Blue and White Wizards: The Sheffield Wednesday Dream Team Daniel Gordon
Sheffield Wednesday's history has seen a remarkable change, a transformation from Third Division outfit to members of the Premiership. Here, 11 men take the reader on a trip through some of the extraordinary moments of the 1970s to the 1990s. From the Boxing Day Massacre of 1979 to the thrilling promotion in 1984, and from the Rumbelows Cup win of 1991 to the double Cup final appearances in 1993, each player recalls his most memorable occasion in the blue and white strips. Revelations abound from the men who contributed to the cause in their own way - the wizardry of Curran and Waddle; the artistry of Sheridan and Nilsson; the passion of Lyons and Pearson. All tell tales of life behind the scenes at Hillsborough. Then there are the local lads, Hirst and Sterland, the goals of Chapman and the record-breaking achievements of Hodge and Worthington. There is also a look at the managers, and two of the game's greatest names, Jack Charlton and Tom Atkinson, who are also included in Daniel Gordon's dream team. From triumph and celebration to defeat and heartache, these men reveal why Wednesday land will forever have a place in their hearts.
