Season DETAIL - 2008-2009

Wednesday do the league double over Sheffield United for the first time in 95 years.

The season sees Wednesday finish solidly in mid-table but Brian Laws writes his name in Wednesday history by becoming the first manager to do the league double over bitter rivals Sheffield United for 95 years!

Wednesday disappointingly lose to League Two (tier 4) Rotherham United in the 1st round of the EFL Cup, the tie going to a penalty shoot-out at Hillsborough.

Wednesday lose to Premier League Fulham in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.
