In coming from four goals down to beat Peterborough United in the League One play-off semi-final, Sheffield Wednesday have created a little piece of history...
This probably wasn’t the Fergie Time that Peterborough United supporters had been hoping for. Beyond the minimum six minutes of stoppage-time at Hillsborough – there may be a lesson to be learned about time-wasting there – they were hanging on in a way that they probably shouldn’t have been. Their 4-0 lead from the first leg had been nearly completely chipped away, and Sheffield Wednesday scented blood.
To come from four goals down to win a play-off match is completely unprecedented in the history of the EFL, with the previous record deficit having been two. It’s not difficult to have some degree of sympathy for Peterborough supporters who were surely as certain that they’d won the tie with their first-leg performance as Wednesday supporters may have been that they lost it with theirs.
Moore stayed two years as Doncaster collapsed into chaos around him, and it says something for his strength of character that he would go on to have a successful playing career, including Premier League football with West Bromwich Albion, after having been subjected to mid-1990s vintage Doncaster Rovers for two years.
