Sheffield Wednesday F.C.

Sheffield Wednesday Football Club is a professional association

football club based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. The Sheffield Wednesday
team competes in League One, the third tier of the English football
league system. Formed in 1867 as an offshoot of The Wednesday
Cricket Club (itself formed in 1820), they were known as The
Wednesday Football Club until 1929.

Wednesday is one of the oldest football clubs in the world of any

code, and the second-oldest professional association football club
in England.[a] In 1868 its team won the Cromwell Cup, only the
second tournament of its kind. They were founding members and
inaugural champions of the Football Alliance in 1889, before
joining The Football League three years later. In 1992, they Full name Sheffield

History

Early years (1867–1889)

Although no contemporary evidence has been found to support the claim, it is commonly believed that
"The Wednesday Cricket Club" was formed in 1820.[5] Nevertheless, an 1842 article in Bell's Life
magazine states the club was founded as far back as 1816.[5]
The club was so named because it was on Wednesdays that the
founding members had a half-day off work. They were initially
based at the New Ground in Darnall, and often went by the name
of Darnall Wednesday, but also played at Hyde Park. In 1855 they
were one of six clubs that helped build Bramall Lane, and held a
wicket there for many years.[5]

Famous players to have represented the cricket club include Harry A cricket match at Darnall in the
Sampson, who scored 162 on ice in 1841, Tom Marsden, who 1820s, a ground laid out for The
scored 227 for Sheffield & Leicester vs Nottingham in 1826, and Wednesday Cricket Club.
George Ulyett, who represented the club in the first ever
international test match before becoming one of only a select band
of players who played for both sections of The Wednesday Club.

On the evening of Wednesday 4 September 1867, a meeting was held at the Adelphi Hotel to establish
whether there was interest among the club's members to form a football club to keep the team together and
fit during the winter months. The proposal proved very popular, with over 60 members signing up for the
new team on the first night. They played their first match against The Mechanics on 19 October the same
year, winning by three goals and four 'rouges' to nil.[6]

It soon became apparent that football would come to eclipse the cricketing side of the club in terms of
popularity—the two sections went their separate ways in 1882 after a dispute over finances and the cricket
club ceased to exist in 1925. On 1 February 1868, Wednesday played their first competitive football match
as they entered the Cromwell Cup, a one-off four-team competition for newly formed clubs. A week after
their semi-final, they went on to win the cup, beating the Garrick club in the final after extra time, the only
goal being scored in diminishing light at Bramall Lane. This was one of the first recorded instances of a
match being settled by a "golden goal" although the term was not in use at the time.[7]

A key figure during the formative years of the football club was Charles Clegg, who joined the Wednesday
in 1867. His relationship with the club lasted for the rest of his life and eventually led to his becoming the
club's chairman. He also became president and chairman of the Football Association, and was known as
the "Napoleon of Football".[8] Clegg played for England in the first-ever international match, against
Scotland in November 1872, thereby completing a unique double for the club, who could lay claim to
having a player in the first international games of cricket and football.

In 1876 Wednesday acquired Scot James Lang. Although he was

not employed by the club, he was given a job by a member of the
Sheffield Wednesday board that had no formal duties. He is now
acknowledged as the first professional football player in
England.[9] With Lang in their team the football club became one
of the strongest in the region, a reputation that was cemented when
they won the inaugural Sheffield FA Challenge Cup in 1877.

In 1880 the club entered the FA Cup for the first time, and they
The Wednesday team in 1878
soon became one of the most respected sides in the country. But
although they had had Lang on their books a decade earlier, the
club officially remained staunchly amateur, and this stance almost
[5]
cost the club its very existence. By the middle of the decade, Wednesday's best players were leaving in
their droves to join clubs who would pay them, and in January 1887 they lost 0–16 against Halliwell with
just 10 players in their team. An emergency meeting was held, and the board members finally agreed to pay
its players.[10]
Professional football, English Champions and FA Cup winners (1889–
1939)

