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.

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

It’s a true privilege to stand at the helm of The World’s First football club, a title that carries an incredible amount of history and pride. This club represents something bigger than just football—it’s a symbol of the sport’s origins and everything that makes the game special. To have the opportunity to manage this squad and lead these players is something I never take for granted. We’ve got an ambitious group here, and I genuinely believe that with the talent and determination in this squad, we can achieve great things this season.

Looking back on my time with Cressy, I can’t help but reflect on the positive influence he had on this team. His work ethic and passion were second to none, and it was a pleasure to share that journey with him. I know he’ll bring that same energy to Matlock Town, and we all wish him the very best there. It’s never easy losing someone of his quality, but football is always about looking forward, and we’ve got a squad here that’s more than capable of building on the strong foundations he helped lay.

Now, we have to refocus on the task at hand. Being out of the FA Cup and the FA Trophy is a disappointment for sure, but it’s allowed us to turn our attention solely to the league. We know the results haven’t been what we’ve hoped for so far, but I’ve seen enough in this group to know we’re not far off. Getting that first win under our belts is crucial, and we need to give it everything we’ve got to make it happen today. This squad has the quality, but it’s about channeling that energy into a complete performance.

Our opponents today, Garforth Town, may be new to the division, but they’ve quickly proven they’re not here to make up the numbers. They’re a strong side with plenty of fight, and we can’t afford to take them lightly. Every game at this level is a battle, and we’ll need to be at our very best to get a result. But we’re prepared, and the lads are ready to show what we’re capable of.

Lastly, I want to take a moment to recognize the fans. Your support means everything to us. Week in, week out, you stand by us, and it’s that passion that drives the players forward. We want to make you proud today, and there’s nothing we’d love more than to get that first league win here at the MEPS International Home of Football. Let’s do this together—up the lads!

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.

Garforth Town History

Garforth Town was founded in 1964 as the Miners Arms, a local pub team, and initially played in Sunday leagues.

Without a home ground, they competed on a council pitch in nearby Swillington. After several years of success, they transitioned to Saturday football and joined the West Yorkshire League, securing their own ground at Brierlands Lane, which they developed from a former rubbish tip.

In 1977, the team rebranded as Garforth Miners to join the Yorkshire League, later becoming founder members of the Northern Counties East League (NCEL) in 1981. By 1985, they had adopted their current name, Garforth

Town. Their best cup run came in 1986/87 when they reached the FA Vase quarter-finals. The club continued to improve its facilities with the addition of a clubhouse in 1991 and floodlights in 1995.

Under manager Dave Parker, the club experienced its most successful period in the NCEL during the late 1990s. Garforth secured the Division One Championship in 1997/98 and won multiple cup titles, including the West Riding County Cup. In 1998/99, they moved into their new Wheatley Park stadium and achieved success in league and cup competitions.

In 2003, Simon Clifford took over as owner and

later manager, guiding Garforth to promotion back to the NCEL Premier Division. His tenure brought national attention when former Brazilian international Socrates made a brief appearance for the club. Clifford led Garforth to further promotions, reaching the Northern Premier League for the first time in the club’s history by 2007.

The club enjoyed further success in cup competitions, winning the West Riding County Cup in 2009 and 2010. However, in 2012/13, Garforth was relegated back to the NCEL Premier Division after a turbulent season. A consortium took over in 2013, bringing muchneeded stability and sponsorship to the club.

Paul Marshall's appointment as manager in 2019 marked a new era of success. After reaching the NCEL League Cup final in 2021/22, Garforth won the inaugural NCEL Premier Division play-offs in 2023/24, earning promotion to the Northern Premier League Division One East, returning to Step 4 after 11 years.

MATCH REPORT

Jamie Yates’ tenure as Sheffield FC manager got off to a losing start on Tuesday evening, but the result didn’t tell the whole story, as Loughborough Students ran out 3-2 winners in the controversial FA Trophy replay.

Having run out 1-0 victors ten days earlier, the Scholars had been charged with fielding an ineligible player, however the FA chose to replay the game rather than expel the offending side.

Loughborough came roaring out of the blocks in this one, and took the lead inside the first minute, Alex Spiteri hitting one from the edge of the area that eluded Myles Wright and snuck in past the post.

SHEFFIELD FC VS LOUGHBOROUGH STUDENTS

STUDENTS

Sheffield replied with some venom, and were denied a leveller by some near misses from Nathan Modest and Luke Aldrich, and two excellent saves by keeper Steven Bessent.

