Chris Adamson (born 4 November 1978, Ashington) is an English footballer currently playing for Sheffield Wednesday F.C. He was signed from League of Ireland side St Patrick's Athletic on 28 January 2005, with whom he played 2 seasons. In 2003 Adamson was nominated for the 'Goalkeeper of the Year' in the League of Ireland [1]. It was the second time that Adamson had been signed by former Sheffield Wednesday manager Paul Sturrock, having played under him during a short loan spell at Plymouth Argyle from West Bromwich Albion in the 2000-01 season.

Chris made his Sheffield Wednesday debut as a substitute on the 12 March 2005 at home versus Blackpool in Football League One. He was released on a free transfer following the Owls' promotion to the Championship at the end of the season. However, Sturrock was unsuccessful in finding a replacement back-up goalkeeper to then first choice David Lucas and Adamson re-signed for Wednesday on 11 July 2005.

Adamson made five appearances for the Owls in the 2005-06 season, keeping a clean sheet versus Crystal Palace at Hillsborough as well as keeping goal in the Steel City derby after the long term injury to David Lucas. He lost his place in the side following the arrival of England U-21 keeper Scott Carson on loan from Liverpool. Chris did however captain the Sheffield Wednesday reserve team to the title in the Pontins Central Reserve League.

It seems that Adamson will be warming the Wednesday bench for sometime longer after former Owls boss Paul Sturrock secured the services of Australian Bradley Jones from Middlesbrough on a three-month loan deal at the beginning of the 2006-07 season. Chris made his first appearance of the season in the League Cup first round at Hillsborough versus League Two side Wrexham, the Owls lost 4-1. He was unlucky to concede a goal without even having a touch of the ball in the following match against Leeds United, He came on as a substitute when Jones was given a straight red card and immediately faced a penalty which was scored.