The move to professionalism took the club from Bramall Lane,

which had taken a share of the ticket revenue, to the new
Olive Grove.[11] In 1889 the club became founder members of
the Football Alliance, of which they were the first champions
in a season where they also reached the 1890 FA Cup Final,
losing 6–1 to Blackburn Rovers at Kennington Oval, London.
Despite finishing the following season bottom of the Alliance,
they were eventually elected to the expanded Football League
in 1892. They won the FA Cup for the first time in 1896,
beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 2–1 at Crystal Palace. Sheffield Wednesday players posing with
the FA Cup won in 1896
Owing to an expansion of the local railway lines, the club was
told that they would have to find a new ground for the 1899–
1900 season.[10] After a difficult search the club finally bought some land in the village of Owlerton, which
at the time was several miles outside the Sheffield city boundaries. Construction of a new stadium (now
known as Hillsborough Stadium) was completed within months and the club was secured for the next
century. In a strong decade, Wednesday won the League in the 1902–03 and 1903–04 seasons and the FA
Cup again in 1907, beating Everton 2–1, again at Crystal Palace. When competitive football was
suspended in 1915 because of the outbreak of World War I, the club participated in several regionalised war
leagues, until 1919, when competitive football resumed.

They were relegated from the top flight for the first time in 1920, and did not return until 1926, and in the
1927–28 season they looked like going down again before securing a haul of 17 points from their last 10
matches to secure safety. Wednesday went on to win the League title the following season (1928–29),
which started a run that saw the team finishing lower than third only once until 1936.[11] The period was
topped off with the team winning the FA Cup for the third time in the club's history in 1935. When World
War II began, the club entered non-competitive war leagues, returning to competitive football in 1946.

The yo-yo years (1945–1959)

The 1950s saw Wednesday unable to consistently hold on to a position in the top flight and this period
became known as the yo-yo years.[12] After being promoted in 1950 they were relegated three times,
although each time they returned to the top flight by winning the Second Division the following season.
The decade ended on a high note with the team finishing in the top half of the First Division for the first
time since World War II.

Back in the top flight and title contenders (1959–1970)

In 1961, the club ran toe-to-toe with Tottenham Hotspur at the top of the table for the majority of the season
– Wednesday became the first team to beat Spurs all season – before finally finishing in second place,
which still (as of 2022) remains the club's highest post-war league finish. In 1966 the club reached its fifth
FA Cup final, but they were beaten 3–2 by Everton, having led 2–0.

Off the field the club was embroiled in the British betting scandal of 1964 in which three of its players,
Peter Swan, David Layne and Tony Kay, were accused of match fixing and betting against their own team
in an away game at Ipswich Town. The three were subsequently convicted and, on release from prison,
banned from football for life.[13] The three were reprieved in the early 1970s, with Swan and Layne
returning to Hillsborough, and, though their careers were virtually over, Swan at least played some league
games for The Owls.

Darkest days and the fight back to the top

(1970–1984)

Wednesday were relegated at the end of the 1969–70 season; this

began the darkest period in the club's history, eventually
culminating in the club dropping to the Third Division for the first
time in its history, and in 1976 it almost fell into the Fourth
Division. It was not until the appointment of Jack Charlton as

manager in 1977 that the club started to climb back up the league

pyramid. Charlton led the Owls back to the Second Division in
1980 before handing the reins to Howard Wilkinson, who took the
club back into the top flight in 1984, after an absence of 14 years.

Life at the top of the Premier League & European Football (1984–2000)

Wednesday enjoyed success in its return to the top flight, finishing 8th in their first season back and then
5th the season later, qualifying for European football only to be disqualified due to England's ban in Europe
due to the Heysel Stadium disaster.

On 15 April 1989 the club's stadium was the scene of one of the worst sporting tragedies ever, at the FA
Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, at which 97 Liverpool fans were fatally crushed
in the Leppings Lane end of the stadium.[14] The tragedy resulted in many changes at Hillsborough and all
other leading stadiums in England; it was required that terracing would be replaced with seats in stands,[15]
and that perimeter fencing should be removed.[16]

In Ron Atkinson's first full season as manager, 1989–90, Sheffield Wednesday finished 18th in the First
Division and were relegated on goal difference, despite the acquisition of the talented John Sheridan and
the fact they had pulled towards mid-table at one stage of the season. They regained promotion at the first
attempt but the real highlight of the season was a League Cup final victory over Atkinson's old club
Manchester United. Midfielder Sheridan scored the only goal of the game, which delivered the club's first
major trophy since their FA Cup success in 1935. Atkinson moved to Aston Villa shortly after promotion
was achieved, and handed over the reins to 37-year-old striker Trevor Francis.

