Sheffield Wednesday captain, Barry Bannan, has added another EFL award to the collection

Sheffield Wednesday captain, Barry Bannan, has added another English Football League award to his hefty collection this week.

The Owls skipper is no stranger to EFL recognition over the years,

winning a number of personal accolades, and this morning it was confirmed that the 35-year-old has been

given the Goal of the Month award for December after his fantastic strike against Derby County

just two months after Michael Smith won the same one for a beauty at Portsmouth.

An article on the club’s website read, “Owls captain Barry Bannan has won the December Sky Bet

Championship Goal of the Month award.

The Wednesday talisman produced another stunning strike in our 2-1 win over Derby early last month…

Trailing 1-0 at Pride Park with over an hour played,

the skipper picked up possession 25 yards out and executed the perfect strike over both Rams keeper

Jacob Widell Zetterstrom and defender Eiran Cashin on the line.

“It was the start of an impressive comeback victory for Wednesday as Jamal Lowe scored in

stoppage time to register our first win at Pride Park since April 2006.

It was Bannan’s third goal of the season but since then,

the captain’s tally has moved to four having also scored in the return fixture at Hillsborough on

New Year’s Day when the Owls ran out 4-2 winners over Derby. Congratulations, Baz!”
