2002–03 Sheffield Wednesday F.C. season
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]
Final league table
- Pld = Matches ; W = Matches won; D = Matches drawn; L = Matches lost; F = Goals for; A = Goals against; GD = Goal difference; Pts = Points