Wednesday finished third in the First Division at the end of the 1991–92 season, booking their place in the
following season's UEFA Cup and becoming a founder member of the new FA Premier League.

1992–93 was one of the most eventful seasons in the history of Sheffield Wednesday football club. They
finished seventh in the Premier League and reached the finals of both the FA Cup and the League Cup, but
were on the losing side to Arsenal in both games, the FA Cup final going to a replay and only settled in the
last minute of extra time. This prevented the Owls from making another appearance in European
competition. Still, the 1992–93 season established Sheffield Wednesday as a top club. Midfielder Chris
Waddle was voted Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year, and the strike partnership of David
Hirst and Mark Bright was one of the most feared in the country. Francis was unable to achieve any more
success at the club, and two seasons later he was sacked. His successor was former Luton, Leicester and
Tottenham manager David Pleat.
David Pleat's first season as Sheffield Wednesday manager was frustrating, as they finished 15th in the
Premiership despite an expensively-assembled line-up which included the likes of Marc Degryse, Dejan
Stefanovic and Darko Kovacevic – who all had disappointing and short-lived tenures at the club. An
excellent start to the 1996–97 season saw the Owls top the Premiership after winning their first four games,
and David Pleat was credited Manager of the Month for August 1996. But the club failed to mount a
serious title challenge and they faded away to finish seventh in the final table. Pleat was sacked the
following November with the club struggling at the wrong end of the Premiership, and Ron Atkinson
briefly returned to steer the Owls clear of relegation.

At the end of the 1997–98 season, Ron Atkinson's short-term contract was not renewed and Sheffield
Wednesday turned to the Barnsley boss Danny Wilson as their new manager, after being rejected by both
Gerard Houllier and Walter Smith who joined Liverpool and Everton respectively. Wilson's first season at
the helm brought a slight improvement as they finished 12th in the Premiership.

Modern highs and lows (2000–2014)

An expensively assembled squad including Paolo Di Canio, Benito Carbone and Wim Jonk failed to live
up to the massive wage bill the club was paying and things eventually came to a head when Italian
firebrand Di Canio was sent off in a match against Arsenal and proceeded to push the referee on his way
off.[17] Danny Wilson was sacked the following March with relegation looking a certainty for the
Hillsborough club,[18] following a disastrous 1999–2000 season where they had been hammered 8–0 by
Newcastle United as early as September.[19] His assistant Peter Shreeves took temporary charge but was
unable to stave off relegation, with a 3–3 draw at Arsenal in May 2000 being enough to see the Owls
tumble into the First Division.[20]

Having spent large sums building squads that were ultimately

ineffective, the club's finances took a turn for the worse, and in
2003 they were relegated for a second time in four years, to the
Second Division.[21]

The club spent two years in the third tier before returning the
Championship, Paul Sturrock's side winning promotion via the
play-offs in 2005.[22] Ultimately however, the club's perilous The Owls playing in their final away
financial position ensured another drop to League 1 was not too far match of the 1999-2000 Premier
away – five years after the play-off win of 2005, the Owls were League season, at Arsenal in May
again relegated to League 1.[23] 2000

Between July and November 2010, Sheffield Wednesday faced a

series of winding up orders for unpaid tax and VAT bills, with the club's existence under severe
threat.[24][25][26] It was not until 29 November 2010, when businessman Milan Mandarić agreed to buy out
the old owners, that the club could move forward.

Mandarić appointed former Wednesday player Gary Megson as manager partway through the 2010–11
season, and while Megson only stayed in the job for a year, what was mostly his side won promotion back
to the Championship in May 2012, under the stewardship of new manager Dave Jones.[27]

The Chansiri era (2014–present)

 In 2014 the club was again taken over by a new owner, Thai
businessman Dejphon Chansiri, purchasing the club from Milan
Mandarić for £37.5m.[28] Chansiri stated his intention to win
promotion back to the club for the 2017–18 season – the football
club's 150th anniversary – and came close to achieving that goal a
year head of schedule, with new coach Carlos Carvalhal leading
the club into the end of season play-offs at the end of the 2015–16
season. Wednesday were beaten in the final by Hull City at
Wembley. They made the play-offs again the following season, but

