They compete in the Northern Premier League Division One East, on the eighth level of the English football pyramid.

[3] On the pitch, the club's finest hour came in 1904 when they won the FA Amateur Cup, a competition conceived after a suggestion by Sheffield.

[4] Subsequently, two members, Nathaniel Creswick and William Prest, formed the Sheffield Football Club.

[7] Initially, Sheffield FC games were played among club members themselves and took the format of "Married v Singles" or "Professionals v the Rest".

[10] Sheffield's near neighbour, Hallam, was formed in 1860 and in the same year the two clubs first met each other in a local derby which is still contested today.

[15] By this time the club had decided only to play teams outside Sheffield in order to seek a bigger challenge.

Celebrations included games against the England B team at Hillsborough[25] and fellow amateur side Queen's Park F.C.

At Wembley stadium, they drew 1–1 with Billericay Town, before being beaten 1–2 in the replay at the City Ground in Nottingham.

In 1994 the club won the Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup for the first time, beating Worksop Town on penalties at Hillsborough.

Inter's side included World Cup winner Marco Materazzi and a young Mario Balotelli.

As part of his visit, Pelé opened an exhibition which included the first public showing in 40 years of the original hand-written rules of football.

[24] Sheffield have reached the play-offs of the NPL Division One South on four occasions, but have so far failed to win promotion.

In their first Division One South campaign in 2008 they reached the final, losing on penalties to Nantwich Town, before being knocked out in the semi-finals in 2010, 2012 and 2019.

The club first played in the FA Trophy in 2007 after winning promotion to the NPL, but have so far failed to advance past the qualifying rounds.

Four Sheffield players have appeared for England – Charles Clegg, who played in the first international game against Scotland in 1872,[36] John Owen, in 1874,[37] Thomas Sorby, in 1879, and Jack Hudson, in 1883.

In 1999, Richard Tims got involved with Sheffield FC when he was invited to a home game in Don Valley Stadium.

He took over the club and helped it secure its own ground, the Coach and Horses Stadium in Dronfield, Derbyshire.

[41] The club bought the Coach & Horses ground in Dronfield in 2001, which was previously the home of Norton Woodseats F.C., a notable football team who reached the semi-finals of the FA Amateur Cup in 1939.

The proposed 4,000 person capacity stadium features a heritage centre celebrating the city's role in football history.
