ON THIS DAY

Thierry Henry joins Arsenal from Juventus for £11m – Arsène Wenger’s best Arsenal signing?

When football was starting to become popular The Wednesday Cricket Club in Sheffield formed a football offshoot calling the new club - believe it or not - The Wednesday Football Club. Ok the new club was generally known as the Sheffield Wednesday but their official name when they joined the Football League in 1892 and won their first League Championship in 1903 remained The Wednesday Football Club. It wasn't until 3rd August 1929 that they finally did the paperwork to officially become Sheffield Wednesday FC.
