ROSS Wallace said he had ‘great memories’ of his time with Burnley as he prepares to face his former side for Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough tonight.

Wallace made 165 appearances for the Clarets in his time at Turf Moor, but signed for Wednesday after leaving Burnley in the summer.

“I have great memories and had a great time there. It was five or six years I had and we managed to get promotion a couple of times,” he said.

“I had to move on because sometimes you need a fresh start and that was it.

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being at Sheffield Wednesday for the last seven or eight months.

“Considering this group was only put together at the start of the season, we have a great team spirit and we’re looking to do well this season.”

Scott Arfield could go head-to-head tonight with Wallace, but said he had plenty to thank the Wednesday man for.

“He was brilliant for me, with the Scottish connection and playing at Scotland. He took me under his wing a bit,” said Arfield.

“Whoever was playing in there, whether it was me, Kights or Boydy, we had to keep him out of the team.

“He’s a top player with incredible technique and he’s one we’ll need to watch out for tomorrow.”