The Championship, on 5 May 2012
The club were favourites to be promoted in the 2017–18 season,
but injuries and poor results saw them drop to the lower half of the
table. Carvalhal left by mutual consent in December 2017, and was replaced by Dutch manager Jos
Luhukay a month later.[30][31] The team finished in an uneventful 15th place at the end of the season.
Luhukay was sacked in December 2018 after a run of only 1 win in 10, which left the team 18th in the
table.[32] He was replaced by former Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce who saw an upturn in form to finish
12th. However, Bruce controversially resigned in July 2019 to manage Newcastle United.[33]

On 6 September 2019, the club appointed former Birmingham City manager Garry Monk as the new
manager, who achieved a 16th-place finish in a season that was interrupted from March to June by the
COVID-19 pandemic.[34][35][36] On 31 July 2020, Sheffield Wednesday were found guilty of breaking
EFL spending rules and began the 2020–21 season on –12 points, though the deficit was later reduced to –
6 upon appeal.[37][38] On 9 November 2020, Monk was sacked after a poor start to the season and was
replaced by Tony Pulis.[39] However, Pulis was also dismissed after only 45 days in charge on 28
December 2020.[40] After a few months with Neil Thompson as caretaker manager, Darren Moore was
appointed as the club's third permanent manager of the season in March 2021.[41] Despite taking the fight
to the final day, Moore could not prevent relegation come the end of the season, bringing Wednesday's 9-
year spell in the Championship to an end.[42]

Nickname, kits, crest and traditions

Nickname

In their early years, the club was nicknamed The Blades, a term used for any sporting team from the city of
Sheffield, famous the world over for its cutlery and knives. That nickname has been retained by
Wednesday's crosstown rivals, Sheffield United.

Although it is widely assumed that the club's nickname changed to The Owls in 1899 after the club's move
to Owlerton, it was not until 1912, when Wednesday player George Robertson presented the club with an
owl mascot, that the name took hold. A monkey mascot introduced some years earlier had not brought
much luck.[43]

Kits

Since its founding the club has played their home games in blue and white shirts, traditionally in vertical
stripes. However, this has not always been the case and there have been variations upon the theme. A
monochrome photograph from 1874 to 1875 shows the Wednesday team in plain dark shirts,[44] while the
1871 "Rules of the Sheffield Football Association" listed the Wednesday club
colours as blue and white hoops.[11] A quartered blue and white design was used
in 1887 and a blue shirt with white sleeves between 1965 and 1973.[45]
Wednesday's socks have been predominantly black, blue or white throughout their
history.

The club's away strip has changed regularly over the years. Traditionally, white
was the second choice for many teams, including Wednesday, although the club
has used a multitude of colours for its change strip over the years, including yellow, The Wednesday's
black, silver, green and orange. home shirt of 1871.
It is assumed that
these were the
Crest original colours
used by the team.
Since 1912, the owl has become a theme that has run throughout the club. The
original club crest was introduced in 1956[46] and consisted of a shield showing a
traditionally drawn owl perched on a branch. The White Rose of York[47] was depicted below the branch
alluding to the home county of Yorkshire and the sheaves of Sheffield (Sheaf field) were shown at either
side of the owl's head. The club's Latin motto, Consilio et Animis, was displayed beneath the shield.[46]
This translates into English as "By Wisdom and Courage".[48]

The crest was changed in 1970 to a minimalist version designed by a local art student, and this logo was
used by the club, with variations, until 1995, when it was replaced by a similar design to the original crest.
It again featured a traditionally drawn owl perched on a branch although the design of both had changed.
The sheaves were replaced by a stylised SWFC logo that had been in use on club merchandise for several
years prior to the introduction of the new crest. The Yorkshire Rose was moved to above the owl's head to
make way for the words Sheffield Wednesday. The word Hillsborough was also curved around the top of
the design. The club motto was absent on the new design. The crest was encased in a new shape of shield.
This crest remained in use for only a few years, during which several versions were used with different
colours, including a white crest with blue stripes down either side and the colouring of the detail
inverted.[49]

In 1999, the minimalist version was brought back, albeit inside a crest, and with the addition of a copyright
symbol in 2002.[46] In 2016, new owner Dejphon Chansiri again changed the club crest, opting for a
similar design to the 1956 badge.

