…there was, quite simply…
The Sheffield Foot Ball Club
(1857- )
“ Gentlemen!
…We have established a…
Foot Ball Club…”
…A Foot Ball Club, however, that’ll have to make do by playing amongst themselves for the first three of the Game’s, by now, very, VERY many seasons…
…you know, like…
…Marrieds vs Singles, Handsomes vs Uglies…
Back to the left, now to the right…

(Doesn’t sound all that blinkin’ ‘kind’ to us ! )
It surely would’n’t’ve paid to have been overly sensitive back in those somewhat less than tactful times…
