"The last time I went was in 1993 supporting Sheffield Wednesday - it’s been a long time, personally.” – Former Sheffield Wednesday man, Simon Weaver, is heading back to Wembley as his Harrogate Town side look to make history.

The North Yorkshire club only went professional in 2017, but now they stand on the brink of promotion into the English Football League for the first time in their history as they go up against Notts County in the National League Play-Off final.

Weaver, who was born in Doncaster, was an apprentice with the Owls during his early years as a player, and – as his side prepare to step onto the field at Wembley Stadium next weekend – he’s recalled how his last trip there was watching the Owls lose to Arsenal as a teenager.
