About this event
Sheffield doesn’t claim to have invented the game of football, nor the rules. Equally, there isn’t a singular person, event, artefact, or location that makes Sheffield the home of football. However, during the period from 1850 to 1875, what happened around Sheffield had by far the most significant influence on the development of the game as we know it today.
