ANDYSMANCLUB is a free peer-to-peer group that provides a place for men to come together in a safe and open environment to talk about the issues or problems that they have faced or are currently facing.
ANDYSMANCLUBs meet every Monday at 7pm (excluding Bank Holiday Mondays).
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 club is open to any man 18 or over, who is going through a storm, been through a storm or just wants to meet a good group of people with the aim of improving one another.
ANDYSMANCLUB has over 100 locations across the UK. Check our website below for a full list.
Just turn up on the night. No registration or referral is required, all we ask is that you arrive before 7pm. The full list of our locations available on our website.

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!
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%.
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.
This upcoming game against Ossett United is crucial for us, as they’re in a similar position in the league, and every point counts right now. Both teams are pushing to climb out of the lower half, so we’re expecting a hardfought battle. Matches like these, against sides who know our strengths and weaknesses, are always intense, but that’s exactly the kind of challenge our team needs at this stage. A win here could be the turning point we’re looking for, setting us up for a strong run in the coming weeks.
I’m pleased to have Joshua Ayes, Tom Hinton, Joe West, and Ben Whelan join the squad, and they’ve already brought a new level of energy and skill to our training sessions. Each of them offers something unique: Josh’s agility on the wings, Tom’s reliability in midfield, Joe’s solid defending, and Ben’s composure at the back will be valuable assets. They’re settling in quickly, and I think they’re ready to make a real impact. They understand the pressure we’re under but are motivated to help lift the squad, so I’m excited to see how they perform today.
Finally, I can’t stress enough how much we appreciate the support from the fans, especially in times like these. The backing we’ve had has been incredible, and it really does make a difference. I know it hasn’t been easy, but having that encouragement from the stands pushes us to keep fighting. Hopefully, today we can reward the fans with a performance that not only brings in points but also shows the passion and resilience we’re working to build within this team.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

EDDIE CHURCH
JOINS OSSETT UNITED ON A DUAL-REGISTRATION DEAL FROM FC UNITED OF MANCHESTER. THE FORMER OSSETT TOWN MAN BRINGS A WEALTH OF NON-LEAGUE EXPERIENCE AND WILL BE LOOKING TO HIT THE GROUND RUNNING THIS SEASON.
Ossett United was formed on 1 June 2018 from the merger of two historic clubs, Ossett Town AFC (established 1936) and Ossett Albion AFC (established 1944). Both clubs had earned and maintained status in the Northern Premier League for many years. The newly unified club established Ingfield, previously home to Ossett Town, as its main ground and designated Dimple Wells, former home of Ossett Albion, for its Ladies and Academy teams.
Although the club’s first season on the pitch was successful, off-field challenges soon surfaced. Several board members resigned, and financial difficulties emerged as the organization adjusted to the merger. By the end of the 2018-2019 season, Phil Smith was named chairman, supported by a new board that included Stuart Garside, Steve Hanks, Paul Billing, Neil
Spofforth, and Joe Hanks, aiming to stabilize the club.
In November 2019, a significant financial setback occurred when Ossett United lost a court case from an injury incident dating back to 2015, resulting in £135,000 in legal costs and damages. To avoid liquidation, two supporters provided a muchneeded loan, allowing the club to retain ownership of Ingfield. Following this, James Rogers took on the chairman role due to Phil Smith’s work commitments, a position he held until mid-2023 when Smith resumed leadership.
In 2020, the club relinquished its lease on Dimple Wells, making Ingfield its sole home ground, which allowed resources to be focused on improvements there. By 2021, new pitch-side barriers and LED floodlights were installed, followed by substantial upgrades to the changing room facilities in 2023. These
expansions, funded by the Football Foundation, added a modernized changing area, a medical room, and offices, becoming fully operational by summer 2024.
The club’s first season on the field (2018-2019) was marked by high attendance and a play-off semi-final appearance, coupled with a County Cup win under manager Andy Welsh. After Welsh’s departure early in the 2019-2020 season, Wayne Benn and his assistant, Chick Hayward, led the team through two COVID-affected seasons. A positive preseason in 2021-2022 set high expectations, but inconsistent performance led to a managerial change with Jas Colliver and Mark Ward sharing the role.
Colliver and Ward managed an unbeaten home record at Ingfield to end the season, though the team finished ninth overall. Despite a strong
squad on paper, results did not meet expectations, leading to Ward’s resignation in September. Colliver briefly took sole charge before also departing, and Grant Black was appointed as manager in October 2022. Black’s tenure began promisingly, with only two defeats in his first 16 games, though results faltered later.
After ending the season in 15th place, narrowly avoiding relegation, Black left the club on Christmas Eve. David Brown, assisted by Pugh, Claisse, and Miller, managed to retain Ossett’s Division One status with a vital win against league leaders Hebburn Town. In May 2024, Dave Wild was appointed as the new manager, bringing renewed optimism for the upcoming season.
Heaton Stannington and Sheffield FC battled out an entertaining goal-less draw at Grounsell Park, in an end-to-end contest that saw neither side able to grind out the vital goal to take all three points.
Club had the upper hand in much of the first half, and almost broke the deadlock on 10 minutes, as Tom Hinton's drive from distance was tipped over the bar by keeper Neil De Jesus.
The rest of the half was a cagey affair, with debutant Josh Ayres going close for
the visitors, whilst Edd Hall was largely untroubled at the other end.
It was a stark contrast to the second half, as both teams started to show their attacking flair, with Hinton again going close ten minutes into the half with a free-kick that rattled the bar.
As Stan got back into the game, Sheffield had to be thankful to skipper Reece
Fielding for two vital blocks, the first from striker Joe Thompson at close range, followed by a headed block from a Konner Lamb volley.
With 15 minutes to go Club should have broken the deadlock, as keeper De Jesus made an amazing save from Jack Watson, only to see the rebound from Josh Ayres smash off the crossbar.
Joe West was the next to be denied by the hosts' man of the match, with De Jesus blocking a low drive from distance, summing up what was a promising, but fruitless, display from Sheffield.
Sheffield FC Women moved joint top of the East Midlands Premier Division on Sunday, following a scrappy win over Anstey Nomads, with the home side running out 1-0 winners.
Club always looked in control of this, but created very little in the first half, the closest chance being an Amy Nelson effort that was skewed wide.
The visitors almost took a shock lead ten minutes into the second half, Ruby Saunders putting Rhea Patel through on goal, only for Ellie Sharpe to come out on top of the one-on-one situation.
Club started to get on top, going close from a header from Tilly Hallas-Potts, whilst Sadie Smith was denied by the keeper Holly Mayfield.
Sheffield finally took the lead on 70 minutes, some neat football found HallasPotts in the area, who teed up Sadie Smith to drill the ball into the bottom corner.
Sheffield should have capitalised on their ascendency but squandered several chances to extend their lead, with Mayfield getting down well to deny Smith a second, whilst substitutes Jacey Haynes and Stacey Buxton both missed opportunities to make the result more comfortable.
Next up for Sheffield Women is a big game in the Women’s FA Cup, when they face Penrith AFC at the Home of Football, kick off 2:00pm on Sunday 3rd November.

