Palmer has had a fantastic season in Owls colours in 2022/23, playing more minutes than any other player in the squad so far as his performances and goals have helped them mount a very serious title challenge.
The Wednesday academy graduate recently overtook the likes of David Hirst, Peter Shirtliff, Willie Layton, Des Walker and Tom Brittleton over the course of the campaign so far, and his appearance against Bolton saw him leapfrog Tom McAnearney to make it into the club’s top 15.
Sadly his 383rd appearance wasn’t a victory as the team drew 1-1 at home against Bolton Wanderers, but that takes nothing away from the achievement as he continues to write his name in club history.
The next player on the list, Ron Springett, should be overtaken before 2022/23 is out - we took a look at the others who sit above ‘Palms’ in Wednesday’s all-time list of appearances.

2. Nigel Worthington - 417
The man from Ballymena spent 10 years with the Owls - joining in the season they earned Division Two promotion (1984) and leaving in 1994 after the success of 1991 and nearly year of 1993.
3. Ellis Rimmer - 417
Between 1928 and 1938 Rimmer became a huge part of a very successful Owls era. Won two first division titles in 1929 and 1930, before helping them lift the FA Cup trophy and Charity Shield in 1935. Scored 140 goals - one of the highest scorers in club history.
4. Mark Hooper - 423
Hooper’s Wednesday career was almost identical to Rimmer’s - except for the fact that he was himself a local lad from Sheffield. Two league titles, two cups, and 136 goals for the winger.
