Tottenham won the replay 9–0 but Jack Brown had done enough to grab the attention of League clubs and he promptly signed for Sheffield Wednesday in February 1923 for a fee of £360.
[2][3] Brown was signed by Wednesday as an understudy to long serving international keeper Teddy Davison who was by then 36 years old and reaching the end of his career.
Jack Brown was ever present in that season as The Owls won the Division Two championship, one of his most telling contributions was a penalty save two minutes from time in a crucial away match with promotion rivals Chelsea in April 1926.
[4] Brown's good form earned a call up from the England team and he played his first international against Wales on 12 February 1927 at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground.
He recovered from the injury and was called up again on 2 April and played in a 2–1 victory against Scotland at Hampden Park with a reporter from the Athletic News saying, "Brown kept a splendid goal and in my opinion is in Sam Hardy's class".
[6][7] Brown was ever present throughout Sheffield Wednesday's Division One championship winning side in 1928–29 and only missed one match the following season when they retained the title.
