How many penalty shootouts have we been involved with since? I remember two last year in the FLT, and the one against Fulham. Had one under Solbakken too. Those are the only I remember since following the club. I do remember reading that Wednesday got penalty revenge against us a few years after this one.

Remember it like it was yesterday.
Amazes me how I can remember this so vividly but remember little of the semi final three years later.
It must be the drink

I went to the draw at Hillsborough before it as well.
Who was the kid with the double barrel who missed the penalty there?

Edit: Got it. Chris Bart Williams. A blast from the past.

Bart-Williams. Announcer said Jones saved a penalty from BW earlier, so maybe he'd be in his head. Proved to be right!

I suppose that's what you get for muting the sound whilst watching...

I edited my post as well..

Thanks for posting that link, PKB, enjoyed it greatly!

What caught my eye though in the early going was the sign just off the pitch on the ground that advertized "Sun Life of Canada;" my father worked in the Sun Life building in Montreal, which on completion in 1931 was the largest (not the tallest) building in the British Empire (as advertized). My father worked there for 25+ years and when I started working downtown near there I often met him after work and we took the train home together. I knew the company had international concerns but never knew they were active in England and advertized at the Mol! - view external link

I was watching the Africa cup of nations final and the penalty shoot-out on Sunday evening and this game and the shoot-out drama against the Owls came to mind. I can't believe it's twenty years ago. At 3-0 down Wolves looked dead and buried, especially after Pressman's penalty that gave Paul Jones no chance. But Wolves stuck to it and in the end Goodman held his nerve to win it.
