About Bert McGee
Lived 1917 – 1995 (aged 77). Bert McGee was a British sports executive.
Herbert Edward McGee (11 August 1917 – May 1995) was a chairman of Sheffield Wednesday Football Club.
In April 1984, as Chairman of Sheffield Wednesday, McGee 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. Cardiff were charging £2.50 to Cardiff fans and those who bought tickets in advance but £3 to Wednesday fans. He resigned from his position as chairman soon after and was replaced by Dave Richards.
McGee was appointed an OBE in 1991 for services to Sheffield.
