ANDYSMANCLUB
WHAT IS ANDYSMANCLUB?
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.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
WHEN IS IT?
ANDYSMANCLUBs meet every Monday at 7pm (excluding Bank Holiday Mondays).
AD
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.
WHO IS IT FOR?
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.
WHERE IS IT?
ANDYSMANCLUB has over 100 locations across the UK. Check our website below for a full list.
HOW DO I JOIN?
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 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 great to be back in front of our home supporters as we look to put in another strong performance and push for a positive result. Our recent form has been mixed, but there have been plenty of positives to take as we navigate this important run of fixtures.
Last week’s win against Sherwood Colliery was a fantastic display of character and determination from the lads. We showed real quality in key moments, and it was great to see us take our chances and defend with resilience. However, the defeat against league leaders Cleethorpes Town was a tough one to take. We competed well for large parts of the game, but in the end, their quality in front of goal made the difference. That game showed us exactly what we need to improve on, and the squad is fully focused on bouncing back tonight.
Injuries have certainly made things more difficult for us in this run of games, with several key players sidelined. It’s never ideal to be without important members of the squad, but this is where we need others to step up. Our new signings will have a big part to play, and some of the lads will be asked to take on different roles to help the team. It’s not an easy situation, but it’s also an opportunity for players to show what they’re capable of, and I have full belief in their ability to deliver.
Tonight’s opponents, Carlton Town, will be a real challenge. They’re a well-organized side with plenty of experience, and they’ll come here looking to make life difficult for us. We know they’ll be tough to break down, and we’ll need to be at our best to create chances and take control of the game. It’s important that we stay patient, work hard, and make the most of the opportunities that come our way.
Finally, I want to say a big thank you to our incredible supporters. Your backing means everything to the players, and on nights like this, your energy from the stands can make all the difference. Let’s stick together, push forward, and hopefully, we can give you a performance to be proud of.
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.

Carlton Town History
Founded in 1904 as Sneinton FC, the club spent much of the 20th century in the Nottinghamshire Football Alliance, winning multiple league titles early on. Sneinton regularly competed in the FA Cup qualifying rounds between 1907 and 1931, though never progressing beyond the first round. Further league success came in the 1980s and 1990s, leading to a move to Stoke Lane, Gedling, and an ambition to progress beyond county football. A third-place finish in 1994-95 secured entry into the Central Midlands Football League.
In 1996, chairman Bill Stokeld appointed Tommy Brookbanks and Neil Cooper as managers, kickstarting a golden era. The club was promoted to the Northern Counties East League (NCEL) First Division in 2003, and after a name change to Carlton Town, they
won the NCEL First Division in 2005-06. The following season, a dramatic late goal secured promotion to the Northern Premier League (NPL) First Division South, where they have remained ever since. The club tragically lost Stokeld in 2004, but his name lives on through the stadium.
Carlton’s early years at Step 4 saw competitive finishes, including a play-off appearance in 2008-09, where they were defeated by a Stocksbridge side featuring a young Jamie Vardy. After Brookbanks’ departure in 2010, Les McJannet rebuilt the squad, leading to a club-best second-place finish in 2011-12 and a Notts Senior Cup victory in 2012-13. More cup success followed in 2013-14, but league struggles soon set in, with multiple relegation battles through the mid2010s.
Wayne Scott, who replaced McJannet, kept Carlton afloat despite tough seasons, winning the 2016 Notts Senior Cup with a 4-1 victory over Basford United. However, struggles continued, and the club only avoided relegation in 2018-19 due to another team's ground grading issues. In response, Carlton reunited with Brookbanks, now alongside Mark Harvey, who immediately led an upturn in form. The team started 201920 strongly before the season was cut short by COVID-19.
The introduction of the NPL Midlands Division in 2021-22 saw Carlton make a strong promotion push, finishing sixth and winning their fourth Notts Senior Cup in front of a club-record crowd of 733. However, a lateral move to the NPL First Division East in 2022-23 brought travel challenges and another
relegation battle. A lateseason surge, fueled by the return of Alex Troke, ensured safety, though they fell short in the Notts Senior Cup final.
