Fans enjoy once in a lifetime experience

Posted on: Mon 02 Aug 2010

Two Sheffield Wednesday supporters enjoyed a once in a lifetime experience after being named the winners of 'money can't buy prizes' after the club held a draw exclusively for 2010/11 season ticket holder.

Lucky winners Terry Heeley and Glynn Wright had the rare opportunity to see their lifelong team in action at the Middlewood Road training ground.

Terry, who brought his grandson Ben Swales, 15, along to the ground, attended his first match when he was just 10-years-old and is now a season ticket holder on the Kop, said: "It was fascinating to watch the players train, to see how in shape they all are and how hard the manager works them.

"It was absolutely brilliant to meet Alan Irvine in person, he was such a gentleman, taking time to shake everyone's hand and chat with us."

Thrilled Ben said: "I have always travelled to Owls matches with Granddad so it was so nice to come here with him too."

The lucky recipient of the very first replica 10/11 away shirt to be signed by the squad, Glynn Wright, attended the training session with daughter and passionate fan Sam.

Glynn, who has been coming to matches for 32 years and regularly brings daughter Sam, said: "I was really pleased when Sheffield Wednesday called me to say I had won, I didn't even know I'd been entered into a draw to win the prize. The shirt is absolutely great I'm hoping to have it framed and what a privilege to receive it from Alan Irvine himself."
