1. Martin Hodge
The star of one of the iconic Wednesday photographs, Martin Hodge played 246 times for the club between 1983 and 1988, playing 214 times consecutively to hold an English record. Left the Owls for Leicester before spells at Hartlepool, Rochdale and Plymouth. Returned to S6 as a coach in 1996 for an eight-year stint, joining Leeds briefly in 2004. Now works in scouting at Burnley. Photo: Getty Images
2. Mel Sterland
Another bona fide Sheffield Wednesday icon, the man they called 'Zico' enjoyed 10 hugely successful years at Hillsborough, making nearly 350 league appearances along the way. An attacking right-back ahead of his time in many ways, Sterland moved on to a short-lived spell at Rangers before becoming a Championship-winning icon at Leeds. The holder of one England cap, Sterland managed Boston United and Stalybridge Celtic before retiring. Photo: Getty Images
3. Peter Shirtliff
Pictured here upending Brian Robson in the 1991 League Cup final, Barnsley-born Peter Shirtliff was a rock at the back for the Owls in over 300 appearances across two spells, interspersed by a three-year sojourn at Charlton, who he now works for as a scout. Was manager of Mansfield following the departure of fellow former Owls Carlton Palmer and has coached at Tranmere, Swindown and Bury. Photo: Shaun Botterill
4. Mark Smith
Not many footballers make 350 appearances for one club, but Mark Smith did just that for Sheffield Wednesday across 10 seasons before joining Plymouth in 1987. A spell at Barnsley followed before various short-term moves. Smith's turn to coaching was successful, working as Sam Allardyce's assistant at Notts County before a stint back at Sheffield Wednesday, first as academy coach and then caretaker boss after the departure of Chris Turner. Now involved at Chesterfield. Photo: Getty Images
