Did he say he preferred The W*dneday though because of their attendances? Like every other foreigner since?

Weren't they still called "The Wednesday" at that time - no reference to Sheffield?
Thought I'd read somewhere on here that they prefixed Wednesday with Sheffield from 1921.

Superb piece below from the BBC about football and WW1. It features mainly Jimmy Seed, and despite his Wednesday connections it's still a good read. The 1915 Final at Old Trafford gets a mention:

Oh, I read that at ISO Years of Sheffield Wednesday.

... as though it was some international standard of shit
