30 years ago today: Sheffield Wednesday fans and players celebrate League Cup final win over Man United

Today marks three decades since Sheffield Wednesday’s famous Rumbelows Cup win over Manchester United at Wembley Stadium.

The Owls' win was even more impressive as they were still a second division team when they beat Sir Alex Ferguson’s top flight giants by a single goal to nil thanks to John Sheridan’s first-half effort on April 21, 1991.

Here's a look back at the celebrations which followed one of the proudest days in the club’s history as thousands of Wednesdayites gathered outside Sheffield Town Hall.

The 1991 League Cup success is still the Owls’ most-recent piece of silverware.
