ANZOwls Comment

Summed up in a few words...

Big Pete Atherton played at Hillsborough for six seasons before being sold to Bradford City the season after Wednesday's drop from the Premier League in 99/00. The defender also skippered the Owls during a tough period for the club but was always highly regarded by the fans for his work rate and determination.

Atherton made 250 appearances for the Owls, scoring 9 times.
