The History Bombs team visited Sheffield FC, the world's first football club, to film the History of Football in One Take!

You can find out more about the History of Sheffield FC here http://www.sheffieldfc.com/

This video spans the progression of football from Cuju in Ancient China to Calcio Fiorentino in Italy, before returning to Britain for folk football and street football, the primary influence upon modern football.

We were very fortunate to work with Sheffield FC on this project, the world's first football club! The hospitality of the chairman, Richard, and the positive attitude of the members of the men's and women's squads who came along to film with us was fantastic.

We thought it would be appropriate to focus on football in the build up to the World Cup in Brazil and indeed make reference to Thomas Donohue taking the game all the way from Scotland to Brazil where it was played from 1894.
