Graham and Jamie explore the origins of football in Sheffield, the influence of cricket on the sport, and the connections between football, rugby, and Australian rules football. They discuss how Hallam FC’s victory in 1867 helped shape the rules and legacy of football, from the introduction of corners to the concept of cup football.
