EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the excitement and energy of a Sheffield Wednesday football match at Owlerton Stadium in Sheffield, Yorkshire, around 1904. The team, dressed in their blue and white striped shirts, are deeply focused as they take to the field, with their opponents, likely an opposing team from the region, waiting in the background. The Edwardian-era crowd, dressed in their Sunday best, watch intently from the sidelines, their expressions a mix of anticipation and support for their team. The grandstands of Owlerton Stadium, later renamed Hillsborough, loom in the background, a testament to the growing popularity of football in the early 1900s. The crisp autumn leaves on the ground add a sense of seasonality to the scene, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past of Sheffield Wednesday FC and the early days of football in Yorkshire. This photograph is a wonderful reminder of the rich history and tradition of football in Sheffield and the passion it continues to inspire in fans today.
