Brown savours 'dream' debut for Owls
Brown: 'It's what you dream of'

Sheffield Wednesday forward George Brown says scoring on his Championship debut to help the side claim their first victory of the season is "what you dream of".
Brown scored the Owls' second goal against Portsmouth on Saturday as they won 2-0 at Fratton Park.
The 19-year-old, who is enjoying his first season with the senior squad after being promoted from the under-21s, took possession when Pompey defender Conor Shaughnessy pulled up injured and finished for his maiden senior goal.
"It's what you dream of. I couldn't ask for a better day, a better performance from everyone," Brown told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"When I found out I was starting, I was obviously buzzing and the only thing that could top it was to get a goal and that happened so an incredible feeling."
It's a moment that lingers in the imaginations of many young footballers breaking through and Brown is no exception. Though, his reaction to his first goal didn't quite go to plan.
"I think since the start of the season when I've been up with the first team, I've thought about how a goal would be incredible," Brown added.
"You kind of picture it before, what you are going to do, but when it actually happens you don't actually know what to do.
"I just saw absolute mayhem in the away end so I just thought I'll celebrate with them because it's what they deserve."
