Born in 1973 at Nether Edge, father a blue and white, grandfather a blue and white. Sadly moved away from the city when I was a little boy. I was born a Wednesdayite and that is that. I work in Business Development (I hope this is useful information).

For some inexplicable reason that is much to the annoyance of the aforementioned family members my brother supports Nottingham Forest - he was seduced by Clough in the late 70's and early 80's, this was pre-miners strike so it wasn't a political move on his part - he is a bona-fide idiot according to many. He could have opted for following the Millers, which would have been more acceptable given that my mother is Rotherham lass by birth and her dad, my other Grandad was a Rotherham fan. Christmas dinner is a tense affair at Chateau Shibboleth.

I have a partner of many a long year, two children (girls) who have been indoctrinated into the cause and follow the Wednesday - they have no idea what league we are in, who megson and mandaric are. For some reason they like JJ - he's a jamaican like their mother. We have another nipper on the way and I can only think of boys names, any suggestions would be welcome - so far I have Rambo, Fred Perry or Dave Dave as first choices. If I have a third daughter and she is born on a Wednesday I have decreed to the 'trouble and strife' that one of her middle names will be Wednesday.

No name makes a statement quite like one with the prefix “The” in front of it. So in that spirit I suggest you call the expectant arrival “The Fury”

I have 4 children, all boys and feel I have done my bit to try and get a good footballer into SWFC in the next 15-18 years.

However I have low hopes for my 5 year old, he is far too clever to be a footballer,
'Today I was able to tell my teacher that she used alliteration'
Imagine my horror and confusion at this intelligent outburst!

Maybe my 4 year old 2 year old and 10 month old could make it though (the 2 year is left footed too!)

I hope my 14mth old does his dad proud and wares the blue n white stripes one way, think he likes being a keeper as he's always rolling the ball down to me then when I kick it back he'll stretch out for it....and stop it, thats my boy . Got no hopes for my Daughter though, ive failed her, she always wants to wind me up saying "Sheff Utd, Sheff Utd". Besides she hasnt got any ounce of intrest in the beautiful game let alone Wednesday, she's all Justin Bieber, JLS....BBLLLLAAAAUUUGGGHHHH!!!! Ive even failed her on musical tastes too
, she takes after Mrs Mega Milan im afraid

Im however determined that Mega Milan Jr dosnt go down the same path, life wouldnt be worth living if he takes after his sis

Shib... u r funny

Mega Milan, I have singlehandeldey dragged my daughters (13 and 7) into the realms of acceptibility when it comes to music taste. I nhave spoilt their childhood by highlighting, at evry given opportunity the fact that no pop starst today are chosen for their musical ability, only for their looks. They have been immersed in Detroit Techno ( Mills, Hawtin, Hood etc etc.) since birth coupled with my ravenous appetite for industrial metal ( NIN, Revco, Ministry, Front 242, Nitzer ebb etc.).

Disappointingly they succumbed to the national sport of playing that chuffin' Adele song every five minutes - this habit has only just started to lessen in the last two weeks.


The youngest daughter likes QOTSA's ' feel good hit of the Summer' she is only seven years old, so I let her listen to the instrumental.


The family band is - Sly and the family Stone - it is the only thing that we can all agree to listen to when we are all in.


This post has me wondering if between us we can manufacture a future Wednesday eleven wioth any of our offspring.

We have a goalkeeper for a start off. Discount my girls, they are uselees. the last time I played them both I won 11-9 (genuine score), that was enough for them.

Well, my Daughter, despite her faults in musical tastes does actually like "Kings and Queens" by 30 Secs and "Motorcycle Emptiness" (My fave all time une, what a tune).

Dude, i would hide that bloomin Adele CD or delete it from their i Pod staight away, that mardy lookin brat is banned in Mega Milan Manor, Good singer but her songs are truly, truly, unforgivably AWFUL!!

606 Wednesday XI?

Wages will be much less and I can't see them being any worse than the youth team

posted on 19/8/11

Born in Sheffield, lived in the 'L' place and Bradford since '89. Four kids, 2 of each (not from Tarn so couldn't have one male, one female, one mefale and one faleme). All Wednesdayites except the youngest who hasn't discovered football yet, thinks he's Indiana McLightning Jones or something, but he is left footed.

Eldest lass is the best, lives with a L@*ds fan who keeps asking her to go to that place in Beeston with him, to which she replies " why the furk would I want to do that ?". She also once decorated an egg as Regi Blinker one Easter which went down a storm in her L**ds primary school. Needless to say she didn't win the egg competition.

Eldest lad pretends he's given up, has moved to Rushden and supports Bradford Bulls, but still buys a Wednesday shirt every year.

Youngest Girl is 13, nuff said.

Youngest lad, well, you need a visa to get into his world.

And yes, there are some huges gaps in ages, 24, 22, 13 and 6 (7 ont' 23rd). Should've had that vasectomy like Brigg.

Musical taste from all is pretty good, no pop or Xfactor shoite in our house.

PS Sparty, can you check my spelling and punctuation please ?

Born in Newcastle in 76. My Mum is from Leeds (but we forgive her) and my Dad's from Sheffield.

Was born into it really, first match was Luton at home in early 82 (I think). I've been hooked ever since.

Moved to the US 11 years ago for a year and missed my flight home. Married to an American, 1 girl (22 months) and one on the way. Not much chance of moving "home" in the near future.

I could probably get into the 606 Wednesday XI as I'm the youngest here!

Anyway from Ecclesfield, about to go to Hillsborough, have a girlfriend. Not much has happened.
