But what of those dearly departed friends – some fan favourites, some sadly not so?

A handful remain free agents, some have new clubs and one loanee even saw his contract terminated on his return from South Yorkshire.

Wednesday offered a contract to Mendez-Laing, who had only been with them for a few months and had struggled with injury. He eventually moved on to sign for rebuilding League One rivals Derby County and was unveiled shortly after their embargo was lifted.

Another short-term Wednesday man whose time at S6 was decimated by injury, Gibson looked a tidy player in his brief time in blue and white.
