Sheffield Wednesday have tasted success over the course of their history including winning four First Division titles, three FA Cups and a League Cup.
The Owls were formed all the way back in 1867 when they were known as The Wednesday Football Club. This makes them the second-oldest professional football club in England. They eventually became Sheffield Wednesday Football Club in 1929.
The South Yorkshire-based outfit play at Hillsborough, which has been their home stadium since it’s opening in 1899. The stadium has a capacity of nearly 40,000 people. The club’s main rivals are their neighbours in the steel city, Sheffield United.
Arthur Dickinson has managed the club more than anyone else, taking charge of Wednesday 919 times between August 1891 and May 1920. He also won the club two First Division titles and two FA Cups.
The club’s record appearance holder is Andrew Wilson with 501 appearances for the Owls between 1900 and 1920.
The club have competed in European competition including the UEFA Cup in a total of five seasons in their history (1961/62, 1963/64, 1986/87, 1991/92, and 1992/93).
They were one of the founding members of the Premier League back in 1992, but they have not played in England’s top-flight for over two decades since they were relegated in 2000.
Recently they club have dropped as far down as League Two, but are currently in the Championship under the management of Danny Rohl.
The German is currently the youngest manager in the Football League.
