A brief history of Sheffield football


The City of Sheffield has been described as the home of association football. The game was played here as long ago as 1793, when a match was played involving six men on each side.

The first football match at Bramall Lane took place in December 1862. The participating teams were Sheffield Club and Hallam. The match lasted three hours and resulted in a goal-less draw.
