Wednesday fans aren't happy. You might remember the playoff semi-final they had against Huddersfield where he didn't take a penalty despite the fact he was a £10m centre forward. Their league Cup tie today also went to penalties, and the first person to step up for Huddersfield? Jordan Rhodes. Also saw an amusing fact that he has scored more goals at Hillsborough against Wednesday than for them, despite playing for them for four seasons and costing ten million pounds. Absolutely howling.
When he left Swillsbro on a free, one of their fans on Twitter did the sums on loan fees, transfer fees and rumoured wages for his tenure there - and then divided by number of goals scored. It worked out in total, every goal he scored for them cost just over £750,000! What a piece of business!
How come they were playing a league cup tie…. Is it for lower league clubs or something that I don’t need to bother about?
I had a young lad work for me (lives in Huddy) also called Jordan Rhodes. You owt to have seen the number of fit lasses who sent him messages and pics thinking he was that football blowk.
I wish you'd told me that before. Back in the day I would have changed my name to Ronnie Glavin. B0llox!
I've heard it doesn't work as well as has been alluded to here previously. Yours Sincerely, Mounir El Haimour
Remember going to Blackburn away ,midweek game, we played em off the park in football. Rhodes had 3 touches all night scored 2 . Was gutted we lost.
We was 1 nil up and hammered them. I remember. Our fans were none stop all game. I think rhodes got first and nuno gomez scored second. One of the worst best losses ever. We played like Brazil with the football
I thought we was 1 up, memory fading it felt like he got both. It was hard explaining to my Blackburn mate how good we were when we lost.
