Did you notice after our second goal that Paul Walsh had a different shirt to the rest of the team, a different shade of yellow; no blue collar and nothing on the arms?
Three memories of the day. We were held at a service station for an hour as the match was in doubt due to the icy weather. During the second half there was a massive roar. Apparently Wednesday were losing. Cue a chant of Jackie Charlton has fucked it up again.
Finally after the loss a Blade shouted at us as we boarded the coach that we should stay down with them. We went up and they were relegated to Division 4!!
Seem to remember Rotherham v Colchester was rained off so the TV went to Bramall Lane instead. We had to borrow a set of shirts from Wednesday as we'd only taken up a set with our sponsors name on them, those were banned on telly in those days. Utter mudheap of a pitch if I recall correctly.
Really enjoyed the match. Hatrick from Killer and Bremner playing for Hull. Colin Powell was really good and a great interview with Killer in the studio afterwards. Those were the days !

I had a look under “available episodes” on Sky and there is a FA cup programme from 1981, with brief highlights of our 5th round tie at Ipswich. Also, there’s a young Colin Walsh playing for Forest, they huffed and puffed to a win over Bristol City. They had a good excuse, they had flown to Japan and back the previous week for the world club championship.
Interesting interview with Brian Moore, Keith Peacock and a Fulham player whose name I didn't catch. They spoke like normal people, being honest about mistakes and issues in the team, seemed totally different from todays media trained and non-controversial players comments.

Martin Peters was player manager if the Blades.
I think that this was the game where Peter Shaw went on a Beckenbauerisq serging run.
Was this the away game where we wore a Sheffield Wednesday kit?

It was so bad, it was almost brilliant.
