Wings of Steel tells of Iain Paterson's quest to uncover the story
of his great uncle, a football star before World War I with
Motherwell, Sheffield Wednesday and Scotland - once described as
the best outside-left in Britain. Among the treasured mementoes
inherited from his late grandmother was a shoebox full of
photographs of family and friends long departed - the most
fascinating being those of an unknown young man in vintage football
kit sporting a Scottish cap dated 1910. As Iain discovered, his
mother's older brother was Motherwell's first international player,
the man responsible for Sheffield Wednesday becoming known as the
Owls - and the figure at the heart of a mysterious riot following
an international match in politically sensitive 1913 Dublin. Wings
of Steel aims to set the record straight on many inaccuracies
attached to George's story over the years, and to discover where
George finally ended his days.