Sheffield FC’s Development side bowed out of the North Midlands League Cup at the first hurdle on Monday night, as they came up short in the torrential rain at Silverlands, losing 4-2 to Buxton in a very entertaining game.
Club started on the front foot, but it was the Bucks who made the first serious effort on goal, with Ryan Brad’s deflected shot producing a good save from keeper Finlay Rhys-Jones.
Blake Freeman had a chance to break the deadlock, OJ Pyke sending the winger through on goal, only to see him denied with the foot of Trayton Brightmore. Moments later a Carter Tingle run from his own half had the hosts on their heels, with the Sheffield man’s 70-yard solo sprint finding Kai Thomas-Prescott in space, only for his shot to sail wide.
The visitors’ keeper Rhys Jones continued his impressive start shortly after, as some lax defence saw Sam Tomlinson in space, with the Sheffield stopper producing another good save.
Buxton broke the deadlock on 24 minutes, Tomlinson turning provider to tee up Dylan Mantle inside the area, and with time and space he was able to pick his spot to make it 1-0.
The lead wasn’t to last long and Club were level in a matter of minutes, Pyke producing a fine run down the right, crossing for Blake Freeman to slam home his first of the season.
Sheffield started to dominate and should have taken the lead, with Freeman squandering a chance following a Brad Platts assist, and Pyke going wide after a great long ball from Freddie Jones. It was 2-1 just on the half time whistle, with a spectacular solo weaving run from Sam Tomlinson leaving all in his wake, finishing with a calm precise finish.
Club levelled in the 47th minute, with Luke McKernan feeding a great run by Jake MadeyBarnes, giving the full back a one-on-one chance he wasn’t going to waste.
Buxton should have retaken the lead just before the hour, as Ryan Bradd struck the bar, but they made it 3-2 on 65 minutes following some panicky defence from the visitors that left Tomlinson with the chance to drill his shot past Rhys-Jones.
Sheffield pressed for an equaliser but were hit with a sucker punch in injury time, a long kick from keeper Brightmore picked out Tomlinson, with the striker giving Calum Ramsey a tap in, giving the final scoreline a rather flattering look for Buxton.
