This collection charts the first 100 years of a proud, well-supported club from the city that gave organised football to the world, from its birth as an offshoot of a cricket club, through to Football League and FA Cup triumphs, featuring insights into the everyday life of the players and the club. Included in the collection are team groups, action shots, player portraits and photographs of the Hillsborough stadium as it has been developed, with each picture supported by a detailed caption. Legendary Wednesday players featured in this pictorial history include Thomas Crawshaw, Ted Catlin, Ronnie Starling, Jackie Robinson, Redfern Froggatt and Derek Dooley, along with pioneering administrator Sir Charles Clegg. Written by Sheffield-born journalist Nick Johnson, this superb collection of around 200 photographs provides a fascinating glimpse into the past of a top football club and is an essential read for all Owls fans.
