Our series focussing on Joe Royle's famous 'Pinch Me' season of 1990 / 91 continues with two games, one from the Rumbelows Cup and a League tie. Latics were the visitors at Elland Road as 26,327 saw them make a Cup exit to Leeds, a formidable Division 1 side. Goals from Lee Chapman and Gary Speed sealed the visitors' fate.

At Hillsborough shortly after, a full house witnessed the Second Division match-of-the-day. In a classic nail-biter, Ron Atkinson's Sheffield Wednesday clawed back a two-goal advantage after David Currie and Nick Henry had put Latics ahead. Who spared Owl's blushes that day? None other than spot-kick king John Sheridan.
