On 29 May 2005, over 40,000 Wednesdayites made their way to the Welsh capital to roar Sheffield Wednesday on to victory over Hartlepool United with a place in the Championship at stake. Jon-Paul McGovern gave Paul Sturrock's side the lead on the stroke of half time but Pools turned the game on its head after the restart with Eifon Williams and Jon Daly putting Hartlepool ahead. McGovern scores opening goal As the game entered its final stages, the Owls hauled themselves back in the tie as Steve MacLean slammed home his 20th goal of the season from the spot, a result of Chris Westwood's challenge on Drew Talbot that earned the defender a red card. Talbot makes sure of victory Into extra time the game went where Glenn Whelan steadied the nerves with a stunning strike to regain the Owls' advantage and Wednesday made sure of promotion in the last minute. Talbot won possession on the halfway line before motoring upfield, rounding Dimi Konstantopoulos and tapping home into the empty net to seal elevation to the second tier.
