THE WEDNESDAY ANTHEM

I have been re-reading Jason Dickinsons excellent book "The Origins of Sheffield Wednesday".

As if we needed reminding it proves what a remarkable piece of history the Wednesday Cricket and Football Club has been since 1820.

And what an absolute travesty it is that one man could end that glorious history.

The frontispiece quotes the following :

THE WEDNESDAY ANTHEM

Men of glory famed by story

Now recall your football glory

As your fathers did before ye

Play up Wednesday boys

Thee from hill and valley

See supporters rally

Friends are here from far and near

to see The Wednesday rally

Play the game and all that's in it

to the last deciding minute

For the Cup and may we win it

Play up Wednesday Boys!

I know I'm a sentimental old fool but I'm not ashamed to say the middle verse brings a tear to my eye.  Something our owner will never understand.

Well done to all supporters and friends who have rallied in these, our darkest ever days.  Well done to the trust and all who are trying to save our club.

Keep protesting, keep defunding him, we WILL win and Wednesday will rally once more.
