The Legacy
David Pleat managed Sheffield Wednesday to a seventh-place finish in the 1996-1997 Premier League. Benito Carbone arrived to provide creative spark, often linking up with the technical Mark Pembridge in midfield. At the back, Des Walker remained a fixture for a side that occasionally threatened the European spots. The Puma away kit featured the Sanderson sponsor across the chest, marking a time when the Owls were a comfortable top-half side. Success in the league was balanced by the squad's tendency to drop points against lower opposition, ending just shy of a UEFA Cup spot.
