The Owls face Cardiff on Saturday afternoon in their first game of the Championship season, so we thought we’d have a look back at the team that beat the Bluebirds 3-0 to secure a spot in the 2016 Play-Offs – it was a good day.
9. Gary Hooper
The hero on the day in 2016, scoring two. He found his scoring form in Australia last season at Wellington Phoenix, with the 32-year-old forward getting eight goals and five assists in 21 A-League matches prior to picking up a knock at the end of the season. Photo: Steve Ellis
10. Lucas Joao
The Portuguese forward has enjoyed a blistering start to the 2020/21 season after bagging a hattrick in the Carabao Cup for Reading last weekend. The Royals paid a reported £5m for the forward last year. Photo: Matthew Lewis
11. Fernando Forestieri
After shooting up Wednesday scoring charts over his time at the club, Forestieri's spell at Hillsborough came to an end a couple of months ago after he wasn't offered a new contract. He this week signed for Serie A outfit, Udinese, after links with their sister club, Watford. Photo: Nigel Roddis
12. Jeremy Helan
Helan shocked the football world a few months after almost helping the Owls to promotion into the Premier League, announcing his retirement 'concentrate on religion' at the age of just 24. Photo: Richard Heathcote