The 2023-24 season saw an influx of young talent and a return to form, with Carlton consistently in play-off contention. Despite fixture congestion, they finished fifth, securing a play-off semi-final against Stockton Town in front of a record 1,637 fans. The club also secured a historic FA Trophy win against Nuneaton Borough. Heading into the 2024-25 season, Carlton will aim for another strong campaign in what remains a fiercely competitive division.
MATCH REPORT
CLEETHORPES TOWN VS SHEFFIELD FC
Sheffield FC's run of bad luck continued on Saturday, as they went to table-topping Cleethorpes Town, losing 2-0 despite dominating most of the game.
On a heavily sanded pitch, it was always going to be a game for the diehards, with very little in the way of quality on show.
The home side were the most dominant in the opening stages, with keeper Mikey Roxburgh having to be at his best to deny a Josh Walker shot, and tipping over a miscued clearance from Joe West.
On 16 minutes Clee took the lead, a corner from the left by Nicky Walker was met by Josh Walker, with the prolific striker getting in front of his defender and glancing a header home.
The second goal came on 57 minutes - also from a corner - this time goalkeeper Roxburgh missed the cross, giving Ben Middleton an easy header to scramble the ball over the line. After that it was all Sheffield, as the league's bottom side threw everything at the hosts, hoping to come away with something from the contest.
On the hour mark they were rewarded with a penalty, as a Joe West free kick was handled in the area by Jack Vann, up stepped Luke Mangham who sent keeper Ollie Battersby the wrong way, only to see his effort hit the post.
A barrage of corners from the visitors put the home side under a lengthy period of pressure, unfortunately the hosts were able to ride out the storm, hanging on for three points that enhanced their title push.
MATCH REPORT:
SHEFFIELD FC WOMEN 2 LOUGHBOROUGH VIXENS 0
Sheffield FC’s Women marched to the semi-final stage of the East Midlands Regional League Cup on Sunday, as two early goals eliminated Division One leaders Loughborough Vixens, with the hosts running out 2-0 victors.
Club started on the front foot exploiting space on the right wing, and on 4 minutes they took the lead, as Lucy Cook outpaced Freya Alexander to put a ball across the face of the box that found Amy Nelson steaming in at the back post to finish. On 12 minutes it was an almost identical route to goal, once again Cook down the right wing, and the cross this time being stabbed home by leading scorer Stacey Buxton.
With the game seemingly in control, the hosts never really looked in any danger, however a sloppy spell ten minutes before the break almost proved costly for Sheffield, as Isabel Sheridan put the ball in the side netting following a defensive lapse, whilst seconds later Sophie Durban’s effort hit the post following more slack defending.
The second half was an even contest, with the nearest either side came to troubling the scoreboard was when Club skipper Nicole Kemp hit a ball from the edge of the area, the ball slicing off the top of the bar. Sheffield’s reward for this win is a semifinal tie on March 9th, the opponents yet to be decided, with a May final just 90 minutes away.
MATCH REPORT:
WORSBROUGH BRIDGE 2 SHEFFIELD FC U21 2
Sheffield FC’s Development were left scratching their heads for the second consecutive game, as they had all three points denied by a last second equaliser, drawing 2-2 with Worsbrough Bridge on a very heavy Park Road pitch.
Club started the better of the two sides playing up the slope, with OJ Pike breaking through one-on-one with the keeper in the opening minutes, only to be denied by a fine stop by Matty Simpson. Despite being on the back foot, it was the hosts that broke the deadlock on 18 minutes with their first attack, skipper Lewis Easterbrook making no mistake from close range to make it 1-0.
The away side tried to level things, but apart from a deflected effort from Blake Freeman and a long range shot from Freddie Jones, Worsbrough stood firm. In the second period it was the home team that did most of the pressing, with Pat Warrington doing well to block a shot from Easterbrook, whilst he produced a fine point-blank save from Kieron Bradley following a good break down the left from Luke Thornton.
On 72 minutes Sheffield scored the equaliser, a strong battling solo run from Toby Shepherd-Blunsten saw him take the ball through the middle of the defence, before remaining calm to slot the ball beyond Simpson.
Five minutes later it was 2-1 to the young Clubbies, a cross from the left from substitute Jake Madey-Barnes went into the mix, with Shepherd-Blunsten popping up to slam the ball home.
All was looking good for the first away win of the season, only to see the Briggers break up the pitch with Charlie Gill beating the offside line, crossing the ball into Bradley who finished emphatically at the back post.
