Sheffield The FC was created 160 years ago, exactly on October 24, 1857 by William Pres and Nathan Creswick, writes Periscope.
William Pres and Nathaniel Creswick were two gentlemen who developed new rules and laws for a game that would entertain friends of all ages in the community.
In 1857 football became a very strong invention in society, and today it is the world's most popular game.
When the first professional league was established with 1885, this club was not good enough to compete with newly formed teams that had good finances and thus created an amateur league.
Being proud of his status as a real amateur club, Sheffield created an amateur league of more than 12 teams, each living in the Sheffield region could attend.
Throughout history, the Sheffield Club The FC has always played amateur football. /Periscope/
