Episode 16 - Al & Val talk Norwich City and Sheffield Wednesday

Next up one of England's grand old clubs - and there's plenty to talk about when we look back at Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich City;     1. A true 'sleeping giant' Wednesday has a proud history, passionate fan base and an iconic stadium;     2. An unforgettable couple of games in 2018/19 - four-nil at Hillsborough then Carrow Road with Forestieri, handballs and Mario to the rescue;     3. 'The Wednesday' attract record crowds to Newmarket Road and The Nest;     4. Norwich v Sheffield Wed - our debut on Match Of The Day;     5. 1982, Hillsborough and a most dramatic of promotions;     6. Three Canary legends bowing out in Sheffield
