James from the Wednesday Till I Die podcast

You mentioned 477 there.

But it's not just that.

I think it's the last seven or eight seasons he's played more than 40 league games.

And considering you only have 46 league games in a season, in some seasons he has played all 46, he's just a testament to the man.

And that's not 30 starts and 16 sub-appearances.

He starts every single game.

Barry Bannon just doesn't... He's never injured.

I think it was 2017, around Christmas time, was the only time where he had a prolonged period of time there.

where he's been out.

Yes, he's picked up a couple of red cards where he's had suspensions and he's missed one game here and there.

But we, as a football club, we just don't know what Sheffield Wednesday looks like without Barry Bannon because we haven't had that for so long.

But he just picks passes out that other players can't see.

Obviously, we've been in the Championship for a couple of seasons now.

We dropped down into League One and he stayed with us and...

I think we haven't had the squad since maybe, since probably 2017-18, to be fair, since we got to the playoff final, we got to the playoffs the season after.

The season after that, we had a good squad, it just didn't quite work.

And then after that, we've kind of tailed off and we haven't had...

many decent players from a, from a championship standpoint, really, you know, we have been in, in league one and things, and there's been occasions where he's picked out a pass that just, you know, it's not on the same wavelength of someone else.

They've not been expecting it or they just don't have that, that skillset to, to match, match him really.

But,