Mascots

Over the years Sheffield Wednesday have had several Owl themed
matchday mascots. Originally it was Ozzie the Owl and later two
further Owls, Baz & Ollie were added. All three were replaced in
2006 by Barney Owl, a similar looking owl but with more defined
eyes to make it look cuter. Ozzie Owl was reintroduced as
Wednesday's main mascot during the home game with Charlton
Athletic on 17 January 2009. The current mascots are Ozzie and
Barney Owl. In 2012, Ollie Owl also made his return to the scene,
as the club announced him Mascot for the Owls work with children
Ozzie Owl, the primary club mascot
in the local community.

Stadium

Past stadiums

Originally, Wednesday played matches at Highfield, but moved several times before adopting a permanent
ground. Other locations included Myrtle Road, Heeley and Hunter's Bar. Major matches were played at
Sheaf House or Bramall Lane, before Sheffield United made it their home ground.[10] Sheffield
Wednesday's first permanent home ground was at Olive Grove, a site near Queen's Road originally leased
from the Duke of Norfolk. The first game at Olive Grove was a 4–4 draw with Blackburn Rovers on 12
September 1887. Extensions to the adjacent railway forced the club to move to their current ground in
1899.

Hillsborough Stadium
Since 1899 Wednesday have played their home games at Hillsborough Stadium in the Owlerton district of
Sheffield. The stadium was originally named Owlerton Stadium but in 1914 Owlerton became part of the
parliamentary constituency of Hillsborough and the ground took on its current name.[50] With 39,732 seats,
Hillsborough has the 12th highest capacity in England. The club had intended to increase Hillsborough's
capacity to 44,825 by 2012 and 50,000 by 2016 and make several other improvements in the process, but
due to England's failed World Cup bid, this is now not the case.[51]

The stadium has hosted World Cup football in 1966, the 1996 European Championships and 27 FA Cup
semi-finals. The Kop at Hillsborough was re-opened in 1986 by Queen Elizabeth II and was once the
largest covered stand of any football stadium in Europe.[52]

On 15 April 1989, at an FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, 94 Liverpool fans
(later increasing to 97) were crushed to death after the terraces at the Leppings Lane end of the ground
became overcrowded, in what became known as the Hillsborough disaster. The following report concluded
that the root cause of the disaster was the failure of local police to adequately manage the crowds.[53][54] A
memorial to the victims of the disaster stands outside Hillsborough's South Stand, near the main entrance on
Parkside Road. After many years of dispute about the facts, in June 2017 six men responsible for safety
were charged with criminal offences including manslaughter and misconduct in public office.[55]

Supporters
The club's move to Owlerton in 1899 was a risky one, as it moved
the club several miles away from the city centre, but its loyal
followers continued to make the journey to the new ground, and
the club has been one of the best supported in England ever since.
However, official attendances were not taken at Football League
games until the 1920s.

The club's highest average attendance over the course of a season Wednesday fans at Hillsborough in
was 42,530 in 1952–53, when gates across the country were at 2015
their highest. The lowest average attendance in the Owls' history
came in 1978–79, when an average of just 10,643 fans turned out
to watch their side.
In 1992, Wednesday were the fourth best supported team in the country, but although that ranking has
come down since relegation from the Premier League in 2000, the club still has still enjoyed crowds of well
over 20,000 since then, and was the best supported club outside the top flight in 2006.[56][57][58]

At the 2005 play-off Final, Wednesday took over 39,000 fans to the Millennium Stadium.[59] In 2016,
Sheffield Wednesday took over 38,000 fans to Wembley for a play-off final defeat by Hull City, selling
substantially more seats than their counterparts many of whom boycotted the game. The Owls have
managed to average 30,000 at home in the last 60 years. The FA Cup Final seasons in 1965–66 30000 and
1966–67 31,000 plus 32,000 when coming League Championship runners-up in 1960–61.

