Former Sheffield Wednesday striker Gary Hooper has finally found a new club following his release in the summer.

One supporter claimed the 5 foot 9 forward was the best finisher he had ever seen in south Yorkshire while another stated he was still reeling from his departure.

‘Cracking’ and ‘amazing’ were two other words used to describe the former Celtic man.
