A Children’s Illustrared History of Football ….. in Sheffield.
Published by Sheffield Home of Football.
Written by. Stephen T Wood, John Stocks and John R Wilson
This 40 page book charts the birth of football in Sheffield, which has the oldest club, the oldest ground, the first ever official football club match, and influential in writing and drafting the first rules which are the basis of today’s game.
Sheffield also saw the first ever football tournament and trophy, the Youldan Cup, the first use of floodlights and the first radio broadcast, to name just a few.
A great little illustrated book for children to understand where and how this global game started.
This is just part of the continumed good work that ‘Sheffield Home of Football’ continue to do to promote the city as a beacon at the start of the global game.
At only £7.50 it’s a great present for any new supporter to the game.
