How an infamous 91 final snub by TV bosses went on to christen Sheffield Wednesday's most iconic fanzine

And it is often showcased as one of the most obvious examples of Leeds bias in the Yorkshire media.

The name of the fanzine was inspired by Yorkshire Television’s decision to show the 1986 TV special War of the Monster Trucks in preference to the post-match celebrations of Sheffield Wednesday’s famous and unlikely 1–0 League Cup Final victory over Manchester United 29 years ago this very day.

“Other regions were showing cartoons which they could easily replace. We were showing an hour-long programme which we could not scrap,” said YTV in an attempt to defend the decision. One suspects the monster trucks may have been wheeled aside for a Leeds United win.

Current custodian Steve Walmsley, a lifelong Wednesdayite who attended the 1991 final, told The Star: “There wasn’t social media, people didn’t have blogs and that sort of stuff.

“It was an important way for fans to share their opinions and get things across to one another. Until then you’d only have the letters columns in the Green’Un and phone-ins.

“You couldn't get things that were critical or that might take the mickey a little bit.

“There used to be a number of fanzines. It was great. We went online for a while but there is still a market for that kind of experience. For lots of people it’s a big part of their matchday experience.”
