Witham was a sub for the Burnley game and came on late in the 2nd half.

The Chelsea game in late dec 1966 was only Chelseas 2nd away defeat at that time having lost at anfield, but they were hampered by Bonetti withdrawing on the day of the game so a young scots keeper Tommy Hughes came in for his 2nd and last Chelsea appearance ( Ironically hed made his debut against the blades in a 1-1 draw the month before), it was played on very windy day, Chelsea were 4th in the table, Wednesday were 12th, McCalliog, in his 50th Owls game scored after 18 mins Ford scored just before HT. Tambling hit a piledriver with the wind at his back from just outside the box shortly after the break as Chelsea poured forward looking to get on terms but it was Ritchie who broke their determination with his first home goals, both headers and just 8 mins apart, McCalliog laid on the 5th for Fantham and with seconds on the clock Ford scored the 6th.

Hope thats jogged ya memory 😂

In the Burnley game Wednesday had a penalty for 8-0, McCalliog snatched the ball off Whitham who was on a hat trick and missed it.

It was Jack’s Wednesday debut and against his old club.

You’re right, I should have said his home town club.

Yeah I remember that, he was the dedicated penalty taker, everyone in the stands wanted Jack to take it for his hatrick and were screaming their feelings, loved jim McCalliog but we were all proved right.

McCalliog missed a pen against Southampton as well, when there was very heavy snow in the 2nd half and drew 0-0, he hit the post, this was two seasons later also in december, so he didnt get any better!

Your most emphatic penalty taker was Kevin Pressman. I only saw him take one, but definitely got the job done. 😲 🤣
