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 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
As we head into tonight’s game against Grimsby Borough, I want to first address the disappointment from last weekend's FA Trophy exit. Looking back, we created enough chances to score four or five goals, but sometimes football just doesn’t go the way you want it to. The lads worked hard, and I couldn’t fault their effort, but it just wasn’t meant to be on the day. That said, we’ve analyzed what went wrong, and we’re determined to put things right as we return to league action tonight.
Grimsby Borough have always been a tough opponent, and we know the kind of challenge they present. They’re wellorganized and have caused us problems in the past, but we’re up for the fight and ready to make a statement. We’ve shown glimpses of what we can do, and it’s now about turning those performances into results. Getting that first league win of the season is our priority, and I believe, with the quality we’ve got in this squad, it’s only a matter of time before we start picking up the points we deserve.
Lastly, I want to take a moment to thank our fans for their unwavering support. I know it’s been a frustrating start to the season, but your backing has never wavered, and the players and staff feel it every game. Your support gives us that extra push, and we’re all determined to reward you with a performance and result to be proud of tonight.
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.

Grimsby Borough History
Grimsby Borough Football Club was formed on July 17, 2003, following Louth United's withdrawal from senior competitions. With no base and no competition, Nigel Fanthorpe spearheaded the creation of a new club alongside Ken Holmes, Tony Hopper, Paul Storer, Martin Blades, Ken Vincent, and Albany Jordan. Their main goal was to maintain a high standard of football in the area. The club received affiliation from the Lincolnshire FA on September 2, 2003.
From its inception, Grimsby Borough F.C. has steadily risen through the ranks of amateur football. In its first year, the team finished second in the Lincolnshire Premier League and subsequently joined the Central Midlands League Premier Division. Although
finishing second again the following season, they could not secure promotion due to ground requirements. The longawaited promotion came the next season, moving to the CML Supreme Division.
After leaving their original ground at the Grimsby Institute due to regulations, local firm Nicol stepped in with financial backing, allowing the club to ground-share with Brigg Town F.C. The 2005-06 season ended triumphantly as the club won its first trophy, the Centenary Junior Lincolnshire League Cup. Their progress continued when they were invited to join the North East Counties League Division One in 2008-09, finishing 13th in a tough campaign.
The 2009-10 season brought more success with the Ashby Benevolent Cup
victory. The club’s pinnacle achievement came in the 2011-12 season, winning their first major trophy, the Wilkinson Sword Trophy, after a dramatic 31 win against Shirebrook Town despite being down to 10 men.
After 12 seasons, cofounders and long-term managers Nigel Fanthorpe and Stephen Newby stepped down in 2015. The following managerial appointments saw mixed results, with a relegation scare in 2016 being narrowly avoided. The club made progress in the 201617 and 2017-18 seasons, reaching the play-off finals but suffering defeats on both occasions.
Grimsby Borough enjoyed significant success in 201819, winning the Northern Counties East League Division One Championship and earning
promotion to the Premier Division. Although the 2019-20 season started well, the team’s form dipped, and the season was eventually canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2021-22 season was a highlight, with Borough crowned NCEL Premier Division Champions. In 2022-23, the club entered the Northern Premier League, finishing 12th after a challenging but promising debut season.
MATCH REPORT
Loughborough Students did just enough to secure their place in the next round of the FA Trophy, overcoming a tired and sluggishlooking Sheffield FC team at a bleak and rainy Dronfield. The match was played in challenging conditions, with the drizzle adding to the dreary atmosphere and making life difficult for both sides.
1
SHEFFIELD FC VS LOUGHBOROUGH STUDENTS
Loughborough took control of the first half, putting Sheffield on the back foot with sustained pressure. Club goalkeeper Myles Wright was called into action several times, notably making fine saves to deny Joshua Strouts and Quinton Zolani Dlodlo, who both looked dangerous in the early exchanges. Richard Allen also came close for the visitors, rising well to meet a cross but sending his header narrowly wide of the post.
STUDENTS
Loughborough’s dominance paid off in the 38th minute when Michael Gilpin found space just outside the box and unleashed a superbly curled effort into the top corner, leaving Wright stranded with no chance of making a save. The goal capped off a strong first-half display from the Students, who looked confident and in control.
