This season was the first time that the Owls had gone 19 games without defeat in a single league campaign since the 1960/61 campaign, but Dave Jones’ Wednesday side managed a similar run decades later - only needed two seasons in two divisions to do it.
That run in 2012 started with a 1-0 victory over local rivals, Sheffield United, but manager at the time, Gary Megson, was fired just days after that victory and the decision to appoint Jones was swiftly made.
He didn’t lose a league game as Wednesday manager for half a year as promotion was secured with a famous run that saw them leapfrog the Blades, and it was only once they were back in the second tier that they were eventually beaten.
We had a look at the team that faced Palace on that day in September 2012 when - for the first time in over six months - Wednesday were finally beaten in a league game...
Here’s how they set up that day:

14. Danny Mayor - Sub
He was just a youngster when he joined the Owls, but it never really clicked at Hillsborough. Spent many years with Bury, but is now with Wednesday’s League One rivals, Plymouth Argyle. He missed both games against SWFC this season, though. | Steve Ellis
