The 2nd replay between the local rivals came to be known as the "Battle of Bramall Lane"  The previous match, which was a 1-1 draw was a bad tempered affair and in front of a passionate crowd of 23,000, the teams tore into each from the start, seemingly intent to continue personal feuds established in the previous game.  Both teams were to blame but Wednesday perhaps showed more aggressive intent, as they endeavoured to counter the subtler skills of their opponents.  Pryce deliberately kicked Hedley and was sent off.  Langley followed for a deliberate charge on Bennett.  Wednesday’s Lee tangled with Thickett and was carried off with a broken leg (which effectively ended his football career).  This was just the start, as tempers were raised, and dormant passions aroused.  Hedley and Bennett had to leave the pitch with injuries in a tempestuous encounter.  Wednesday were made of the right stuff and fought like tigers, even when they were left with only eight players on the pitch.  Inevitably, they succumbed to pressure as their legs and hearts tired and eventually lost 2-0.
