He \u2013 and Arsenal \u2013 returned to Wembley in May that year for the FA Cup final, ironically also against Sheffield Wednesday. Prior to kick-off, Morrow climbed the iconic 39 Wembley steps to collect the League Cup winners\u2019 medal he was unable to receive a month earlier.<\/p>\n
Morrow joined us as a schoolboy back in 1984 and went on to make 85 first-team appearances between 1994 and 1997, and while he is exonerably linked to this final, it was another Gunner who starred sufficiently to be awarded the man of the match trophy.<\/p>\n
After John Harkes had given Wednesday an early lead after a clever free-kick routine fell to him on the edge of the area to drill past David Seaman, Paul Merson came the fore. The magic man equalised with 20 minutes played, hitting a half-volley into the net via a deflection off Andy Linighan, and then he would feature heavily in our winner. <\/p>\n
