beano Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 http://www.swfc.co.uk/page/News/0,,10304~2343572,00.html Happy anniversary!Posted on: Thu 21 Apr 2011 It is a date forever etched in the hearts and minds of Wednesdayites the world over - 21 April 1991. The wait for silverware to don the blue and white ribbons was long - or 56 years to be precise. If the preceding season of 1989-90 was one of the most disappointing in history - the Owls suffered top-flight relegation in the cruellest of circumstances on the final day - the following campaign certainly balanced the scales. The term would end with instant promotion back to the top tier and, of course, the icing on the cake of lifting the League Cup. The road to Wembley was long and winding, starting out at Hillsborough in a two-legged affair against Brentford. The Bees were overcome by the odd goal in three on both occasions and Wednesday progressed into round three, where they drew Swindon away from home. A goalless draw at the County Ground triggered a Hillsborough replay, in which skipper Nigel Pearson scored the only goal of the game to send the Owls through to the next stage. Atkinson's men came out of the hat first for round four, where a meeting with Derby beckoned in November. And it was honours even at Hillsborough, with the Rams taking favourite status having secured a replay at the Baseball Ground. But Wednesday had other ideas - and in particular American star John Harkes, who blasted an incredible 35-yard strike at Derby still talked about today. Paul Williams was also on target in the 2-1 triumph and the Owls' charge to Wembley began to gain real momentum. Next up was a quarter final clash with Coventry, when captain Pearson again proved the difference to seal the passage to the last four. All the talk was of avoiding Manchester United, although the pairing with Chelsea was hardly a pushover for Wednesday. But the Owls dominated both games and advanced to the Twin Towers on the back of a thumping 5-1 aggregate win. Naturally, the Red Devils were the overwhelming favourites with bookies, pundits and punters alike. Wednesday would need to delve into the top drawer to repel the United threat and this they did - with some aplomb. John Sheridan may have grabbed the headlines with his blistering drive that settled the contest. But the current Chesterfield chief was the first to acknowledge a true team effort as Wednesday kept out the most dangerous side in the country - and thousands upon thousands of joyous Wednesdayites watched in wonder as Pearson lifted the League Cup to bring 56 years of hurt to a close.
