Guest JonTheOwl66 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Just said apparently we are called The Owls because one of our players 'presented us with an Owl before the game' Is this true? Always thought it was because we were near Owlerton.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought it was because we were near Owlerton.. This is the player, George Robertson and this is the lucky Owl he presented to the club. We were of course nicknamed the Blades at one time but that was a rubbish name so we cast it aside for some underachieving bottlers to use!

dunsbyowl Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 The story goes that he presented the Owl in the summer of 1912 - In October the Owl was placed in under the roof of the North Stand and Wednesday promptly won 4 games on the trot.
