Golden Oldies - 1993 FA Cup Final (and replay), Wembley Stadium, v Arsenal

The Owls and Arsenal walk out to a buzzing Wembley crowd on a hot summer's afternoon in May 1993. Half of Wembley stadium is a sea of blue & white. Mark Bright flies over the top of the oncoming David Seaman. Roland Nilsson nicks the ball away from Gunner's striker Ian Wright.


David Hirst slams the ball past David Seaman to make it 1-1. Hirst is then mobbed by ecstatic team mates as Wednesday equalise. Mark Bright clashes with Arsenal defender Andy Linighan during the FA Cup Final replay five days later. Chris Waddle equalises for the Owls, once again making the scores 1-1.

A heart-breaking moment for Owls fans. Andy Linighan heads the ball past the flapping arms of Chris Woods in injury time. The full time whistle blows moments later, and Arsenal are the winners. The whistle goes and the Gunners are jubilant, whilst the Owls players are left in shock. A second successive cup defeat at Wembley, both to Arsenal.
