Goalfests and a David Hirst winner - EIGHT of Sheffield Wednesday’s best Boxing Day wins

Up until last year’s fateful 3-2 defeat to Stoke City, Sheffield Wednesday have had a pretty good record in recent years on Boxing Day – but what are some of the Owls’ best wins on one of the UK’s biggest sporting days of the year?

Wednesday face Blackburn Rovers tomorrow afternoon as they aim to secure back-to-back wins for the first time in a year, and build on their 1-0 victory over Coventry City a week ago.

It’ll be the fifth time that SWFC have faced Rovers on Boxing Day, winning 2-0 in 1949, then drawing 2-2, 0-0 and 0-0 in 1955, 1997 and 2013 respectively.
