How would you like to Live Your Dream of running out at Hillsborough alongside a Sheffield Wednesday Legend before taking part in a 90-minutes match on the hallowed turf?
Well now’s your chance as Sheffield Wednesday FC have once again joined forces with Football Aid – www.footballaid.com – to give fans the opportunity to play at Hillsborough in 2014 and raise valuable funds for charity at the same time.
Football Aid offers Owls fans the unique opportunity to experience a matchday in the same way the likes of Kirkland, Llera and co do every other week. Players will gain exclusive access to the pitch and tunnel areas, pull on their own personalised shirt in the official changing rooms, walk down the tunnel to the sound of a cheering crowd and step out on the pitch and represent The Owls in a never to be forgotten 90 minutes of football!
To add to that, the matches at Hillsborough have also been supported by a host of fantastic Owls legends in recent years, with the likes of Football Aid Ambassador Lee Bullen, Lawrie Madden, Brian Laws, John Pearson, John Sheridan (and many more) all lending their extra special support by playing alongside or managing the fans on their big day.

Wednesday fan Chris Whitfield told Football Aid about his experience after last year’s event:
“Ever since I was a young lad supporting the club, I have always wanted to walk down the tunnel and enter the pitch with my team’s shirt on. The sense of pride and achievement I got when walking out onto the pitch was amazing.
he staff was excellent with us and helped with any queries we had. The response from spectators was that it was a great experience to watch, and something they were proud to do.
t is a fantastic opportunity to ‘Live the Dream’ and I would recommend it to anyone without a shadow of doubt. It’s a great cause and you get something back from it also! I think it is safe to say, I’d love to do it again!
hanks again for the great experience, and I will look forward to putting on the shirt again!”
