullen with the dark days . Another trier and committed player but he was lacking  in some depts for me .

Shelts is from a time when it was all starting to come together.

It was getting to be fun to watch again 

Really liked him and cant think of any bad performances from him 

I guess the same applies to Lawrie

An unlikely footballer but always Mr Dependable. Always appeared to be 20 years older than the rest of the team .

Good days were back though 

torry,  I guess classy wasn’t the correct word to use with regard Vic in the previous post . I was just trying to draw a comparison with Sam that’s all 

This chap looks happy in the under 10's squad and went on to make over a hundred first team appearances for us.....???
