Euro 96 started 30 years ago tomorrow.
One of my favourite summers ever.
The opening titles on the BBC and ITV always played a huge part in giving a tournament its own character and helping to create memories that last a lifetime.
Here they are back-to-back, with the BBC first…
🚨🦉 Important Announcement🦉🚨
A new friend of Sheffield Wednesday and the Supporters Trust, who prefers to remain anonymous, has been incredibly impressed by the outpouring of support for the effort to raise money for this important cause and has made an incredibly generous pledge to match every gift, up to £35,000 raised by supporters towards this effort.
We’re currently on £27,910, meaning we need to raise the final £7,090 to unlock the full £35,000 contribution.
If we do, a £35,000 supporter-led campaign becomes a £70,000 investment in Sheffield Wednesday supporters and young people across our community.
That means more season tickets, more match tickets, more mascot experiences, more shirts, and the chance to reach even more children who dream of being part of Sheffield Wednesday but may never otherwise get the opportunity. It means creating memories with parents, grandparents and friends that will last a lifetime, helping young people feel connected to their club, their city and their community. The donor has recognised just how important family and community are in Sheffield, and wants to help open the door for the next generation of Wednesdayites.
The donor recognised something we’ve all seen: when Wednesdayites are given the chance to help one another, they step forward. In discussing the donation, they impressed upon us a simple message:
“We’re All Wednesday Aren’t We?”
That spirit is exactly what Sheffield Wednesday is about.
This fanbase has already achieved something remarkable.
Now we have the opportunity to turn £35,000 into £70,000.

On this day in 2023, Sheffield Wednesday completed the Miracle of Hillsborough! 🔥
Coming behind from 4 nil down against Peterborough after the first leg! 🤯
Is this one of the greatest comebacks in football history? 🤔 🦉

25-27 years old Djok from 2012 to 2014:
3 out of 12 slams won
33-36 years old Djok from 2021 to 2023:
7 out of 10 slams won
I’ve never seen a “GOAT” who was rated so low at the age of 27 & then brainwashed people into thinking he magically improved after beating cam norrie types in slam finals 😭
Is there any credibility in the #SPFL ? I have seen nothing to suggest corruption isnt rife. That was a disgrace, for the good of the game, Hearts need to win the league.
For too long, people have been shut out and left behind.
@UKLabour was elected to change that by putting power back in the hands of ordinary people.
We’ve chosen our side.
Tomorrow, you can too.
Profound words from @POTUS this morning:
"Long before Americans had a nation or a Constitution, we first had a culture, a character, and a creed. Before we ever proclaimed our Independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts — moral courage — and it came from a small but mighty kingdom across the sea.
For nearly two centuries before the Revolution, this land was settled and forged by men, women who bore in their souls the blood and noble spirit of the British. Here, on a wild and untamed continent, they set loose the ancient English love of liberty and Great Britain's distinctive sense of glory, destiny, and pride — and that's what it is, glory, destiny, and pride.
The American Patriots who pledged their lives to Independence in 1776 were the heirs to this majestic inheritance. Their veins ran with Anglo-Saxon courage. Their hearts beat with an English faith in standing firm for what is right, good, and true.
In recent years we have often heard it said that America is merely 'an idea' — but the cause of freedom did not simply appear as an intellectual invention of 1776. The American founding was the culmination of hundreds of years of thought, struggle, sweat, blood, and sacrifice on both sides of the Atlantic.
Fate drew a long arc from the meadow at Runnymede to the streets of Philadelphia that ran through the lives of people born and bred on the British code that 'no man should be denied either justice or right.'
American Patriots today can sing 'My Country 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty' only because our colonial ancestors first sang 'God Save the King.'"
