Owls achievement in top ten all time League Cup moments
Competition's anniversary brings back memories of better times Earlier in the season the Football League launched a poll to find out what fans thought were the best moments in the League Cup’s history to commemorate half a century of the competition. Sunday's Carling Cup Final between Aston Villa and Manchester United is the 50th League Cup Final and more than 20,000 supporters have cast their votes on the 50 golden moments as nominated by supporters on The Football League's special 50th anniversary website - www.leaguecup50.com The 1991 Cup Final victory over Manchester United was undoubtedly one of the Owls greatest post-war achievements and this was recognised by fans who voted Wednesday’s win as the 9th best League Cup moment of all time. Ron Atkinson’s side went into the game as big underdogs but John Sheridan’s sweetly struck shot provided the only goal of the game to give the second division side a surprise but fully deserved triumph. Wednesday went on to cap a fine season by securing promotion back to the top flight at the first attempt.
