They've had a cup win recently and a win at Wembley in the Charity Shield so a team that's sort of on the up you would say. They're always going to be one of those teams that will sell their better players but they seem to replace them and you know they've got some good players. So I thought that was a great result.""

Here's Sobs' match report from that day: The Red and White army mobilised again to follow the Lads to Hillsborough and simply blew the Owls off the park in the first half before understandably (but a tad frustratingly) easing up a bit in the second. Another Clarke brace followed Big Dan's headed opener and we were home and dry by half eight. With my football clock all over the shop thanks to a sequence of Saturday Wednesday Friday"

I think the lads did so good there especially the defenders and Robin they were unbelievable today and I think thats what kept us in the game. Clearly its why we won.

A classy football player who could have done so much more if it wasnt for persistent injury troubles. As a youngster Kirchhoff was a ballboy at Frankfurt whilst in their youth team.
