Through Gritted Teeth #42: Barnsley 1997

by Chris Ledger

Danny Wilson’s 1989 single ‘The Second Summer of Love’ contains the lyrics: “the first summer of love was here when I was much too young”. And they were right, I was too young to remember Danny Wilson’s first summer of love at Sheffield Wednesday; most notably, his goal in the 1991 League Cup semi-final and playing against Manchester City in February 1993 with two broken ribs. But I knew that he was a good player and well liked at Hillsborough.
