Where did Sheffield Wednesday get their name? Did they once belong to a midweek league?
Thankyou.

Does this help?

I didn't read it through, so apologies if it's rubbish!

The story I've heard is that they were originally a team of butchers? whose day off was Wednesday -- therefore it was the only day they could play. That may not be right but it could be a starting point for you.
