From Staff and Wire Reports
John Harkes of Kearny, N.J., became the first American to play a soccer game in London’s hallowed Wembley Stadium , when he was on the field for the first 87 minutes of Sheffield Wednesday’s 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the FA League Cup final.
John Sheridan scored from 22 yards out in the 37th minute as Sheffield Wednesday became the first English second division team since 1975 and only the fifth in 30 years to win the League Cup final. It was the team’s first major championship since 1935.
