OccupationSheffield Wednesday chairman

Herbert Edward McGee OBE (11 August 1917 – May 1995) was a chairman of Sheffield Wednesday Football Club.

In April 1984, as Chairman of Sheffield Wednesday, he advised Sheffield Wednesday fans not to travel to Ninian Park for a game against Cardiff City F.C. because he felt Cardiff were attempting to cash in by charging higher ticket prices against promotion candidates Wednesday.[2] Cardiff were charging £2.50 to Cardiff fans and those who bought tickets in advance but £3 to Wednesday fans.[2]

He was the chairman of the club at the time of the Hillsborough disaster.[3]

He resigned from his position as Chairman soon after and was replaced by Dave Richards.

He was appointed an OBE in 1991 for services to Sheffield.[4]
