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 was a fantastic feeling to get our first win as a team against Pontefract, and it was a performance to be proud of. That victory marked an important step forward and hopefully the start of a positive climb up the table. The players showed grit and determination, and it’s moments like that which build confidence and momentum in the squad.
Last Friday’s game away at Garforth, however, was far from ideal. We were disappointed not to build on that win and continue our progress. It was a major hiccup in what we’re trying to achieve, but setbacks are part of football. What matters now is how we respond, and today gives us the perfect opportunity to get back on track in front of our home fans.
Our opponents, Heaton Stannington, come into this match sitting comfortably in midtable, and while that might suggest a degree of safety, they’re a side with plenty of quality. They’ve shown they can win games and will come here looking to take something from the match. It’s crucial that we’re at our best—focused, disciplined, and ready to match their intensity from the first whistle.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank you, the fans, for your incredible support during this period of transition. Your backing, home and away, means everything to the players and staff, and it’s a driving force for us to push harder for the results you deserve. Let’s make today another step forward together.
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.

Heaton Stannington History
Although officially founded in 1910, Heaton Stannington were in existence by 1903 & playing at Miller’s Lane on the site of the current Fossway. The club name originates from its links with the Stannington Avenue area of Heaton. In 1903-04 they finished 5th in division 2 of the Newcastle & District Amateur League. In December 1904, they resigned from the league with the reserves also appearing to have resigned from the Northern Amateur League (NAL) & there is no further record of the team until 1910. This suggests that they folded & then reformed nearly 6 years later.
From at least 1913, home games were taking place at Paddy Freeman’s Park. The club were elected to membership of the Northumberland FA (NFA) on
10 September 1914, just over a month after the start of the First World War. The club spent the next 19 years in NAL Division 1. By the 1930s the team were playing at the Coast Road ground. In October 1935, they started playing at Newton Park in High Heaton on the site of a recently filled-in quarry. In 2007, the ground was renamed Grounsell Park in honour of the service given, both on & off the pitch, by Bob Grounsell. One memorable match was played there in July 2012 when the Stan were beaten 4-0 in a Olympic warm-up match by the Gabon national side which included Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The club were elected to the Northern League in 1939. The club resigned at the end of the 1951-52 season & joined
the Northern Alliance until 1956. The next 16 seasons included involvement in the NAL (1956-59), North Eastern League (1959-60) & the Northern Combination (196072). In 1972 the club stepped up to the Wearside League & remained there for 10 years. They were forced to resign from the league in 1982 for financial reasons due to the club trustees, who had formed a limited company in 1968, putting the annual rent up from £400 to £1500. The company then tried to build a supermarket on the ground but the planning application was defeated. In 1983 the High Court ruled that the ground belonged to the football club & the company had to relinquish ownership.
By 1987 the club were in the Northern Alliance, which became a 3-tier league
in 1988 and saw the Stan placed in the Premier Division. The club won their highest level league trophy when they became Champions in 2012.
In June 21, Dean Nicholson became manager replacing Derek Thompson who was in the job from 2002. Dean gained promotion to Step 5 in his 1st season &in 22-23 the Stan finished 8 th in division 1 & in March 23 a crowd of 1339 saw the club narrowly lose to Blyth Spartans in the semi-final of the Senior Cup.
In the 23-24 season history was made when the club were promoted in 23-24 to Northern Premier East League, the 4 th tier of non-league, after beating West Auckland 3-0 in the play-off final in front of a new record crowd of 2107.
MATCH REPORT
GARFORTH TOWN VS SHEFFIELD FC
It was a night to forget for Sheffield FC on Friday evening, as they slumped to their heaviest league defeat of the season, with Garforth Town running out 4-0 winners at a wet and windy Cedar Ridge.
The visitors were hit with an early blow on 6 minutes, as an attack broke down allowing Jamie Barkway to gallop 60 yards unopposed, before slipping in Max Bauer who beat a poor offside trap to place the ball past Edd Hall.
Garforth made it 2-0 on 20 minutes, Edd Hall did well to save an effort from Charlie Marshall, however no one was there to close down Matt Ancliff who drove the ball through the forest of legs past the unsighted keeper.
