thailand owl Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 This will obviously vary depending on your age but for me it has to be the 92-93 season, 4 trips to Wembley 2 away trips in Europe and a total of 63 games (i think) played that season of which i went to everyone of them. Some fantastic memories from that season looking back on the fixtures. Our strikeforce of Hirst, Bright and Warhurst scoring 53 goals between them. Happy days.

Guest Distraught! Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 90/91 I expected us to win every game with exciting football and lots of goals. And to see that trophy being lifted...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Banno's Wedge Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'd have to agree, this closely run by the season we went up under Howard, as we just blew everyone away in the early part of that season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt68owls Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 for me it was the 1979-1980 season. it was the first season i saw wednesday get promoted and my first 2 sheffield derbies. the season started as usual with a couple of good results followed by a stinker, i think it was wrexham we lost 3-0 at home to very early on. it looked like the usual kind of season i was used to until the boxing day massacre. the next game at home to plymough was bloody awful but then wednesday just changed gear and went flying up the league. they got a 1-1 draw at the lane but battered them in the second half and were unlucky not to do the double. the blackburn game later on that season went in to wednesday folklore and still remains my favourite ever away game. the noise of approx 15,000 wednesday fans singing as we left the ground is something i will never forget, it still sends shivers down my spine thinking about it. obviously in culminated with the boring 0-0 v carlisle at home on the last day of the season but it didn't matter we had done it. the prospect of visting places like west ham the following year instead of bury or reading was such an exciting thought for a 10 year old.

penrhyn bay owl Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 79-80 gets my vote by a mile . simply unforgetable games throughout the whole season , blunts x 2 , swindon , blackpool , rotherham , blackburn , mansfield , oldham to name but a few , all awayand all for various reasons as no doubt a lot on the site will remember plus the fact i was 33 years younger !

lesbarbeux Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Been a regular since the early sixties and have to agree. Seen a load of good games, a few memorable great ones, but nothing compares with the time where our second home seemed to be Wembley. Hurst, Waddle, Shez, the revelation that was Warhurst and a host of others that actually played as a team........Oh! Happy days indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 83/84 promotion season would have to be up there with them, WIlko's Army should have won the title but for an exceptional Chelsea, they were happy days.

Guest York-owl-chris Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 last season for me, I hope my loyality of supporting the owls since 1994 will reward me soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
York_Owl Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Losing both cup finals, especially the FA Cup in a replay in injury time of extra time was an awful way to end the season. Still gutted that we didn't win anything that season. For me 1990/91 was the best season as we won our first major trophy since 1935. There was also the excitement of being back in the top league and what we were going to achieve with that team. If only Big Ron had stayed.

benni8 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 i always look back on the brian laws season where we just missed out on playoffs... people genuinley feared us. especially brunts left peg. that win at west brom was amazing... and 1-4 leicester, norwich away win, 2-4 away burnley. great times under laws.best team we had in recent times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Have to go along with the OP, 1992-93. Watching the outstanding player at the time in the country grace the blue and white stripes (Football writers footballer of the year Chris Waddle) was a priviladge. Europe, those cup runs to Wembley, 3-3 with Man Utd on boxing day in front of 39k at Hillsborough, watching Hirsty blossom into one of the outstanding strikers in the country, Warhursts goal rush, the steel city semi final, that magical half hour period at Ewood Park in the League Cup semi, I could go on.... All in all a season I will never forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl_in_Hudds Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 1990-91, every game day was like Xmas for me then, the buzz of getting the train, the football special, the pull of the atmosphere - even at 2.15 it was still goosebumpy, knowing that we were going to see some fantastic, often breathtaking football played in front of us.

Ian Hess Sports Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Although I was only just old enough to remember the 1929/30 championship winnning season was the best for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
