Derek Wilkinson has passed away at the age of 82.
He made a total of 231 appearances for the Owls, scoring 57 goals, between 1953 and 1965.
The Stalybridge product was a direct, pacey winger who made an indelible mark at Hillsborough during his 12-year stay.
Derek was a key performer as Wednesday clinched the 1959 Division Two title, scoring 11 goals in 39 games.
I imagine Pei would have seen him play back in the 50's & 60's.

Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.