There was another moment of concern for Club, as on 29 minutes defender Sam Greenhouse collapsed to the floor with no one
near him, suffering an ankle injury that could see him missing until the New Year.
The third goal came from a corner on 39 minutes, the ball in from Dan Coupland finished in the net, with Jordan Emery claiming the vital touch.
Just before half time came a moment that summed up Sheffield’s fortunes, a drive from Cameron Bedford was blocked by Harry Flatters, with the keeper recovering enough to tip Josh Ayres’ effort onto the bar.
With the wind at their backs for the second half, there were remote hopes that Club would be able to replicate the reverse fixture earlier in the season with the away side overturning a three-goal deficit, however those hopes would come to nothing.
Instead, it was the hosts that adapted to the conditions better, with the visitors having to be thankful to Edd Hall to keep the score down, denying Matt Antcliff with two fine saves.
The game was wrapped up ten minutes from time, a cheeky slotted pass through the defensive line from Sam Barker picked out Sam Cable, with the substitute whipping the ball in at the near post.
Cable nearly made it five in the dying moments, a neat ball through a static defence by Matt Savage found his man in the area, the shot however curved away and hit the post.
MATCH REPORT:
GRIMSBY TOWN 1 SHEFFIELD FC 2
Storm Darragh did its best to spoil proceedings at Clee Fields on Sunday, but in the end Sheffield FC did well to progress to the Quarter Finals of the League Cup, beating a dogged Grimsby Town 2-1 in atrocious conditions.
Premier Division Club started this one massive favourite over their Division One opponents, and despite playing into the teeth of the gale, they looked the better of the two sides and created the majority of the chances.
Mariners’ keeper Georgia Sylvester was the busier of the two stoppers and had to be at her best to deny Sami Brooks’ shot, whilst producing a massive save from Nicole Cooper’s thunderbolt moments later, with the goalpost coming to their rescue from a Stacey Buxton effort.
The goal eventually came Sheffield’s way on 29 minutes, Halima Essa teeing up Lucy Cook who’s shot was blocked by Sylvester, with Buxton being the poacher in the right place at the right time to tap home.
Instead of pushing on for a convincing victory, Club were pegged back three minutes after the break after a ball over the top was picked up by Beth Wharton, who took it on to tuck past Ellie Sharpe to make it 1-1.
The visitors tried to respond with Sylvester denying Louisa Anderson’s effort with a tip over the top, whilst Lucy Cook went even closer, denied by the crossbar.
In the 83rd minute Sheffield finally grabbed the winner albeit with a little fortune, Sadie Smith picked the ball up on the right wing, swinging in a ball that beat everyone and nestled into the top corner to break the hosts’ hearts.
MATCH REPORT:
THORNCLIFFE VILLA 4 SHEFFIELD FC U21 3
Sheffield FC’s Development side were cursing their luck once again on Thursday night, as they continued their losing streak at table topping Thorncliffe Villa, with the home side running out fortunate 4-3 winners.
Villa made the perfect start and took the lead within the opening 90 seconds, Ben Vigrass finding himself free on the edge of the area, his shot was well blocked by Finlay Rhys-Jones however Cohen Izzard was there to slam home the rebound.
Club responded on 10 minutes, after some good work on the left, OJ Pyke took the ball on to drive under the keeper from 25 yards out.
Parity didn’t last long and on 13 minutes Thorncliffe had retaken the lead, skipper Daniel Ashton hitting the bar, with Izzard on the spot to nip home the rebound to make it 2-1.
Izzard completed his hat-trick on 34 minutes, after being put through the middle, and drilling his shot under RhysJones.
Sheffield came out in the second half in full force, reducing the deficit three minutes after the restart, with winger Blake Freeman hitting a pearl of a shot that bounced in off the far post.
The visitors continued to press a shellshocked home side, and were rewarded with an equaliser on 74 minutes, with Jake MadeyBarnes rifling home to make it 3-3. Instead of pushing on for a winner, Club were hit with a massive gut blow two minutes later, Cohen Izzard played a hopeful ball into the area which saw the keeper slip, allowing substituteParker Wroe to apologetically tap into the empty net to retake the lead.
Sheffield continued to press but were unable to get the vital goal, with Tyler Burrell hitting the bar at the other end, almost rubbing salt in the wound.
