Sheffield Wednesday unveils headstone for club captain Ambrose Langley

A headstone was installed at Burngreave Cemetery on June 14 for Ambrose Langley, who captained Sheffield Wednesday to its first league title. The fundraising campaign led by historians Clive Nicholson and Tom Crawshaw raised over £5,000 to commemorate Langley, who had been buried in an unmarked grave for more than 30 years. The new headstone honors his significant contributions to the club's history, leading them to First Division promotion and League Championship in the 1902-03 season. Alongside the headstone, Nicholson and Crawshaw published a commemorative 52-page booklet celebrating Langley's life and career, further acknowledging his impact on the club.
