The 2012-13 campaign delivered a hard-fought return to the second tier for Sheffield Wednesday, with The Owls successfully consolidating their place in the Championship by finishing 18th under manager Dave Jones. Leading the charge was the powerful winger Michail Antonio, whose 8 league goals anchored an attack that also secured memorable victories over playoff contenders Crystal Palace and Leicester City in a season built on grit and the determination to secure their new league status.
