From Wembley to Big Ron’s return, we take a look back at Sheffield Wednesday pictures from every year in the 1990s.

It’s the decade that Sheffield Wednesday supporters of a certain age look back on with the most fondness – even of there were some heartbreaking times in amongst the smiles.

Wembley wins and Wembley defeats, beautiful kits and a team that hasn’t been bettered since and was one of the best ever assembled in the Owls’ long history.

So, we had a look through The Star’s archives and dug out some great pictures from a golden era for Wednesdayites.
