John Charles Shaw

The Foot Ball Club of Sheffield

The Hallam & Stumperlowe Club…

1830-1918 (…age 88)

This most supreme specimen of athleticism

could, (…should he so wish)

pick up fifty large white marbles placed in a line, one hundred yards long & two yards apart, pick up each marble separately, depositing each one in a receptacle placed back at the start in just under, twenty-one minutes…

Hmmm, impressive, no?

Could any of us do it quicker..?

Whilst Captain of the Hallam & Stumperlowe Club, gets to hoist above his head, the Game’s first ever award that ever was awarded, the brutal yet beautiful

Youdan Cup

Cup ? Are you sure ?? Looks more like a Jug, to us!

…at Bramall Lane

in that oh, so pleasant Sheffield Spring of 1867…