Sheffield FC, however, came out with renewed energy after the break, determined to get back into the game. Stephen Brogan had a golden opportunity to equalize, but his shot rolled agonizingly inches wide of the post. Moments later, Luke Aldrich’s header was well saved by Loughborough keeper Steven Bessent, who was alert to the danger and kept his side in the lead.
As the match wore on, Sheffield ramped up the pressure, bombarding the Loughborough goal in the final stages. Jack Watson had a flurry of chances but couldn't find the target, missing on four separate occasions as frustration mounted for the home side. Despite the late surge from Sheffield, Loughborough held firm, defending resolutely to see out the game and secure their progression in the competition.
In the end, it was Loughborough’s clinical firsthalf performance and resilient defending that made the difference, with Sheffield FC left to rue their missed opportunities.
MATCH REPORT:
SHEFFIELD FC 2 MANSFIELD LADIES 1
Sheffield FC's Women's side continued their 100% start to their East Midlands Premier League campaign, beating a very good Mansfield Town side 2-1 at The Home of Football, despite being reduced to 10 players for the final 20 minutes.
It was a tight opening once again for the Clubettes, as they found it difficult to get the vital breakthrough against a solid defence, with the first real chance coming from an Eden Hinchliffe free-kick that was terrifically tipped over by Mansfield's keeper Amy Price just before the half hour mark.
From the resultant corner though, Sheffield took the lead, with Tash Wood's corner evading everyone in the middle and trickling over the line. Just before the break the hosts had a lucky escape, as Pippa Cassidy headed off the line, after what looked like a certain equaliser from Chloe Foster.
Three minutes after the restart Club doubled the lead, a ball over the top from Hinchliffe found Sadie Smith, who was hauled down inside the area by Price - Smith stepping up to convert the spot kick, despite a decent effort from the goalie. Sheffield seemed to ease off somewhat and on 68 minutes they were punished for a push by Hinchliffe, after she had cleared with a header, leaving former Clubbie Amy Pashley with the job of converting the penalty.
The home side were immediately reduced to ten players, as keeper Leah Kellogg had too much to say to referee Glyn Owen, and was rewarded
with a pair of yellow cards and an early trek to the dressing rooms.
Into the breach stepped vice-captain Brooke Smith, and she did more than was hoped, denying a last gasp equaliser from Pashley - pulling off a wonderful save from a dangerous freekick - and also being on hand to stop a point-blank effort in injury time. The win leaves Sheffield in third place, one of three teams with a 100% record, with a visit to Rotherham United on Wednesday night giving them a chance to continue the great start to the season.
MATCH REPORT: PONTE COLLS U18 2 SHEFFIELD FC U18 0
A makeshift Sheffield FC Under 18s side put in a heroic performance in at the Hunters Stadium on Monday night, but fell just short to exit the FA Youth Cup at the first hurdle, losing 2-0 to a very good Pontefract Collieries side.
Starting as clear favourites, Ponte piled on the pressure early on, but were limited to long range efforts that barely troubled Jake Townsend in the Sheffield goal. Club on the other hand played some good football, looking dangerous on the break, but again not troubling George Messan in the opposite nets.
The first clear chancecame when Will Mendonca was played one-on-one with the visiting keeper, with Townsend doing well to block with his feet, and moments later blocking a combination between Harry McCudden and Reece Kirk.
Sheffield's resistance was finally broken on 65 minutes, Mendonca providing the assist, with substitute Alfie Pounder drilling the ball home from close range. Pontefract looked to extend the lead, with skipper Theo Peat doing excellently to clear off the line, whilst Townsend continued his impressive display by denying Pounder a second goal with another fine stop.
With time running out Club nearly forced a shock equaliser, Harley Kelly being put through on goal, however Messan was able to stick out a foot to turn the ball away. Almost immediately and with only two minutes left on the clock, Colls went up the other end to seal the victory, as Reece Kirk was able to head into an empty net following a Pounder cross.
Despite the defeat it was a positive performance by Ash Dean's squad, with Development Manager Marc Newsham assisting on the bench and First Team manager Ryan Cresswell watching from the stand, both delighted with the level of commitment and effort on the pitch.
Pontefract Collieries: 1 George Messan, 2 Harry Shane (c), 3 James Nicklin, 4 Sean Nijiri, 5 Alfie Hunter, 6 Godlove Dohun, 7 Harry McCudden, 8 Lucas Brown, 9 Reece Kirk, 10 Lamin Drammeh, 11 Will Mendonca.
