As the coach drove on in, to a sea of blue and white

No one could have foreseen the pure joy of that night

All our dreams were unfolding, it couldn't be true

see those the ribbons on the cup?! Not white-red, but white-blue!!

There's a great save from Turner, and Sheridan's rocket,

Roland Nilsson runs by... with Lee Sharpe in his pocket,

Just a small team from Sheffield, were giving a scare,

to a team full of champions.... and Brian McClair.

Back to S6 we ran with the 'Cup Rumbelows'

That team humbled the champions, and from one league below.

Now that win is a glimpse of this great club's past glory.

Nothing more than a memory, nothing more than a story,

To pass on to the fans yet to know how it feels,

To support a great club, still attached to it's wheels.

(ropey, might do some more work on this at some point and make it actually good , you get the sentiment though. :laugh: )

UTO.

Clap your hands, light a rocket

Nilssons got Sharpe in his back pocket

The balls knocked through to Williams (nearly)

But good news lads, he's nobbled Sealey.

What a day to work up a thirst,

I propose a toast to David Hirst

Harkesy, Harkesy, USA

Go on punk, make my day

Big Nige Pearson at the back

Snuffs out Hughes who's playing cack

Stopping McClair from getting a sniff,

Alongside Nige, there's Pete Shirtliffe

We all cheer, shout, and sing

Cos on the left we have Phil King

No takeover bid, no bankroll

It's Chrissy Turner in our goal

Danny Wilson, full of running

And Big Fat Ron, who takes the sun in

Nigel Worthington down the left

Helps red nosed Fergie feel bereft

Lawrie and Trev ready to play their part

Our style of play is like fine art

But cometh the hour, cometh the man

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny Sheridan

We celebrate, we shed our tears,

Sadly, our last trophy in 20 years

But don't give up, your bags don't pack,

We're The Wednesday, we'll be back!!!!

My first excursion to Wembly, was 13.

Won't forget that day till I die, for the trip there, the game - the teddies being thrown, the atmospher, the trip back - the gloating at school, every football fan should experience such a day, I may never get a day like it again.........although I live in hope.
