A classy goalkeeper who made 264 appearances for Sheffield Wednesday, Hodge made the move to Hillsborough from Everton in 1983 to become a club icon. A favourite of the Howard Wilkinson years, he later returned to act as goalkeeping coach.

Though the best years were perhaps behind him by the time he arrived at Wednesday, there is no doubting the career of Andy Hinchcliffe. He played over 200 times for the Toffees, winning the FA Cup in 1995, before making the move to Hillsborough in 1998. He played seven times for England. Ordinarily a left-back, he slides in on the left of a back three.

An icon at both clubs, Lyons was another to make the switch from Goodison Park to Hillsborough, doing so in 1982 having made 473 appearances for Everton. Known to many as the greatest captain Wednesday ever had, he was a tough, uncompromising central defender.
