sheffstats Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I guess this would be the right sort of place for a little help with this one? I would be sincerely grateful if anyone can assist with identifying some of these squiggles for me. I inherited a piece of furniture from an elderly relative a while back and whilst clearing the contents I stumbled across an autograph book of some kind which I believe relates to Sheffield Wednesday Football Club. I have a vague idea of the main footballers from both clubs over the years however I don't have the level of knowledge required to identify them all. One of which I interpret as David Ford? A quick google search shows Ford to have played for Wednesday in the mid to late 60's? Therefore I would hazard a guess that the majority if not all of these autographs relate to this era. One spanner in the works however is that one of the autographs bizarrely says Leicester City which throws a spanner in the works somewhat? Are all of the autographs even Sheffield Wednesday players? https://ibb.co/fJiPUb https://ibb.co/ihnONw https://ibb.co/dGHJpb https://ibb.co/b8fhFG https://ibb.co/b6GNFG https://ibb.co/hEi8pb https://ibb.co/gADxhw https://ibb.co/mB0hFG https://ibb.co/c7A4Ub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Hardie Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 They are Wednesday players, I can't make them all out but the one's I can (loosely in order of your photo's) are as follows; Peter Swan Vic Mobley Doug McMillan Colin Dobson Howard Wilkinson John Quinn Don Megson Graham Pugh Gerry Young David Ford John Fantham They would date c. 1960's Some of the others are Tom McAnearney Peter Johnson David Layne Brian Hill and I think it's Derek Wilkinson, not Howard.

stpetre Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Gibson was one talented footballer. Saw him demolish Wednesday in a night match at Hillsboro' around 1962/3 Yes saw him Gibson, and Leicester team mates Bobby Roberts and Jackie Sinclair (I think all three were Scottish) give the Blades a runaround at the Lane around 1967ish. Derek Dougan and a young Peter Shilton also playing for the Foxes that day. Edited December 9, 2017 by stpetre Add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
