HOW DOES IT WORK?

WHEN IS IT?

ANDYSMANCLUBs meet every Monday at 7pm (excluding Bank Holiday Mondays).

AD

The process is about bringing men together who have been in similar situations, to help each other on a peer to peer basis, sharing how they have dealt with various situations through lived experiences. No matter how big or small your problem feels, we are here to support each other. The 5 questions that are asked each week are designed not only to encourage men to talk, but to start to focus on the positives and on strategies to keep moving forward. There is no pressure to answer any of the questions and it is not uncommon for men to just listen for the first few sessions.

The clubs all run on the same format and adhere to the same guidelines. A key principle of ANDYSMANCLUB is anything that is said in the club, stays within the club.

The following have significant interests in the shareholdings of the company: Richard Tims (7.91%), James Healey (6.13%) and Jeremy Levine (50.7%).

The Daniel Wilkinson Foundation is a charity set up in memory of Daniel Wilkinson who died in 2016 aged 24, while playing the game he loved, from an underlying heart condition called Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC).

Dan played football from an early age and joined Hull City AFC when he was 10, earning a professional contract aged 18. Loughborough University followed where he completed a degree in Accounting and Financial Management while playing non-league football. He was an athlete who enjoyed the gym and took his health and nutrition very seriously. He lived life to the full and had so much ahead of him.

Other than feeling light-headed on a few occasions in the month before he died, he had no symptoms!

SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH IN THE YOUNG (SCD)

SCD is the leading cause of death in young athletes during sport and the majority of deaths occur with NO SYMPTOMS or family history.

ARVC can be found in one in every 1,000 to 5,000 young adults - IF IT IS LOOKED FOR.

Warning signs may include light-headedness, fainting, palpitations, swollen legs, breathlessness.

Every week in the UK, 12 apparently fit and healthy young people (aged 35 and under) die from previously undiagnosed heart conditions.

In Italy, where screening is mandatory for all young people engaged in organised sport, they have reduced the incidence of young sudden cardiac death by 89%.

OUR MISSION

The Daniel Wilkinson Foundation has been set up to raise awareness of SCD and to provide funding towards heart screening, defibrillators and CPR/defibrillator training primarily for grass-roots sporting teams.

Tragedies can be prevented through cardiac screening. It is vital that young people are identified and treated.

Words from the Gaffer

t’s a real privilege to be back at the Home of Football today, this time as manager of this historic club. To stand here, representing Sheffield FC, the world’s first football club, is a tremendous honor. I’m excited about the journey ahead and the opportunity to help take the club forward. Our focus is on improving results this season, building a team that reflects the rich tradition of this great club while striving for progress and success on the pitch.

We made a strong start earlier this week with a hard-fought point away at Consett. Coming back from two goals down showed the resilience and character in this squad, and it’s something we can definitely build on. It was encouraging to see the players digging deep and fighting for the shirt, which is exactly the attitude we need moving forward. That determination will be vital as we take on today’s challenge against Emley AFC.

Emley are a tough side and their position near the top of the table speaks for itself. We know the challenge they bring, but this squad is ready to embrace it. We’ve been working hard in training to prepare for today’s test, and I’m confident the players are up for it. Playing here at the Home of Football adds that extra motivation, and I’m eager to see what the team can deliver in front of our supporters.

Speaking of the fans, I want to say a huge thank you for the warm welcome I’ve received since joining the club. Your passion and support are what make this place special, and we’ll be doing everything we can to provide the results you deserve. Together, I believe we can push this club forward and create moments we can all be proud of. Let’s make it a great game today!

History of The World’s First

Early Football.

Versions of football evolved in many early civilisations, example of these can be found in ancient China, Greece and Rome. In England the original games were played between villages in fields and streets. This ‘Mob Football’ involved hundreds of players and was little more than prolonged and violent street battles.

In the 19th century a more refined version of the game grew in popularity within the public schools and universities, each playing to their own sets of rules.

The Birth of Sheffield Foot Ball Club.

During the 1850s the enthusiasm and influence of ex-public school and university students spread the popularity of the game around Sheffield. In the summer of 1857 William Prest and Nathaniel Creswick agreed that the game would be a splendid candidate for organised sport during the winter months. The pair wrote

to the Public Schools for information, regarding their varying rules, with the aim of drawing up a set of laws embodying the best points from each. On October 24th, 1857, the world’s first football club was born in a greenhouse. Among the first rules drawn up were laws asserting that “no hacking or tripping up is fair under any circumstances”, “no player may be held or pulled over” and “it is not lawful to take the ball off the ground [using hands]”. Upon the formation of the Football Association in 1863, Sheffield Club’s insistence on these laws helped lead the evolution of the game we recognise globally today. Heading, crossbars, corner kicks, free-kicks for fouls, throw-ins, a half-time change of ends and floodlit matches can all be traced to the innovators of Sheffield F.C.

