the reason I'm a wednesday fan, he stopped to talk to us outside the ground when I was about 8 and I was starstruck, didn't know what to say to him.. proud to have witnessed him..legend
deceptively quick too, he'd turn a defender and it looks like they're running through glue to try and catch him. best centre forward we've had in my lifetime (41) WTID
I remember him quite well. Jesus, he had everything, I think injuries curtailed his England career to be fair to Shearer. To be honest, those two together would have been some partnership.
Michael Henaghan too right!! He was strong, fast and he could score from anywhere. Sad thing is he never really got a chance at international level and he had too many injuries. Imagine if Messi, Ronaldo etc. scored goals like that, we'd be rattling on about their 'genius'. Hirsty was a fantastic player, worthy of far more praise than he ever got.
Even as a Wednesday fan, probably best not to compare with arguably the two best players in history. They'er another level. But the thought of Hirst and Shearer up front in their prime makes me so sad it didn't happen! If he stayed fit Wednesday might have won something of note during that period.
Unfortunately, they were arguably the two best English strikers of all time. Hirst was brilliant but had nowhere near the career of Lineker and Shearer. If it weren't for injuries, or if he'd joined Man Utd, maybe it would have been different.
Man u would have rested him right, we played him as soon as he could walk, fergie offered him everything cars, women, money, an house, at that time if the manager said no that was that, our best ever
It's such a shame injuries held him back.....a complete forward. What a Wednesday legend!
One of the greatest of all time. His finishing was absolutely world class. If only he'd have stayed injury free.

the best striker iv ever seen as good as van basten or anyone else at that time and since had everything

Not quite the same league as van basten but a great striker
😂😂😂
Calm down. I love Hirst as much as the next man, but relax.
Simply amazing.
Best player I’ll ever see play for Wednesday !!
Seriously world class. If he was around today he would be the best striker in the world.
Injuries stopped him being possibly world class
What a player

Shearer and Hirst up front for England ! Heaven! x
What an underrated player this guy was….prolific in front of goal
great goals, shame about the music..
What a legend. UTO
He is
Where's his volley v Man Utd in the 1-0 win at Old Trafford.
David hurst is the best
I didnt realise he had such speed, i always thaught he was just a good striker of the ball.
Shame Lineker & Shearer were always chosen over him for England team.......

Keep an eye out for his son George. He really is one for the future.
Could be signing for Leicester.
@@justinshore5566 hahaha

Assalamualaikum wr. wb
Any one know when his goal vs Southampton was wondering if it was the 1992
I was at that, 92 sounds about right
I am a sheffield Wednesday can
He had a wonderful left foot. For some strange reason he turned down Man United twice.
@Mark O often when things don't happen something better comes along in the future. Man united got went for Cantona instead.
He didn’t want to play for Man Utd, he wanted to play for Wednesday!
He wanted to go to man u it's his biggest regret, Ron Atkinson just said no
Man u would have rested him right, we played him as soon as he could walk, fergie offered him everything cars, women, money, an house, at that time if the manager said no that was that, our best ever
He wanted to go to United. Trevor Francis wouldn't let him go.
Great player, what's the song called ?
Check the description
Shite.
Wednesday destroying man city before billions made them a decent side
No wonder fergie tried to sign him 6 times,shame his goal v liverpool is missing.
How much would he be worth in today's market 🤔
200 million.
can't remember Deane or agana scoring goals like that.. they were nothing compared to hirsty
Keeley Lidster he's crap Hirst ahahah. No where near as good as Tony Currie
once again....dumb ass !!
Fucking music...
Great goals, awful song. Couldn't have picked a worse one
Better than Shearer. Cursed with injuries
What a player
