Following on from the announcement of the ‘Sheffield Wednesday Dream Scene’ we would like to give supporters some food for thought over who they may consider worthy of a place in the prestigious painting.
Over the next week we will be releasing three lists of players you may wish to consider to be in the iconic dressing room setting, which Australian artist Jamie Cooper will bring to life.
Thank you to everyone who has voted so far, and please keep them coming!
