Personalised Sheffield Wednesday Football Books

Enjoy a Newspaper History of the Owls

Sheffield Wednesday FC was formed in 1867 when the Wednesday Cricket Club was expanded to include football. Football was only intended to help the team remain fit during the winter months, but it soon became very popular and the main source of revenue at the club. The cricket side later disbanded. Sheffield Wednesday Football Club turned professional in 1887, but they were denied entry into the Football League. The Owls became founder members of the break-away Football Alliance in 1889 and they won the inaugural league championship. Wednesday also won the FA Cup that season and the club’s success eventually led them into the First Division three years later. Sheffield Wednesday went on to become a highly accomplished side, winning four league titles and two further FA Cups by the mid-1930s. The Owls struggled to match this success over the following decades. Sheffield Wednesday reached the FA Cup final in 1966, but the Owls did not win another trophy until the 1990s. The drought was broken in 1991 with a win over Manchester United in the League Cup final.

Stoke Football Book I was looking for an unique present for my husbands 50th birthday and found gone digging when looking for a special gift. He is a life long Stoke supporter and he was surprised and very happy with the book. As we live in Canada I was hoping it would arrive in time for his birthday and was surprised when it arrived a week ahead of the scheduled date. 20 May 2013
Great Gift Idea We bought this gift for our dads 70th birthday and were lucky enough to get the Charlton team and manger to sign it. Even the Manger commented on what a unique gift it is. Our dad loved it and we would highly recommend . 07 May 2013
Best purchase My husband was given a Newcastle United football book for his 70th birthday last year by friends. He was delighted with it as he was brought up in Newcastle and has been an avid fan although he left the area as a youth to join the Army. His younger brother who also supports Newcastle has also moved away but is still a supporter. He is 70 on June 1st so we had the book sent to his son in Grimsby where they all live now. he will wrap and present it on the day. WE are away on a cruise at the time so we are unable to attend the celebrations. We will see the photos. I hope this review is helpful. 05 May 2013
