6 goals as Sheffield Wednesday and Hull City go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Sheffield Wednesday and Hull City, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Nicholas Henderson steps up from the Sheffield Wednesday academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Nicholas Henderson has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
