Sheffield
Wednesday: Head to Head
Peter Waring
Sheffield Wednesday: Head to Head reveals
for the first time how the Owls have performed against
every club they’ve ever played, in any competition,
since the club entered the Football League. From Altrincham
to York City, Wednesday’s complete record of
matches against each club is looked at in detail and
illustrated with pictures. Also included is a table
of players who’ve played for both clubs and
a ‘fact file’ highlighting the most surprising
nuggets to be gleaned from this fresh way of interpreting
the club’s statistics.
Did you know that of all the 123 teams that Wednesday
have ever played, Glossop are the only one against
whom they have never scored? Or that the Owls’
biggest-ever win in the league came in December 1930
when they beat Birmingham 9-1? Within these pages
you will discover that of all the teams they have
played, the Owls have faced Everton most often; that
in December 1995 Wednesday scored six goals in a Premiership
match for the first and so far only time; and that
Hillsborough’s highest-ever attendance came
in 1934 in an FA Cup tie – 72,841 crammed into
the ground. All these facts and figures, along with
countless others, are easily accessible in Sheffield
Wednesday: Head to Head, which deserves a place
on any fan’s bookshelf.
