During the 2002–03 English football season, Sheffield Wednesday competed in the Football League First Division.
Season summary
After the Owls made a terrible start to the 2002-03 season, Yorath resigned in October[1] and Hartlepool manager Chris Turner - a former Owls goalkeeper - was appointed as his replacement.[2] Turner made a big effort to rejuvenate the side and there were some impressive results during the final weeks of the season, but a failure to beat Brighton in the penultimate game of the season condemned them to relegation.[3]
