Player Suggestion George Hirst

[Slim Man]

Yep.

If Ipswich want Anel tell them they can have him but we want Hirst.

They’re signing Broja so they’ll have him and Delap. Hirst isn’t going to be third choice.

Be uproar at the sty too

 

[Slim Man]

Didn’t realise he was out for a few weeks after an injury in pre season. I’d still consider it on a permanent basis.

Any striker who can put the chances away

 

[William Large]

Purely for shithousery it would be amusing. But when looking at his goal record, it’s not particularly impressive at all.

And his dad’s a to$$er!

 

[Wards]

He's really not. Decent bloke is Hirst snr.

Always got the impression that David Hirst was a decent guy. Yes he played for them and was their pin up boy, but I never got the impression that he was institutionalised into all things Wendy like some of their other has beens (i.e. Duck Waddle, and Pob Palmer). Hes also advised his son to move away from them in the past, so kudos for that too. Heard other stories too away from football where DH comes across well.

I wouldn't be against United signing George Hirst either if it was a cheap punt as he has talent, his problem is trying to remain off the treatment table.

A lot of the early 1990s Wednesday players used to drink in the bar where I worked and would stay for lock-ins. Woods and Hirst were both very down to earth and polite, but most of the others were exactly what you'd expect.

Sheridan once dropped Palmer in the Devonshire Arms for being an arrogant cock.

 

[Weasel]

Always thought Sheridan was a decent lad as well. Dropping that prick Palmer has just made me like him even more (or as much as I can with him being an ex star player for them who scored them the winning goal in the league cup final). Sheridan always came across as down to earth and gets on well with Wilder.

Sheridan was one of the finest midfielders I have ever seen

To be fair. He was a damned good player. Credit where it's due. Would have loved him and Hirst in the SUFC shirt.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Sheridan was one of the finest midfielders I have ever seen

Aye
Interestlingly (?!) he has managed Oldham Athletic on 6 separate occasions

 

[Champagneblade]

Always liked it that they got a corner in the 2-0 game and it blatantly wasn’t so he just passed the ball out of play for a goal kick.

I get a sense there was respect between those two sets of players.

Where was that mate?

 

[Geordie Blade]

Where was that mate?

The fairly big pub / restaurant up Ecclesall Road (past Banner Cross).

 

[Nah den]

He's really not. Decent bloke is Hirst snr.

Agreed, see him in the pub every now and then, nice friendly bloke.

I concur from a few interactions while on night outs back then. Hurst, Woods and Sheridan (before he'd had a few) were all down to earth and pleasant. Palmer was / is exactly the big timer you'd expect him to be. Warhurst was another tool from that squad - unbelievable and more impressive than Hurst in training though! Tricky Trev was an arrogant sod, as was Howard Wilkinson. The least pleasant of all though was Nigel Pearson - a full weighter!

Aye
Words never before seen in the same sentence ?

Wilder probably gets on well with his Dad.

Sort of signing Wilder would make to get under the Wednesday fans’ skin!
