@owlstalk Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Off work this week but will be spending it in front of the laptop working on this bad boy. I’m looking for stories from supporters throughout the 90/91 season - from Ipswich to Wembley to Oldham and everywhere in between. Let’s have a chat. If you have anything for Alex - you can PM him at @Toadie or tweet him Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
York_Owl Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 The Barmy Army chant started that season when Atkinson’s blue and white army morphed into Atkinson’s barmy army at Millwall away in the 4-4 cup game. First time I heard it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Best season in my lifetime. Absolutely brilliant. So many fantastic away games. Too many to choose from but Coventry away in the QF was epic. Seem to recall it got cancelled a couple of times before the game finally went ahead. What a night. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myHero Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 When this goal went in against Peter Shilton from John Harked I started to believe we were going to win the League Cup And then Wilson scored this one in the semi final. It was surely our year... And when Sheridan scored thst goal in the Final. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, but 2nd Division Wednesday were clearly the better footballing team again that day, by a mile. No big time Charlie's in that team. They worked on that style of play, and we were even prepared to accept relegation with Big Ron from the 1st Division as the style of play always promised we would progress, and the 3-2 defeats would turn into 4-1 victory's. David Hirt's hatrick against Hull City at the start of that season was really the start of it. Every season for the last 25 years has been painful to watch because of what happened in the 90-91 season... When he's finished writing the book, they should make a film about it. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myHero Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I was stood behind the goal on the kop when that goal went in from Wilson. You knew as soon as the ball struck his foot it was going in, even though the ball was swerving. Good Times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markowl Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Elton Welsby and John McCrirrick stayed in the same hotel as us on the Saturday night before the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taximark Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 My favourite season ever. I also remember buying a ticket of a tout outside boundary park last game of the season as well - we were both up but we had also won the league Cup and really didn't have anything to play far apart from hand Oldham a last min pen to give them the title over West Ham. Some absolute memories that season including sleeping in the wooden South stand after coming back from Portsmouth away when Carlton got sent off and subsequently missed the League Cup Final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Nothing beats seeing your team win at Wembley, absolutely nothing. Will always cherish that memory. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sefton owl Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Gutted as this was just before I was born. Always envious if my dad because I feel he saw much better Wednesday teams than me. Hopefully I’ll be able to see even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danblakemore Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Best season of my lifetime. That first home game verse Hull, incredible. Also, getting on the pitch when we won at home to Bristol City. Chelsea semi's... Great memories 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I remember the away leg of Semi Final v Chelsea was a noon day Kick off on a Sunday. Remember the coach I was on was full of people from my School, fantastic day with us winning. First time I had ever been to London. Also the first game v Ipswich when about twice as many Wednesday fans turned up then the Police were expecting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
