@owlstalk Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 This is where Sheffield Wednesday FC began The Adelphi Hotel where the meeting took place to form Sheffield Wednesday Football Club This great looking building stood where the Crucible Theatre now stands.

steveger Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 The building had way more character than the monstrous Crucible by the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also Sheffield Football Association. Prior to that I also think that the Sheffield Rules may have been agreed there at an AGM of Sheffield FC? Possibly the most important place in the history of football. But it's not in that London so can't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must at least be something about Sheffield FC though surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
