So, where to start with the week that was? Liam Cooper won the club’s Player of the Month, and it was confirmed that Wednesdayites had done their thing once again by selling out their allocation of 2,342 tickets for Huddersfield Town away.
We’re running a 25% discount on annual subscriptions, by the way…
Will Vaulks showed once again what a tremendous person he was by involving Wednesday in his new Baton of Hope initiative, and Kelvin Stanford was appointed as the club’s new Head of Catering Operations. There was also footage of Di’Shon Bernard with some tremendous finishing in training, oh - and Fernando Forestieri has signed in the National League North with Oxford City.
Elsewhere, long-serving member of the behind-the-scenes team at Wednesday, Lindsey Hinton, has been handed a title change - going from ‘Club Secretary’ to ‘ Head of Football Administration and Operations’, which she says ‘helps the perception of what I actually do’.
With that, welcome to Sheffield Wednesday Mondays…
From our side, we had some comments on Davis Keillor-Dunn and the vital role that he could play going forward, and there were a couple of jumps around the club as Wednesday’s players represented their respective nations - here’s part one and part two of that.
Speaking of international football, there was a withdrawal for Logan Stretch, and Wednesday saw a request to get Will Grainger back early denied.
Dom and I sat down for a new episode of The Wednesday Word Show, and we also announced that he’d joined us on a permanent basis. As previously mentioned, we’re running a special that gets you a year of TWW for £37.50 to celebrate.
We had two pieces with Jaden Heskey, too. The first was him talking about a potential move back to Hillsborough that isn’t a loan, and the second was a long read that covered a whole host of topics such as his time spent with Manchester City’s first team, and how the Hillsborough crowd can make you feel ‘invincible’ - read that below.
‘It makes you feel invincible’: Jaden Heskey on Hillsborough, intensity and Sheffield Wednesday’s new era
Wednesday’s 2025/26 campaign was a torrid one. In many ways it felt relentless and unrewarding. It wasn’t the sort of place that many young up-and-comers would fancy playing, especially if they’ve been enjoying the comforts of Manchester City’s top-of-the-range facilities.
Devlan Moses missed a Northern Ireland youth game due to illness, Henrik Pedersen spoke about his big Wednesday wish, and there was a return to winning ways for Sheffield Wednesday Ladies as Amy Broomhead scored from the halfway line.
Delighted for Lindsey the club would not run without her
