IN THE YEAR 1867


CJE638

Recommended Posts

As a football historian, I have noted that this year is the 150th anniversary of important dates in Sheffield football history. The first every football cup competition in the World - The Youdan Cup was played in February/March 1867. The Sheffield Football Association was formed on 7 March 1867 and Sheffield Wednesday were formed in September 1867.

I am trying to put an article together about this, so does anybody know of any other important Sheffield event, sports or other things,  that took place or started in that year, which I can include in the article
