Old Owls make television appearance

Sheffield Wednesday will be in action on ITV4 at 11.25am on Thursday. They feature in the Big Match Revisited programme in an F.A. Cup clash against Arsenal at Hillsborough.

The clash from the 1978/79 season was played during the big freeze-rather apt given the near arctic conditions we have experienced this week and results in a 1-1 draw in a campaign that sees the Gunners go on to win the trophy, beating Manchester United in the final.

The match should certainly be worth a watch for those old enough to remember that era and also for younger fans who may have heard of some of the players but have not had the opportunity to see them in action.
