Another ex Sheffield Wednesday reply and another old team photo.
This time the cards and photo were signed by Jack Whitham who is now a European Scout for Wolves.
Jack Whitham played for Sheffield Wednesday, Liverpool, Cardiff City and Reading. He was a Centre Forward who only started 111 league games in a nine year career between 1967 and 1976, scoring 40 goals. He made one appearance for the England under 23 team against Wales in 1968.
From 1993 until 2007 Whitham was a part time scout for Sunderland FC and in 2007 he joined Luton Town as Chief Scout. After Luton Town went into administration in early 2008 Whitham went to Wolverhampton Wanderers for a short spell before becoming head of player recruitment at Sheffield United. He left Sheff Und in June 2010 to become European Scout back at Wolverhamton Wanderers
Away from football he is a well known singer/songwriter around the acoustic music clubs in the South Yorkshire area.
His grandfather Thomas Whitham of the Coldstream Guards had won the Victoria Cross in 1917 for attacking single-handed an enemy machine gun post.
