Possibly the best football anthem ever, Paul Carrack's superb song-writing and unmistakeable vocals will have you punching the air as you relive this special season where, in 1991, Sheffield Wednesday beat Manchester United in the Rumbelows league cup final at Wembley, as well as securing promotion back to top tier of English football. UTO! WAWAW! Wednesday 'Til I Die!

Lyrics, It's a Praise for Sheffield Wednesday - Paul Carrack
Last year I nearly cried
My mama said I should be certified
Going down was bad enough
Them going up made it really rough
When things looked really black
BIG RON told us we'd be back
Tell everybody that the heat is on
Now we're going to Division 1
There's gonna be a celebration
In every corner of the nation
You'd better organise the lotion
Because we're heading for promotion
And it's a praise for Sheffield Wednesday
It's a praise for Sheffield Wednesday
Yeah!
Atkinson's Barmy Army, Atkinson's Barmy Army
Atkinson's Barmy Army, Atkinson's Barmy Army
Atkinson's Barmy Army, Atkinson's Barmy Army
Atkinson's Barmy Army, Atkinson's Barmy Army
John Sherri' - different class
Big Carlton covers every blade of grass
Now we've got Hirsty and 'Willo' too,
And Trevor Francis looking good as new
Two Nigels - hard as nails
We know Shirty never never fails
So come on Kingy, do you thingy!
Get steaming up down that wing
You know there's gonna be an assembly
When the first ever Yankee scores at Wembley
Big Ron will be overcome with the lotion
Because he's taking us to promotion
And it's a praise for Sheffield Wednesday
It's a praise for Sheffield Wednesday
C'mon!
"Did well, Wilson - goal!!!"
"Did well, Wilson - goal!!!"
"Did well, Wilson - goal!!!"
"He's done it again - Pearson!"
"Did well, Wilson - goal!!!"
"Did well, Wilson - goal!!!"
"Did well, Wilson - goal!!!"
"He's done it again - Pearson!"
"It's Hirst who's scored it!"
"It's Hirst who's scored it!"
"He's lethal in that position"
"They're rampant!""
"It's Hirst who's scored it!"
"It's Hirst who's scored it!"
"He's lethal in that position"
"This is turned in dangerously towards Pearson. He's, he's done it again - Pearson!"
"He's done it again!"
"He's got Williams with him and he's going all the way!"
"It's Hirst who's scored it!"
Yeah, Yeah!
It's a praise for Sheffield Wednesday
It's a praise for Sheffield Wednesday
"Well done the Owls, says Paul from Wisewood"
"Well done the Owls, says Paul from Wisewood"
"A terrific goal by Sheridan!!!"