Early Years

Initially early matches, such as Married men v Unmarried, were played between club members. Records also show games against local army sides. Following victory over the 58th

Army Regiment in 1860 a local report stated that, “most of the officers were adepts at the game, having, in their younger days, played in the public school matches, and the victory of the civilians was quite unexpected.” Following the birth of Hallam F.C., the world’s first inter-club game took place on Boxing Day in 1860. The match “was conducted with good temper and in a friendly spirit”, concluding in a 2-0 win for Sheffield. For several years all matches were played locally, against a rising number of new sides, before the first ‘out of town’ match was played in Nottinghamshire in 1865. In 1866 Sheffield became the first non- London side to play under FA Laws when they met London at Battersea Park. The FA Cup was founded in 1871 and in its third season Sheffield became the first northern side to take part and the first nonLondon side to win a tie. They succeeded in reaching the quarter finals in this and two further seasons also, 1876 and 1878, the club’s support helping the FA Cup nearly treble in size

and become a nationwide competition. 1872 saw the first international game, between England and Scotland in Glasgow, with Sheffield’s Charles Clegg playing for the England side. Clegg would later go on to be Chairman, and President, of the FA and receive a knighthood for his services to the game. From the 1880s onwards the rise of professionalism and Sheffield Club’s firm insistence on retaining their amateur status saw them overtaken and overshadowed by other sides in the area. During these years the very survival of the club owed much to the leadership of former players Harry Chambers and Harry Broughton Willey. It wasn’t all doom and gloom though! In fact Sheffield enjoyed possibly their greatest hour in 1904 when they won the Amateur Cup, beating Ealing 3-1 at Valley Parade, Bradford.

YORKSHIRE LEAGUE

1949 brought admission to the Yorkshire League and a resurgence, which saw the side promoted to Division 1 in their third season and reach the League Cup final in 1953. In 1957 they celebrated their Centenary year and reached their first Sheffield & Hallamshire FA Cup final in 1962. After a period of yo-yoing between divisions the 1977 side were crowned Division

2 Champions and reached that season’s FA Vase final at Wembley. They established themselves as a top division side in the Yorkshire League, lifting the League Cup in 1978, before joining the newly founded Northern Counties East League in 1982.

NORTHERN COUNTIES LEAGUE

The Division 1 title was won in both 1989 and 1991 and a first Sheffield & Hallamshire FA Cup win came in 1994. In 2001 the club acquired a permanent ground, for the first time, when moving to its current home. After the turn of the century the side began to consistently challenge for promotion, also winning the League Cup and Sheffield & Hallamshire FA Cup twice apiece. The 2006/07 season ended with a 2nd place finish and promotion to the Northern Premier League.

NORTHERN PREMIER LEAGUE

Club made an instant impact in reaching the 2008 play-off final, narrowly losing only on penalties. That first season also saw games against Inter Milan and Ajax at Bramall Lane, as part of the 150th birthday celebrations. The side have reached the NPL play-offs a further 3 times in addition to lifting the Sheffield & Hallamshire FA Cup in 2008 and 2010.

Emley AFC History

The history of football in Emley can be traced back to 1903. Over many decades, Emley AFC became the most successful non-league team in Yorkshire. Consistent success in the Yorkshire League led to the club becoming a founder member of the NCEL.

At a national level, an FA Vase semi-final appearance was followed a year later with a trip to Wembley for the final in 1988.

Ground improvements meant the step up to the Northern Premier League was eventually achieved after two successive NCEL Premier Division championship wins.

In 1997-98, the village club went on a historic FA Cup run to the third round proper, culminating in a trip to Premier League West Ham United in 1998.

That success was followed by an ultimately failed move to Wakefield.

When the club dropped ‘Emley’ from their name and disbanded the reserve team –which had continued to play at The Welfare Ground since the move- the club was reborn as AFC Emley in 2005 and after a single season in the West Yorkshire League, were elevated to the NCEL.

After a run to the 4th round of the FA Vase in 2012-13, there followed two successive ‘ohso-nearly’ promotion pushes: firstly, losing out on sudden death penalties in a play-off final in 2016 and then missing out on goal difference, after a record points total of 95, the following season.

Disappointment carried through to an unsuccessful play-off bid.

Following two seasons of mid-

table finishes, the summer of 2019 saw major developments. The club reclaimed its old name of Emley AFC and a new management team was installed – Richard Tracey joined as Manager with Steve Nicholson, who played in the famous West Ham team, as his assistant.

Unexpectedly moved to the North-West Counties League, the team was very well placed for promotion, lying comfortably in the top 4, until the Covid-19 pandemic caused the termination and voiding of the season by the FA.

