areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I was eight. Little did I know that was going to be the peak of my Wednesday-supporting life until well into my forties at best. Sigh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeyswfc Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Tears. All down hill from the final. Who would have seen that coming? Cup finals, Europe and top 3 finishes all gone. 10 years after this we were on our way to league one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevan Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 A brilliant day! I'll always remember us all singing "it should have been 10 -1". It was true, we created so many chances that day. Maybe a legacy that still goes on and on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best goalkeeping display I’ve ever seen live I think by Kelly.. otherwise it would’ve been, oh and the crossbar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls_fan_since_1983 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I remember going to this match, my Dad gave me the choice of we go to the semi final or the league cup final. I picked the right one, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrs Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Good work there by the official FA Cup team to get the year wrong by four I think we have to admit this was as good as it ever got. The pinnacle of being a post-war Wednesdayite. We hammered the pigs at Wembley and booked ourselves a second cup final. Think we were 4th or 5th in the league as well after a slow start so there probably would’ve been an argument to say we were the best team in England at that moment. As a naive teenager I thought this was now our rightful place in English football. And then it went downhill….. The league form dropped off as injuries and fixture pileups took hold, we lost both cup finals and thereby failed to qualify for Europe despite being in contention on three fronts. And while the following season was good, it heralded the end of our little glory period. And since then, mostly mediocrity and misery. Anyway, enjoy your day folks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneEightSixSeven Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Even after losing both cup finals I remember the odd pundit predicting us as possible league champions for the following season, that’s how good we were. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geedee Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 The sad statistic is that it's the longest amount of time between cup final appearances. 1935- 1966 31 years 1993- 2025 32 years and counting Thank God for the playoffs at least our young supporters still have a chance of seeing Wednesday at Wembley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musn't Grumble Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Never experienced a goal like it... At Wembley, against the Bl*des, at the start of the game and we were right in line with the trajectory. As soon as The Waddler hit it, we could track the ball into the top corner. A goal as soon as he hit it. Wonderful! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
