Pictures of Sheffield football 1881-1885

[nonleaguiesnapshots]

Hi guys,

I'm putting together some pieces on behalf of a football club called Redcar Athletic FC about the history of football in the town. It's actually really interesting; from local rivalries with Boro in the Sheffield Challenge Cup, to reaching the quarter finals of the FA Cup, to having an ex-Arsenal player as a guest in the local park on Christmas Day.

One thing I'm really struggling with, though, is pictures. There was a man called William Harrison who was Redcar's captain, who also frequently guested for a Sheffield side in the early 1880s. Does anyone have any photos from these sides from around this time? Specific games he played in were:

-January 1881: London v Sheffield

-December 1882: Sheffield v Berks and Bucks

-December 1883: Lancashire v Sheffield 

He also played for Redcar in a game against Sheffield in October 1885, and in the FA Cup for Sheffield against Nottingham Forest in January 1883.

Any help or info on the above would be hugely appreciated. Either reply here or you can contact me on nonleaguesnapshots@gmail.com.

Thanks!
