How Sheffield Wednesday players reacted to Glenn Loovens' Owls departure

Fans love him and unsurprisingly, he is held in the highest regard by his Owls team mates.

That was apparent after the skipper posted a message on his instagram account regarding his leaving Wednesday at the end of this season.

Loovens posted: "My time has come to move on. I enjoyed my 4,5 years stay at this great club and want to thank everyone of you that made it so special. I wish you guys all the best for the future and hope that you get what you deserve."

His team mates were quick to respond and 'it was a pleasure' was the general theme.

Fellow defender Daniel Pudil posted: "was a pleasure to be playing next to you skipper" and Barry Bannan added: "Pleasure to be in the same team as you mate great leader and most of all a great guy"

Lucas Joao posted: "SKIP what a pleasure, thank you for everything" and Jack Hunt wrote: "Captain ❤️ what a guy!!"

Fellow Dutchmen Joost van Aken and Joey Pelupessy have both spoken in the past about how much of a help Loovens had been to them when they made their move to South Yorkshire.

Van aken posted: "Skip was a pleasure to work with you, thanks for everything," with Pelupessy similarly adding, "Thanks for everything Skip!"

Fernando Forestieri, meanwhile, went all out: "Excellent player inside and outside the pitch Capi it was an honor sharing the dressing room with you. Good luck with your new adventure buena suerte amigo!!!"
