Join an unforgettable year at Sheffield FC, recognised by FIFA as the first football club ever formed. The club helped shape the modern game and is one of only two clubs to receive the FIFA Order of Merit, alongside Real Madrid. However, life at Sheffield FC is far from glamorous. The club now plays in the ninth tier of the English football, operates outside the professional game and, despite its name, doesn't even play in Sheffield. Join Rebecca Lucy Taylor, Adam Oxley and Simon Thake as they follow the club in the 2025/26 season on and off the pitch, meeting the people who keep the club running and exploring the realities of life at grassroots level. Presenter: Rebecca Lucy Taylor Producers: Tom Ryan, Nathan Moore and Dan Green Reporters: Adam Oxley and Simon Thake Sound Design: Kasel Kundola Story Consultant: Gareth Hydes Executive Producer: Rob Dowell Commissioning Editor: Alistair Miskin Made in Sheffield (or North Derbyshire) for the BBC
