Wednesday legend Finney dies aged 91

Sheffield Wednesday have announced the death of former winger Alan Finney at the age of 91.

Finney made his debut for the Owls at the age of 17, against Chelsea in 1951, and played 504 times and scored 88 goals in total for the club, making a post-war record number of appearances.

He scored his first league goal for Wednesday in a 6-0 victory against Everton in May of that year, when both clubs were relegated from the First Division.

Wednesday immediately bounced back to the top flight the following season, with Finney creating a formidable partnership with striker Derek Dooley.

Finney would go on to win another two Second Division titles, in 1955 and 1959, before being a regular part of the side which finished second in Division One behind Tottenham in 1961.

At the latter end of his career, Finney moved to Doncaster Rovers before retiring at Alfreton Town in 1968.