Back in the NCEL for the 2020/21 season, the season was curtailed again, after just 10 games, with Emley top of the league. The FA’s reorganisation of steps 4, 5 and 6 benefitted Emley and our PPG average was enough for promotion to the NCEL

After an initial settling in season Emley pushed for promotion in 2022-23, just falling short in third place. However, this disappointment was softened with the club's first senior trophy in 25 years - recapturing the Sheffield and Hallamshire Senior Cup for a ninth time.

In 2023-24 Emley achieved their goal of reaching the Northern Premier League. This magnificent season included an FA Cup run to the third qualifying round, going out narrowly to Alfreton Town, and an exciting FA Vase run to the quarter final, eventually losing at Worcester City. The NCEL was secured with 3 games to go, and Emley became champions by 9 clear points to secure promotion.

Premier Division.

MATCH REPORT

CONSETT VS SHEFFIELD FC

Vill Powell's tenure as Sheffield FC Manager began with great promise on Saturday, as they came from two goals down after a stuttering start, to draw 2-2 at Consett's Belle View ground.

2

Club got off to the worst possible start on three minutes, as Edd Hall tipped a 20yard drive from Isaac Walker, only to see the rebound tapped home from close range by Brandon Holdsworth.

It was 2-0 on 19 minutes, as Walker once again tried his luck from the edge of the area, this time the ball taking a deflection

to deceive Hall and spin into the net.

Consett should have had a third, as Holdsworth found himself free, only to see his effort cleared off the line by skipper Reece Fielding. The second half was a much better showing from the visitors, as they started to gain control of the game, with Tom Hinton the first to go close as his effort went over the bar.

On 62 minutes some fantastic football saw Club pull one back, Joe West's 60yard diagonal ball picked out Connor

Cutts out on the right, his cross in turn found Josh Ayres who made no mistake from 10 yards out.

The game was levelled on 77 minutes, Reece Fielding the man on the spot, heading home at the near post following a throw-in from the right flank.

In the end it was Consett who were hanging on for the point, and despite not getting all three points, Sheffield hoisted themselves off the foot of the table.

MATCH REPORT:

MANSFIELD WOMEN 0 ANSTEY NOMADS 1

Graham Abercrombie marked his return as Sheffield FC Women's Manager with a win that saw them regain top spot in the East Midlands Premier Division, as they ran out 1-0 winners over incumbent leaders Mansfield Town, in an entertaining battle at R&H Academy.

A much-changed Club side saw their plans put into disarray in the first couple of minutes, as defender Natasha Wood had to leave the pitch after an early challenge, that saw the Sheffield player retire with an eye injury.

It was a tight gritty battle between two very good sides, with both doing their utmost to try and find their openings, however chances were few and far between.

The visitors had the first real chance, as Nicole Cooper's cross picked out Tilly Hallas-Potts, with keeper Amy Price doing well to block the effort.

For Mansfield Olivia Standeven had the best chance, however her effort was only half hit, giving Eleanor Sharpe an easy job of gathering the ball.

In the second half the game opened up considerably, with Millie Edwards shooting wide of the target five minutes after the restart, after a swift break from a Sheffield corner.

Moments later Club took the lead, a long ball at the back caused confusion between the home keeper and her defenders, allowing Halima Essa to nip in between and poke the ball just enough to trickle over the line.

Mansfield really should have equalised midway through the half, Ava Williamson picking out Gabi Foulkes in acres of space in the Sheffield area, only to see her effort bravely blocked by Sharpe.

Club managed to keep control of the game and thought they had made it safe with ten to go, as substitute Lucy Cook's cross was nodded home by Sami Brooks, only for the Assistant Referee to wave it offside.

MATCH REPORT: SHEFFIELD FC U21 0 ATHERSLEY RECREATION 1

Sheffield FC’s Development side slumped to their third consecutive home defeat on Wednesday evening, as they lost against Athersley Recreation for the second time this season, with the Barnsley outfit running out 1-0 winners in a dour contest.

After starting the game brightly, Sheffield conceded in the 10th minute, a goal that would decide the contest.

A corner from the left wing by Jacob Harban was mishandled by Club keeper Niall Edge, with the ball flying into the face of Muhammad Shabani, and then flying into the top corner of the net.

And that was it as far as chances went for the rest of the game, Club threatened on the flanks but were unable to get a shot on target, whilst the Rec were limited to long distance efforts that caused even less worry.

There were some moments of hope for the hosts towards the end, with substitute Aaron Docherty finding himself in the area with the ball at his feet, however each time he found himself crowded out by a very busy Athersley defence.

Club now face a run of four away games on the bounce, giving themselves a very tricky run up to the end of 2024, with the only home game a friendly at home to IDA Sheffield on December 4th.
