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
Good afternoon and welcome to tonight’s match against Bishop Auckland. They’re a well-organized team with a lot of experience, and we know we’ll need to be at our best to take anything from this game. It’s going to be a real challenge, but we’re ready for it.
Looking at our recent results, we can see some positives and some areas where we need to improve. The Carlton game was particularly disappointing, especially after we took the lead and looked in control at 1-0. To come away with nothing from that match was a tough pill to swallow. On the flip side, our 00 draw against Ossett United was a solid point, but we know we could have done more to grab the win. We’ve shown glimpses of what we’re capable of, but we need to be more clinical in key moments to turn those draws into wins.
Despite the ups and downs, I have to give credit to the squad. They’re working hard, and every player is putting in a real shift. There’s no lack of effort, and the lads are determined to get the results we need to keep us in the league. We know the pressure is on, but they’ve shown real character, and I’m confident they’ll continue to fight until the very end.
Finally, I want to take a moment to thank our incredible fans. Your support means the world to us, especially in times like these. You’ve been with us every step of the way, and we can’t do this without you. Let’s stick together and keep pushing as we look to take all three points today. Enjoy the game.
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.

Bishop Auckland History
It all started in 1882 when theological students from Oxford and Cambridge University, studying at Auckland Castle, formed a team known as Bishop Auckland Church Institute. A dispute later led to the formation of a breakaway team called Auckland Town in 1886/87, and from this upheaval, Bishop Auckland Football Club was eventually born. Just eight days after its formation, the club adopted royal blue with white facings, later incorporating the light and dark blue of the original Church Institute, representing Oxbridge colours.
Auckland Town were founding members of the Northern League in 1889 but left after one season, only to return as Bishop Auckland in 1893. Between 1893 and 1988, the club won the Northern League title a record 19 times, first claiming the championship in 1898/99 with an unbeaten campaign. Their most dominant era came between 1947 and 1956, when they never finished below second place, securing seven league titles and finishing runners-up three times.
The club played a key role in football history following the Munich air disaster of 1958, when three Bishop Auckland players—Derek Lewin, Warren Bradley, and Bobby Hardisty— were recruited to help Manchester United. Bradley, an England amateur international, not only became a first-team regular at United but also earned full international honors. In the FA Amateur Cup, the Bishops were dominant, reaching the
final 18 times and winning a record 10 titles, including three consecutive victories in 1955, 1956, and 1957. Their success was so remarkable that when the competition ended in 1974, the club was awarded a replica of the trophy in recognition of its achievements.
The Bishops also enjoyed memorable moments in the FA Cup, battling league clubs such as Preston North End, Burnley, and Wolves. Their best run came in 1954/55, when they defeated Kettering Town, Crystal Palace, and Ipswich Town, before falling to York City in the fourth round.
In 1988, nearly a century after first joining the Northern League, the club entered the non-league pyramid system via the Northern Premier League (NPL), where they
spent 18 seasons before returning to the Northern League in 2006.
Off the pitch, the club transformed into a limited company in 1997 and focused on relocating from Kingsway to a new home at Tindale Crescent. Although first proposed in 1993, it wasn’t until 2004 that they secured a £250,000 Football Foundation grant and planning permission for their new ground. Built as part of a major regeneration project, Heritage Park was officially opened in October 2010, with the first match played the following month against Middlesbrough.
MATCH REPORT
OSSETT UNITED VS SHEFFIELD FC
0
Sheffield FC earned their first away point of 2025 on Saturday, battling to a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Ossett United at the notoriously boggy Ingfield Stadium. The match was a challenging one for both teams, with heavy winds and a waterlogged pitch making play difficult throughout. It was a game where defences truly came to the fore, and with the conditions against both sides, it was always going to be a contest dominated more by grit than glamour.
Chances were few and far between in the first half, as both teams struggled to create clearcut opportunities. The opening 20 minutes saw neither side really threatening the opposition goal, as they adjusted to the difficult conditions. Nathan Modest had the first real chance for Sheffield in the 25th minute, forcing
a save from Ossett goalkeeper Aleks Petrovic after a strike from distance, but there was little else to speak of in the way of attacking play.
