Why is Sheffield Wednesday named after a day of the week?



Answers:
Because as you know Sheffield used to be world famous for its steel.
On Wednesday afternoons it used to be half day for the 'little mesters' ('masters' of small forges) so they got a football team together to play on a Wednesday afternoon.
The steel died but the team lives on!
