Sheffield F.C. Celebrates Their 150th Anniversary
On Thursday night, 08 November, the Inter Milan youth team will play a commemorative friendly against Sheffield F.C, who are the oldest club team in the world. The club celebrates their 150th anniversary this year, and the kick-off is 19:45 GMT at Bramall Lane.
Interestingly, one of the protagonists of last year’s World Cup final, Marco Materazzi, made the trip to England and will appear with the Internazionale Primavera. It says a great deal about a very rich and celebrated professional who decided to pay tribute to world football history. Materazzi, a former Everton player, has been injured since August.
According to the International Herald Tribune, Pelé will also be on hand to lend his support for this momentous occasion.
In football, all roads lead to Sheffield F.C.

Looks like it will be a nice game, But it is rather hard to say Sheffield will win it though.
Also, Sheffield have a very, very, very nice new Crest too, it is pretty much the same design but with the men aither side and the shield being completely revamped.
Go the Sheffers!

Thank you for mentioning the new club Crest. Due to copyright concerns, I was not able to show it; however, I will provide a link that displays the new Crest from a BBC Sport article about the event.
“It’s fantastic that Pele will be there,” Sheffield FC chairman Richard Tims told BBC Sport.
“I think that he’s quite honoured to be invited to mark 150 years of the game. This is the place football kicked off.”
