Sheffield Wednesday On This Day by Jason Dickinson

Sheffield Wednesday On This Day revisits all the most magical and memorable moments from the club's rollercoaster past, mixing in a maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce an irresistibly dippable Owls diary - with an entry for every day of the year. From the club's formation in 1867 to the Premier League era, the Hillsborough faithful have witnessed League and Cup triumphs, promotions and relegations, hard times and hard-fought local derbies - all featured here. Timeless greats such as Benito Carbone, Peter Swan and Derek Dooley, Terry Curran, Roland Nilsson and Mark Smith all loom larger than life. Revisit 3rd May 1930, when the Owls beat Man City 5-1, winning the League title with record points and goals scored. 13th August 1961: the club's first ever pre-season friendly, a 2-1 win against Ajax. Or 21st April 1991: underdog victory at Wembley in the League Cup against Man U.

Jason Dickinson is the author of Sheffield Wednesday Miscellany, The Wednesday Boys: A Who's Who of Sheffield Wednesday and 100 Years at Hillsborough. He was first taken to Hillsborough by his father Ken in the late 1970s, bought his first season ticket for the Kop in 1986, and started to write for the Owls' programme in 1994.
