German Translation and Gainsborough Wednesday

My German friends have been helping translate some of my material on 1FC Nuremberg. So that's good news.

Also, we have discovered that Sheffield Wednesday was not the first 'Wednesday' club that Fred played for. We have discovered several Summer matches that he played for a team called Gainsborough Wednesday. This was in the summer of 1887. So far we have found 5 games, quite a few goals were scored in the games but on the most part they were left uncredited. Fred did score 2 in a 3-2 defeat to another summer football team that contained several excellent Trinity players.
