Jack Charlton's first full season as Wednesday manager is one of consolidation, Wednesday finishing in 14th.  Charlton signs Terry Curran in late March.

In a remarkable FA Cup campaign Wednesday win through the 1st and 2nd rounds after replays before drawing Arsenal in the 3rd round.  The first match at Hillsborough only goes ahead as fans help to clear snow from the pitch and Wednesday get a very creditable 1-1 draw.  The replay at Highbury is also a draw and the 2nd replay is scheduled to be played at Filbert Street, Leicester which is the only playable venue because of widespread snow.  The result is a 2-2 draw and yet another replay is necessary.  The 3rd replay is yet another draw - this time 3-3 and the tie goes to a remarkable 4th replay played once again at Leicester.  Wednesday finally lose the tie 2-0 having played nine FA Cup matches this season.
