Darren Moore has spoken of the pride he'll feel when he lines up alongside his Sheffield Wednesday players at Wembley tomorrow.
A few minutes before kick-off against Barnsley, the Owls' manager will be stood side-by-side with his players for a rendition of the national anthem.
And staring back at Moore and his players will be more than 40,000 Wednesdayites. The club have been inundated with demands for tickets and it promises to be a special atmosphere among the travelling party.

Speaking ahead of the club's first trip to Wembley since 2016, Moore said: "We've got a supporter who's set off from Australia, we've got supporters cutting holidays short. We'll have 44,000 down there and that's the passion I'm talking about. To the fans, thank you. Continue doing what you're doing driving these players on because you are the 12th man.
"It's great to hear tickets were quickly sold. It goes to show the appetite, love and passion fans have for the football club.
"It's going to be a proud day for me in terms of coming out and seeing all the fans at Wembley."
Moore was present at the national stadium in that aforementioned defeat to Hull City as a guest of the EFL. And one thing he immediately recognised that day was the swell of support afforded by the thousands of Wednesdayites.
"The one moment I remember is taking my eyes off the game and looking at the Wednesday end with all the fans bouncing," Moore recalled. "It was such a joy to see. It's one of the most fantastic sights I've seen in the game and so I've got a perception in my head of what I'm going to see Monday."
