Sheffield Wednesday debutant joins Curtis Jones and Adam Idah as triumvirate who made their mark on third round
The FA Cup third round has not been short of critics. Whether it be from managers, pundits or fans, whether the topic is team selection, match replays or (ironically enough) the absence of VAR, the venerable competition has been getting it in the neck. An antidote to this gloomy sentiment, however, is a two-minute video interview with the Sheffield Wednesday defender Osaze Urhoghide.
Wednesday beat Brighton 1-0 at the Amex Stadium on Saturday with a performance that earned plaudits from the Seagulls’ manager, Graham Potter. Urhoghide was making his debut at right-back and helped to keep a clean sheet in the process. But his post-match remarks went beyond the satisfaction of a job well done. In fact they articulated something of why the FA Cup is a tradition that should be celebrated, and protected.
