Why is this your favourite shirt? CHRIS WADDLE.

​

Are there any particular memories that come back when you see or think of this shirt? Just watching Chris Waddle in the long sleeve shirt, working his magic on the wing with those crosses. Another top memory was it was my first ever Wednesday shirt my mum bought me, with ‘Woody’ on the back.

 

In your opinion who was the best player to wear this shirt? Waddle, Hirst or Bright.

 

And the worst? All great players in my opinion but Nigel Worthington wore the shirt and I only picked him for the one reason of watching that Steve Bruce header go in at Old Trafford.

 

How do you rate the shirts of today compared to years gone by? No comparison in my opinion. The shirts of years gone by are just classic, from the designs, simplicity and they’ve aged so well, hence why fans of today all go retro.

 

You've got quite a collection as seen on your Instagram account. Is there anything that you're looking to add to your collection that you haven't got already? I really want a long sleeve version of the famous 1993/94-1994/95 black away Wednesday shirt.

 

Why do you support Sheffield Wednesday? Ever since the 1993 FA Cup final against Arsenal. 5-year-old me just loved the blue 'n' white stripes.

 

What was the first game you went to and what was the score? My first Sheff Wed game was against Arsenal at Hillsborough on 26/09/98. We won 1-0 and that was the game where Di Canio pushed the ref over!

 

Do you think that you'll go up this time? We’ve had a mixed run up to the playoffs and there are some tricky sides in that group, but being a Wednesdayite you’ve always got to back your team!

 

Your best Wednesday XI from your time supporting the club? Chris Woods, Des Walker, Nigel Pearson, Roland Nilsson, Andy Sinton, Carlton Palmer, Chris Waddle, John Sheridan, Benito Carbone, David Hirst, Mark Bright
