My 4th great grandfather played for the original side, his great grandsons wife May lived until 99 years old, I remember going to her house in darnall in the 80’s. He was the goal scorer of the first ever recorded goal in world football history, also the landlord of the barley corn public house and known as the Sheffield huntsman. A gentleman named M Hardy (also a relative of his) has already researched a lot on this as I’ve found a lot of information on him via his posts as before the internet we only had him in the family tree folder passed down from an aunt and only mentioned him and his sons being keen sports men and landords, amazing what you can find, according to my Mother, there are a lot of relatives bearing the name Sellars still in Sheffield, who know a lot more.