On 32 minutes and totally against the run of play, the students doubled their lead, as Halim Bangura’s corner was met by the head of Richie Allen to make it 2-0.

Four minutes later Club pulled one back, Connor Cutts getting his head on the ball, following a Jack Watson cross.

The second half was one way traffic, yet it was more heroics from Bessent, and more near misses from Watson and Aldrich keeping the

visitors’ noses in front.

On the stroke of 90 minutes Loughborough grabbed a spectacular third goal, again totally against the run of play, with substitute Felipe Morales Moya letting rip with a speculative effort from 35 yards that somehow found the top corner.

Club finally got the breakthrough with the last kick of the game, a goalmouth scramble eventually landing at the feet of skipper Reece Fielding, with his goal coming just too late to save the day.

MATCH REPORT: NOTTINGHAM TRENT UNI 0 SHEFFIELD FC WOMEN 8

Sheffield FC Women coasted to a comfortable win at a rainy Clifton Road on Sunday, going to the top of the East Midlands Premier League with an eightgoal thrashing of Nottingham Trent University, retaining their unbeaten start to life in level five football.

Club were on top from the off in torrential conditions, and it took just 12 minutes for them to get on the scoresheet, with Nicole Cooper and Amy Nelson teeing up Sadie Smith who blasted home from 12 yards out.

That became 2-0 on 24 minutes, a careless handball in the area by Evie Nicholson gave the referee Andy Mead an easy decision, with Sadie Smith giving keeper Mollie Ogilvie no chance from the spotkick.

Sheffield were a little wasteful before the break and should have had more on the board, Sadie Smith’s shot well blocked by Ogilvie, whilst Amy Nelson’s cross was headed over the bar by the same player. There was no stopping Smith getting her hat-trick though, two minutes into the second half a cross from Tash Wood was met by the striker, who headed into the top corner to make it 3-0.

NTU had moments of optimism and went close, when Evie Nicholson’s corner was met by Louise Dealtry-Todd in the middle, with the header going just over.

The away side stepped a gear or two in the last 20 minutes, adding further goals, with Pip Cassidy threading a ball through to substitute Stacey Buxton who stayed calm to beat the keeper and make it 4-0.

On 80 minutes Buxton made it 5-0 with a smart flicked header, and a minute later it was 6-0, Sami Brooks joining those who came on and scored from the bench. The 83rd minute saw Buxton complete her quick-fire hat-trick to make it 7-0, with the rout completed two minutes from time, Caitlyn Douglas with the assist to set up yet another substitute – Lucy Cook – with the honour of making it 8-0.

MATCH REPORT: ATHERSLEY RECREATION 6 SHEFFIELD FC U18 1

Sheffield FC’s Development side were put to the sword on Thursday evening, as they came up against an experienced Athersley Recreation side, who ran out comfortable 6-1 winners.

Club were behind after just two minutes, as a swift break down the left wing from Bailey Wright created a telling cross into the six-yard box, with Matthew Handley finishing from close range.

Sheffield battled back into the game and were level on 15 minutes, some tenacious play from Toby Shepherd-Blunsten harried the Recs’ defence into conceding the ball, with the Club youngster taking the ball on and slotting it past Brandon Stephens. The hosts retook the lead on 23 minutes, a goalmouth scramble saw the visitors unable to clear the ball, with ex-Clubbie Alfie Bakes slamming the ball home to make it 2-1.

It was 3-1 just two minutes later, with winger Bailey Wright picking the ball up on the edge of the area, before curling his shot into the far corner beyond Finley Rhys-Jones.

On 37 minutes Athersley were gifted a fourth goal, some indecision in the Sheffield defence saw Rhys-Jones stranded in no-man’s-land, giving Mohammed Shabani the easy task of bending the ball home.

Club gave a better showing at the start of the second half, with OJ Pyke and Kai Thomas-Prescott adding to the attacking side of things, and Carter Tingle able to come into his own with some good attacking runs.

It was another defensive error that made it 5-1, with Ellis Jones capitalising on some sloppy play on 70 minutes, making no mistake with his finish.

Athersley wrapped up the scoring in stoppage time, substitute Max Jeffries hitting a great strike from just outside the area, making the full-time score 6-1.

Athersley Recreation: 1 Brandon Stephens, 2 Jacob Harban, 3 Bradley Green, 4 Theo Peat, 5 Luke Moorhouse, 6 Billy McDonald, 7 Matthew Handley, 8 Alfie Bakes, 9 Mohammed Shabani, 10 Ellis Jones, 11 Bailey Wright.
