There are joy, tears and disbelief in Hillsborough after Sheffield Wednesday reached Wembley.
By Chris Baynes, Elliott Green and Oli Constable"There were kids crying, adults crying, even I was close to it. I still can't believe we've done it."
Martyn Ware, who went to his first Wednesday match in 1968, said he had "never experienced anything like" the comeback. Wednesday, who slipped out of the automatic promotion spots after a poor run of form in the last weeks of the season, had been widely written off after their thumping first-leg defeat. No team had come back from more than two goals down in play-offs.
While he would have loved to have been at Hillsborough "because when it's buzzing there's no finer place on Earth to be," watching the match among rivals did not take the sheen off victory. Mr Garner said: "I think Wednesday and Barnsley would be a reyt good advert for South Yorkshire, it'd be brilliant. Local rivals in a play-off final, it's never happened before has it?"