The second half was much of the same—both teams working hard, but unable to break down the opposing defences. Sheffield's Connor Cutts had a long-range shot that flew just wide, while Ossett’s best chance came from Ben Tweed, whose solo run ended with the ball scrambling harmlessly into Mikey Roxburgh’s hands. Neither team could find the breakthrough they needed as the match wore on, and it seemed increasingly likely that a goalless draw was in the cards.
As the game drew to a close, Sheffield had a golden opportunity to snatch all three points. A corner delivery found Simon Jakab, who rose
highest to meet the ball with a header, but the effort was just wide from close range. That proved to be the last real chance of the match, with neither side able to land the decisive blow. The final whistle blew, leaving the game level at 0-0—a fair result given the conditions and the way the match had unfolded.
While it may not have been the most thrilling spectacle, Sheffield can take a lot of positives from securing their first away point of the year. The defence stood firm, and despite the tough conditions, the team showed resilience to come away with a point. It was certainly a tough game, but one where a clean sheet and a share of the spoils will be an important building block for the matches ahead.
MATCH REPORT:
SHEFFIELD FC WOMEN 1 BRUNSMEER 1 (BRUNSMEER WIN ON PENS)
Sheffield FC Women’s County Cup run came to an end after a narrow penalty shootout loss to Brunsmeer Athletic, following a 1-1 draw at the Home of Football Stadium. Despite falling behind 1-0 when Lisa Giampalma scored for Brunsmeer in the 34th minute, Sheffield responded quickly with an equalizer just before half-time. Jacey Haynes latched onto a through ball from Halima Essa and fired home to make it 1-1.
In the second half, Sheffield pushed hard for a winner, with several close chances. Lucy Cook was denied at a tight angle, and Nicole Kemp’s free-kick rattled the crossbar in the 53rd minute. Substitutes like Mariah McIntosh also tested Brunsmeer keeper Cheryl Marwood, but Sheffield couldn’t find a breakthrough. As the match entered stoppage time, both Cook and Louisa Anderson were inches away from converting a corner delivery from Kemp.
The match ended level after 90 minutes, leading to a tense penalty shootout. Sheffield matched Brunsmeer’s first three spot kicks through Kemp, Brooke Smith, and Tilly Hallas-Potts. However, in a dramatic turn, Stacey Buxton’s penalty went over, and goalkeeper Emily Kellogg’s save wasn’t enough as Brunsmeer’s Bradie Wild saw her spot kick trickle in after Kellogg got a hand to it.
While it was a tough defeat for Sheffield, they showed great spirit throughout the match and in the shootout. The team’s performance was full of attacking intent and resilience, but unfortunately, the result didn’t go their way. Despite the heartbreak, they will look to bounce back in their next league fixture against Basford.
Overall, Sheffield’s County Cup journey came to an end, but they can take pride in their performance. The team remains focused on their league goals and will be looking to build momentum in upcoming matches.
MATCH REPORT: WORSBROUGH BRIDGE 3 SHEFFIELD FC U21 3
For the third week on the trot Sheffield FC’s Development side saw themselves end with one point on the road, thanks to yet another last-minute equaliser, this time however it was the young Clubbies that were the beneficiaries as they drew 3-3 in an entertaining game at Handsworth. Club started lively, and on 11 minutes they took the lead, as Danny Fisher was put through on goal to tuck a shot wide of keeper Freddie Harrison.
The Ambers equalised three minutes before the break, with Callum Petch beating his defender on the right flank, before cutting in and curling the ball in the far corner.
It was 2-1 to the hosts on the hour mark, as big Harley Battison muscled himself clear at a corner, powering home a fantastic header.
That lead lasted three minutes, with Freddie Jones finishing past some uncertain goalkeeping, following a scramble from a Sonny Bennett Corner.
Handsworth were awarded a penalty on 68 minutes, following a foul by Harrison Barker on Jay-Jay Taylor, only to see Taylor’s effort excellently saved by Pat Warrington.
With five minutes remaining it looked like the home side had snatched it, as substitute Cole Fisher nipped in to make it 3-2, however with the last kick of the game it was OJ Pyke to the rescue to score the goal that gave Club an unlikely but deserved point.
