  Sheffield Wednesday F.C. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Sheffield Wednesday were last Football League Champions in 1930 and have not won the FA Cup since 1935, though they won the Football League Cup in 1991 and were on the losing side in both domestic finals in 1993.
Wednesday was traditionally the day that the local craftsmen who formed the club took their half-day off to play sports.
Wednesday's original nickname was "the Blades" - now the nickname of their long-term rivals, Sheffield United - until the start of the 20th century when a player presented them with an owl mascot to honour their stadium at Hillsborourgh.

Evidence however suggests that the club was known as Sheffield Wednesday as far back as 1883, the former ground at Olive Grove had the name Sheffield Wednesday painted on the stand roof and indeed the winner's name on the FA Cup was inscribed as Sheffield Wednesday in both 1896 and 1907.
