Sheffield Wednesday Football Club are a football club based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, who are currently competing in the Football League One in the 2011-12 season, in England. Sheffield Wednesday are one of the oldest professional clubs in the world and the fourth oldest in the English league. The Wednesday, as they were named until 1929, were founding members of The Football Alliance in 1889, and its first champions that inaugural season. The Wednesday joined The Football League three years later when the leagues merged. Sheffield Wednesday were also one of the founding members of The Premier League in 1992. Their main rivals are Sheffield United, the two clubs having contested the Steel City derby on a regular basis for some 100 years. Hull City, Barnsley, Leeds United, Bradford City, Huddersfield Town, Rotherham United, Chesterfield and Doncaster Rovers are also local rivals.The Owls have spent the majority of their history in the top flight of English football since joining the Football League in 1892. They have won four League titles, three FA Cups and one League Cup, but their League Cup triumph in 1991 is their only major trophy since 1935. They did reach both domestic cup finals in 1993, but lost 2 � 1 to Arsenal at Wembley on both occasions

They play their home matches at Hillsborough Stadium in the north-western suburb of Hillsborough. It is a 39,812 all-seater stadium built in 1899 when the lease expired at their previous ground of Olive Grove.

RIP Copyright BBC Radio Merseyside. The Hillsborough Disaster was a human crush that occurred on 15 April 1989 at Hillsborough, a football stadium, the home of Sheffield Wednesday FC in Sheffield, England, resulting in the deaths of 96 people, all fans of Liverpool FC It remains the deadliest stadium-related disaster in British history and one of the worst in international football. It was the second of two stadium-related disasters involving Liverpool supporters, the other being the Heysel Stadium Disaster in 1985. The match was an FA Cup semi-final tie between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. It was abandoned six minutes into the game. The inquiry into the disaster, the Taylor Report, named the cause as failure of police control, and resulted in the conversion of many football stadiums in the United Kingdom to all-seater and the removal of barriers at the front of stands.

The song was recorded by Liverpool artists The Christians, Holly Johnson, Paul McCartney, Gerry Marsden and Stock Aitken Waterman. The single held the #1 spot in the UK chart for three weeks.

Manchester United comprehensively made their way through to the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup with a professional four nil victory over Torquay United at Moss Lane. With Adnan Januzaj and Jack Rudge in midfield, the Reds had total control over the midfield, culminating in the lion's share of possession and their passing game along with some link up play from Tom Lawrence and Jack Barmby meaning that there was plenty of clever interchange involved. Torquay however set out to spoil and their hard work and defending thwarted United up until the 17th minute. This is when after a couple of earlier efforts and wasted chances Lawrence struck a beauty from 25-30 yards out. Upon receiving the ball from midfield he only had one thing on his mind -- shoot, and that he did low into the bottom corner, leaving the keeper helpless for his fifth goal of the season and a well-deserved lead for the holders.

Sam Baldock missed this penalty in the West Ham Vs Sheffield Wednesday game on the 8th January 2012. This game was a 3rd Round FA Cup tie and he should have put it away. Sheffield Wednesday went on to win the match 1 nil.
