But there won't be much fanfare when he reaches 150 – not in Spurr's book anyway – the defender insisting that winning a shirt for his club's next game is all that's on his mind.

Spurr, 22, remains a one-club man and already the Owls academy youth product is almost three-quarters of the way to notching up his 200th appearance.

Some feat for a young man whose 22nd birthday only came in September but Spurr takes little notice and insists that even now his place in Wednesday's team is not completely safe.

Spurr, an ever-present so far this season, will never take it as given that he is named as a starter.

Nor is he one to boast about nearing 150 appearances, in fact he doesn't even know.

Asked what his next milestone would be, Spurr told Yorkshire Sport: "I think next it's 150, but I'm not sure!

"I am nearly there I think or I might have just got there but mostly I don't really look at it until someone mentions it.

"I just take each game as it comes and try and get my shirt for the next match because you are never guaranteed it.

"I have stayed fit and played in every game so far this season which was the aim at the start.

"If you do that then generally you are doing all right.

"I'm pleased to have taken part in every game in what is an important season for us."

So far that season is not going according to plan, the Owls in the wrong end of the Championship table and just three points off the dropzone heading into yesterday's clash with the Baggies.

However, Spurr is convinced matters will soon turn, the defender insisting that the Owls would be on the verge of the play-offs but for individual errors.

"I think so far this season we have made too many individual errors and those have cost us goals – as a result we have ended up drawing or losing games," said Spurr.

"We are probably 10 points behind where we should have been.
"I think over the season we have actually played quite well and at times had most of the game that we have played in.

"The opposition have been there for the taking and we have had a lot of chances to put games to bed but we haven't done that and then we end up losing games.

"On the other side we have conceded some sloppy goals which doesn't help.

"In the Preston match at home we played really well and had loads of chances in the first half but we didn't take them and then another mistake or some unfortunate bit of luck against us and we ended up losing 2-1.

"It's frustrating but hopefully we can have a run of games where we don't concede many goals.

"Hopefully we can then put them away at the other end and get some
results."

And nobody is more determined to ignite a winning run than Spurr who has had Wednesday's blue and white running through his blood ever since signing for the club as an eight year old.

He soon became a devoted fan after watching games at the weekend and Leeds-born Spurr admits he is now an Owl through and through.

"I love playing at Hillsborough, I love pulling on the blue and white shirt every week," said the defender, who lives with his parents near Garforth. "It means everything.

"Obviously I owe a lot to the club, they gave me my chance to play professional football so I am delighted to play for them and hopefully I will keep doing that.

"When I signed for the academy when I was eight or nine, I always went to the games.

"You end up becoming a supporter, you fall in love with the place when you go to watch games.

"It's a great experience and that's why it means a lot when we win and it hurts when we lose.

"Hillsborough is a great stadium and there is always a great atmosphere with the fans.

"When you go as a young lad you just love it and you get attached to the place."

Spurr is now attached in the true sense of the word, having signed a new four-year-contract in September.

Talk of the 6ft 1in defender being lured by a Premier League club was rife but with the Owls holding a special place in his heart, Spurr revealed that he was always likely to sign a new deal.

And, anyway, the left-footed ace sees no reason why Premier League days cannot be experienced without having to leave Hillsborough.

"I always wanted to stay," he said. "I just had to try and get the right deal for me which made me happy and luckily enough we came to that agreement.

"I was more than happy to sign for four years which is quite a long contract really.

"Obviously, Granty (Lee Grant) signed early doors at the end of last season for us and in my opinion he is the best in the league and the same with Tuggy (Marcus Tudgay) who is a vital part of our team.

"He doesn't just score goals, he helps to defend corners and free-kicks and his work rate is brilliant.

"It is always a positive to get your important players to sign but unfortunately Woody (Richard Wood) didn't.

"We were sad to see him leave but we wish him all the best for the future."

Spurr added: "I want to be a part of something at Sheffield Wednesday.

"I want us to have another day out like we did when the play-off final was in Cardiff – just before I came into the first team.

"I was at that game and it was unbelievable. I would love to be a part
of something like that and take Sheffield Wednesday into the Premier League."

The chances of that happening this season look slim on paper.

However, true Owl Spurr begs to differ.

"Everyone wants to be there (in the Premier League) but getting there
is always very difficult because there is obviously a gap between the Championship and the Premier League," he said.

"If we can try and get a bit of consistency in our play then I don't think we are that far from being a good side that can challenge for promotion."
