Kingys Ginger Mullet Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 Friendly match v Canada apparently... https://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk/1987-canada-match-worn-home-shirt-4-v-sheffield-wednesday-canh86-mw-1.html Quote
Kingys Ginger Mullet Posted October 31, 2022 Author Posted October 31, 2022 Bit of detective work: - The match v Canada's National Team was 13/05/87 - We also appear to have played against Calgary Kickers (in their first ever game upon formation of the old CSL) on 22/05/87 in a pre-season tour by the looks of things... - Neil Megson (brother of Gary) played for the Kickers around that time so maybe the game came through that link. Or perhaps he signed for them off the back of new contacts made. Sources: https://www.howold.co/person/neil-megson-soccer/biography Quote
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 Fair to say no re-collection of that, post end of season for us and wouldn't have been much said about it Quote
HoylandOwl Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 I only remember it because I saw the programme in the shop on leppings lane about 3 weeks ago! 1 Quote
bricat Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 Didn't Neil Megson play a few internationals for USA? Quote

Aye, he played a few around that time in the late 80s. Bit of a reach but I wonder if he put some contacts and ultimately Big Ron onto Harksey and Meola?.. I know Blackburn and Celtic had a look at JH in trials also. Quote
Andyben Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 Slightly disappointed that @Sheffieldbluedidnt make it to Calgary Quote
