Bypassblade Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Hirsty is a great character and will hopefully bring an experienced head to offer advice to the academy lads. I watched the compilation of his goals that some one posted on Youtube recently, you actually forget what a great striker he was, power, pace and the variety of goals is incredible, Sheffields best ever player??? Laugh, I thought my pants would never dry, he was a good scorer but best player, go and lie down for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulo Di Canio wasn't far off, he was an amazingly talented footballer, different to Hirst but without a shadow up there with Hirst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDC was a bit special mate,i cant deny that,but we only had him for two years,hirsty did the business for eleven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptoe Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Last I saw of Hirst, he was in no shape to be doing coaching His input could, even if not coaching, could be invaluable though. Coaching, He's driving the team bus. :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with both of that, I'd have both players back although I don't have many other strkers to compare them with in my shirt time of watching Wednesday. Hirst should of been brought in on the coaching side a long time ago, even if only passes on a little of his knowledge it will be invaluable to the youngsters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh you can't deny Hirtsy's time at the club was a lot longer but talent wise, personally I would say Di Canio was even better than Hirst m8. Hirst's career was hindered massively with injury, that held him back really from him becoming a "true great" in the football world as a whole.

Cant argue with that,shearer wouldnt have played anywere near the amount of international games,if hirsty had been fit.And shearer was a cracking player.

Aslong as they are a Wednesday great that will do for me:) it's hard tho compare the 2 anyway. Pdc had the Italian flair aswell as an eye for goal whereas Hirst knew how to score with pretty much any part of his body, I'm sure a lot of English strikers could learn alot a lot from him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
