Coventry were a bit of a bogey side for us as well. I got the feeling our name was on the cup that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right when your riding the crest of the wave you still think there is more, the chance to progress further. I think that team did progress over the next two years, but finishing second in two cup finals, and playing in Europe doesn't compare to winning a cup final. An incredible achievement for a second division team, even if we were only on loan there for a season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiMark Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 We were the best side and most exciting side in that league that year and still to this day we are the only 2 tier side to have won the league Cup. If it wasn't the fact we had so many home draws we would have won the double easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggoisgod Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 IPSWICH away first game of the season was the single biggest away following I have ever witnessed as a football fan (at least that's how it felt) wednesday were all over the ground...all 4 sides Some of my mates at the time were Ipswich fans and they said the same Coach after coach after coach...unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animis Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Loved that year - so many memories both good and indifferent. Great players. I think the shear optimism of BFR and the team sticking together over the summer galvanized the whole fan base - no exceptions and we rode a wave of exquisite football and enthusiasm back to the top tier. We started the season beating the pigs convincingly in Laurie Maddens testimonial and carried on for a few games in the early season. League cup run and Wembley win was the icing on the cake . There were some poor games though; Cambridge in the cup, Blackburn, Newcastle, Wolves away and we drew too many at home. Best thing was talking over towns with the fans - Ipswich, Hull, Oldham, Port Vale, Notts County to name a few. Best game for me though was West Ham away - I knew we were going up that day - convincingly took apart a good promotion contender in their back yard - just quality. Shout out for Roland Nilsson's return game @ Rotherham on Good Friday - probably 5000 Wednesday fans went over to see the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markowl Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I lost my car keys on the Kop during the Chelsea second leg. After searching for ages I asked a copper what I should do, and he suggested I go to the little kiosk between the Kop and North Stand. I walked straight in and saw 3 coppers kicking seven bells out of one of our fans. Luckily my keys had been handed in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppers Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Remember all the stuffed toys (teddy bears)? i also remember going to hull and taking over the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOwlsofDodworth Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I was 6 years old. The memories only started around 93. That's when I started going. Tell you what though, the amount of times I sat and watched that season VHS. I used to get up super early and watch it. The one with the training session in Hyde Park. League Cup glory and a few others from the time. I was just memorised by these videos. The soundtrack was everything! So in my little world those mornings were my indoctrination into the Wednesday. I know I'm not alone. Reyt good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 That Ipswich away game was the only time I didn’t feel safe in a ground. Far too many behind that goal. Remember a copper outside asking me just how many we’d brought as he’d ‘never seen anything like it’. Momentum is a big thing in football and from that day on we never really looked back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny they were so confident before kick off! I remember coming out of Wembley that day and the Man U fans were quite generous. Remember one say he was pleased for a club like Wednesday to win something and I wished Man U well in the Cup Winner Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gob_Bluth Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I was about 8/9 around this time. I'm still in awe of the Harkes goal against Derby An absolute thunderbastard of a hit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember feeling very claustrophobic at Ipswich but at time you sort of accepted it and it wasn't unusual for terracing to be packed then. It was a very warm day as well which didn't help. I do remember them taking people out and round to another part of the ground when we scored our first goal and people running on the pitch in celebration.
