dunsbyowl Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Came across this story in the Sheffield & Rotherham Independent newspaper from October 1890 which illustrates that they have had been a classless act and a bunch of scrubbers from the beginning.

KivoOwl Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Wonderful buddy - nice to see someone else taking an interest in old papers! Wednesday & United settled their matters in their first ever game two months later. Wednesday won 2-1 at Olive Grove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good diggin' matey. Interesting to note that they refer to us as "Sheffield Wednesday" rather than "The Wednesday". Sloppy reporting, maybe.
