- VGC - prolific Wednesday winger Mark Hooper wins a ball in the box and scores the winner v Derby - result was 1-0 and the games on 3.11.34 and 12.10.35 both ended 1-0, the score shown on the back of this photo so this could be either of those games, assuming Hooper played in both. He was truly prolific - he joined Wednesday from Darlington in 1927 and scored 136 goals for the Owls, in all comps, still 5th on the all-time list for Wednesday . He joined Rotherham in Summer 1939. During his career he opened a tobacconist shop 200 metres from Hillsborough and it was open till the 1970's, when he sadly passed away aged 72 in 1974.
