But who makes the ultimate XI of players who did exactly that? Let’s take a look at some of the very best England Owls.
13. SUB - Tommy Crawshaw
From 1894-1908 Tommy Crawshaw was at the centre of everything Sheffield Wednesday, making 418 appearances for the club and scoring 25 goals from centre-half. He unsurprisingly played 10 times for England, scoring one goal. Photo: Picasa
14. SUB - Mel Sterland
One of the many one-cap wonders having played against Malta in 1988, Mel Sterland won titles at both Leeds and Rangers but it was with Wednesday that he made his name, playing 347 times. Photo: Getty Images
15. SUB - David Hirst
Wednesday are seemingly blessed with England-capped striking talent, and David Hirst is certainly that, having lead the line in one of the club's most successful periods from 1986-1997. Played three times for England in a 2-0 win over New Zealand in 1990. Photo: Shaun Botterill
16. SUB - Andy Sinton
The proud owner of a dozen England caps, Sinton earned two of these while a Wednesday player, against Holland and San Marino in 1993. Played 62 times for the Owls from 1993-96. Photo: Simon Bruty
