Quite simple really.

If you could bring back 1 player from your clubs past, which player would it be?

Tough one this.

One player who I never saw play was Keith Edwards, 171 goals in 293 starts, something the Blades could do with now. Euphraim (Jock) Dodds scored 128 goals in 203 games and was leading scorer for five successive seasons in the 1930's.

A player from recent times who I have seen and would want back is Alan Kelly, a great keeper and leader of the back. Kelly in his prime would have been rarely beaten in the Championship.

So many more but it would be one of those three and I just can't choose.

Not as simple as you think Lickszz

Don't get me wrong Duffman. I didn't think the answer was straight forward, far from it. I was referring to the question.

If your team is united then Edwards is a good choice. A natural goal scorer with a record that anyone would be proud of.

Keith Edwards the player, great! Keith Edwards Summariser on radio Sheffield, crap! He is to bias to the Blades at times, kind of how I would expect Warnock to be if he were commentating. But yes his record is a great one and after thinking about it I would choose him over Kelly and Dodds.

Either schmeichel or cantona at the minute.

Probably schmeichel.

mel rees (RIP) quality keeper,

maybe woodward or currie, both players of great esteem and will always be a part of our heritage

Di Canio - a real star and probably the best Wednesday player ever...

Can I have ante-post on this one? Gerrard. I'm certain we'll be bemoaning his departure next season (That's Stevie G for Liverpool, incase anybody's confused)

David Hirst was better, we need him back

And Des Walker!

Hirsty, Sheridan and Nilsson. The backbone of the greatest Wednesday side to have graced the hallowed turf of Hillsborough.

Lickszz
31-01-2005, 23:19
Des Walker, failing that Roland Neilson.

Well for Sheff U I thought Brian (Deano) was a fab player wish we had him back :bigsmile:

without a shadow of a doubt, it would have to be Eric "seagull" Cantona.

Billy Bremner

Epitomised what Leeds United were all about !

I want to say Chrissie Waddle, but for the good of the club and his effectiveness on the whole field, and as we are only allowed 1 player, it's John Sheridan, and that foot on the ball with his head up looking for a punt.

Mind you, Chris is the one that I most want to actually watch... a dropped shoulder here, a turn there... pure artistry!

Di Canio............jeeez are u having a laff????
Did you never see Waddle or Sheridan play?
For the older Wednesdayites like me it would have to be T.C (terry curran),Rodger Wylde (a god) or Gary Bannister

Some very good players mentioned so far.

If I was to bring back a player from our past it would have to be Peter Withe

To be quite honest, I don't think he's going anywhere.

I think Gianfranco Zola playing at his peak for Chelsea would be welcomed back into the team now.

Tony Currie - but only if his fitness and workrate was at today's levels.

Cantona for the Owls!

But this time, get Trevor Francis to give him a first team place ;)

Mike lyons, for sheffield wednesday, a great captain, and a good honest player. In my view, one of the best wednesday players ever.

Chrissie Waddle in recent years.

Ron Springett should have been England keeper not Banks.

Brian Robson when he was on the field an otherwise rather mediocre United team could beat anybody.

Wasn't that Willie Henderson?

Jimmy Johnstone the ex Celtic winger played for United about the same time.

Mick Jones for United.
Centre forward, never gave anything but 100%.

Tough one. Of all time possibly Colin Bell. Last ten years Georgio Kinkladze.

Tough one, Billy Bremner was mentioned earlier. Gordon Strachan is up there, but it has to be Tomas Brolin!!!!!!

I never saw Currie play, so I'll go for someone more recent;

Any from Brian Deane, Dane Whitehouse or Michael Brown.
