dunsbyowl Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Barring the FA Cup semi vs the Blunts one of my favourite games from this period ! #OnThisDay 25 years ago an amazing display by a Wednesday team at the height of their powers defeating @Rovers 4-2 away in the 1st Leg SF of the League Cup. The wonderful yellow and black away kit. Goals Warhurst 2, @johnharkes6 & Shez John Sheridan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most of that game we were truly unplayable especially a 20 minute period kicking towards the away end. Even now I remember a Blackburn team looking completely out of their depth.

Bouncing Owl Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I was there that night. We were absolutely brilliant. Warhurst, defender turned striker was on fire and Sheridan was imperious as per usual. It was a great Wednesday team! There was a comedy moment as there was a guy with some crutches in the crowd and all you could see was the crutches being flung into the air when we continued to score at will in the first half. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greengrass Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Has to be one of the best away games I have ever been to. Some right scenes ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrs Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 To my eternal regret I passed up the chance to go to try and pull a girl I fancied at a Sheffield College party instead. Watched the game on video when I got in at 3am in my parents living room instead. Wasn’t quite the same. Didn’t even pull the girl either. Waddle, Sheridan and Warhurst in particular were on another planet that night. Oh for just a tenth of that ability this afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbo48 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Yep. Totally agree. That period when Warhurst was totally unplayable was one of the best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyed the trip to the Lane that season where we were camped in their half got the last 40 minutes, but only drew. Great days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanzaroteowl Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 By far the best I've seen us play But being a Wednesday fan I waited until the last five minutes of the second leg 7-3 up Before joining in the 'Wembley!!!' songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t it all start to unravel at the final when Francis asked Warhurst to go back to centre half cos of defensive injuries ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TF was starting to lose it and by the final replay the team looked defeated, injured, knackered and half of them would be moved on. It was a shame as they'd probably played 70 odd games that season, with europe games in there as well. Tremendous team - probably on par with the 82-85 team for me as an all round combative unit. We should model our next team on those two teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prendo's boots Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 It was 6-3 on aggregate..2-1 at S6 in the second leg! That 4-2 first 45 minutes was sublime football... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