Sheffield Wednesday have had a large variety of fanzines over the years; examples include Just Another
Wednesday, Out of the Blue, Spitting Feathers, Boddle, A View From The East Bank, Cheat! and War of
the Monster Trucks, which acquired its name from the programme that Yorkshire Television elected to
show instead of the celebrations after the 1991 League Cup victory over Manchester United.[60]

There are several online message boards dedicated to discussions on the club, including Owlstalk,
OwlsOnline and OwlsMad.

Rivalry
Sheffield Wednesday's main rivals are city neighbours Sheffield
United.[61] Matches between these two clubs are nicknamed Steel
City derbies, so called because of the steel industry for which the
city of Sheffield is famous.

United were formed in 1889 by the committee at Bramall Lane,

who had lost their biggest source of income – Wednesday – two
years earlier over a dispute concerning pitch rent. As well as
playing at Wednesday's former ground, United also took
Wednesday's former nickname, the Blades, as their own. The first Wednesday vs United just before the
derby game took place on 15 December 1890, with Wednesday 2012 league fixture at Hillsborough.

pip their rivals to promotion
The 1993 FA Cup semi-final match which took place at Wembley
on 3 April 1993. Initially, it was announced that the match was
scheduled to take place at Elland Road but this was met with dismay by both sets of fans. After a re-think,
the Football Association decided to switch venue to Wembley. A crowd of 75,365 supporters made the trip
to London to watch Wednesday beat United 2–1 after extra time.

A survey conducted in 2019 revealed that, as well as Sheffield United, Wednesday fans consider fellow-
Yorkshire sides Leeds United, Barnsley, Rotherham United and Doncaster Rovers as rivals.[63]

Records
Wednesday's biggest recorded win was a 12–0 home victory over
Halliwell in the first round of the FA Cup on 18 January 1891.[64]
The biggest league win was a 9–1 victory at home to Birmingham
in the First Division on 13 December 1930.[65] Wednesday's
heaviest defeat was a 10–0 defeat at Aston Villa in a First Division Historical league position since
match on 5 October 1912.[65] 1892–93

The most goals scored by the club in a season was the 106 scored
in the 1958–59 season.[65] The club accumulated their highest league points total in the 2011–12 when they
racked up 93 points.[65] The highest home attendance was in the FA Cup fifth round on 17 February 1934.
A total of 72,841 turned up to see a 2–2 draw with Manchester City.[66] The most-capped Englishman to
play for the club was goalkeeper Ron Springett, who won 33 caps while at Sheffield Wednesday. Springett
also held the overall record for most-capped Sheffield Wednesday player until Nigel Worthington broke the
record, eventually gaining a total of 50 caps for Northern Ireland whilst at the club.[67]

The fastest sending off in British league football is held by Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Kevin
Pressman – who was sent off after just 13 seconds for handling a shot from Wolverhampton Wanderers's
Temuri Ketsbaia outside the area during the opening weekend of 2000.[68] The fastest shot ever recorded in
the Premier League was hit by David Hirst against Arsenal at Highbury in September 1996 – Hirst hit the
bar with a shot clocked at 114 mph.[69]

Dickinson, who was in charge for 29 years, is Wednesday's longest-serving manager, and helped establish
the club during the first two decades of the 20th century.

Brown succeeded Dickinson and remained in charge for 13 years; in 1930 he secured their most recent top
division league title to date.

Taylor took over during the Second World War and remained in charge until 1958, but failed to win a
major trophy, even though Wednesday were in the top flight for most of his reign.

Charlton took Wednesday out of the Third Division in 1980 and in his final season (1982–83) he took them
to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

Wilkinson succeeded Charlton in the summer of 1983 and was in charge for more than five years before he
moved to Leeds United. His first season saw Wednesday gain promotion to the First Division after a 14-
year exile. He guided them to a fifth-place finish in 1986, but Wednesday were unable to compete in the
1986–87 UEFA Cup due to the ban on English teams in European competitions due to the Heysel Disaster
of 1985.

Francis took over as player-manager in June 1991 after Ron Atkinson (who had just guided them to
Football League Cup glory and promotion to the First Division) departed to Aston Villa. He guided them to
third place in the league in 1992, and earned them a UEFA Cup place. They finished seventh in the
inaugural Premier League and were runners-up of the FA Cup and League Cup that year. He was sacked in
1995 after Wednesday finished 13th – their lowest standing in four years since winning promotion.
