Lawrie Madden (born September 28, 1955 in Hackney), is an English former professional footballer, famous for playing for Sheffield Wednesday during what was a very successful period in the club's history during the mid 1980s and early 1990s. Although he mostly played as a central defender, during his early career at Charlton Athletic, he played in many positions to compensate for the small squad. He is currently a freelance sports journalist reporting for Sky Sports and senior lecturer at Staffordshire University.
