'91: The inside story of Sheffield Wednesday's historic 1990/91 season
In May 1990 the unthinkable happened and Sheffield Wednesday were relegated to the second division of English football for the first time in six seasons.
Ron Atkinson's talented squad - blessed with the likes of David Hirst, Carlton Palmer, Roland Nilsson and John Sheridan - could go one of two ways; stick together or fall apart. A year later they were back in the big time and holders of the League Cup having beaten Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United at Wembley.
The collection of huge characters formed one of the most iconic sides in the club's rich history. For the very first time, '91 tells the inside story of that incredible season from those that were there; from training ground crisis talks to terrific goals, laughs, tears and beers on the open-top bus.

Reviews
Alex Miller is a good journalist in the Sheffield region and wasn’t even born when Wednesday won the league cup and promotion in 91. Nevertheless, he takes the reader down a very different version of the back room stories we all thought we knew. I was at Wembley in 91 and it was a magical day, I thought I knew most things about that era at the club. This book taught me so much more and was a humorous and enjoyable read throughout, highly recommended to Wednesday fans
I bought this when it came out, however only just got round to reading it whilst on holiday. Fantastic book brings out all the memories of that amazing season.
Alex miller writes it really well and it flows nice and easy.
I gave it 4 starts just because I noticed a couple of careless errors thats all.
I quess these are in every book you read but unless you know otherwise you don't notice them.
