The GOAT, FA Cup winners and a new addition - A definitive list of Sheffield Wednesday's top scorers ever
Sheffield Wednesday’s top scorer ever got 215 goals for the Owls, and it’s a number unlikely to be beaten anytime soon...
Andrew Wilson isn’t a man that will be remembered by many these days given that his two-decade-long spell with the Owls took place in the early 1900s, but as the man with the most appearances and most goals for the club it’s probably safe for him to go down as the clubs’ greatest of all time. 20 years is quite the commitment.
Unfortunately a lot of Wednesday’s top scorers are names that many of the current generation of fans won’t know, or will have only heard of from stories from their parents and grandparents, with only a handful of those who have scored 50+ goals for the club having done so since the 1990s.
With that in mind we spoke to Owls historian, Jason Dickinson, for a definitive list of all of those who have hit a half-century in Wednesday colours, putting together a definitive list of the club’s top goalscorers - ranging from FA Cup winners and promotion-achievers to modern day cult heroes and bonafide club legends.
