It's not Sheffield, it's Wellingborough. I know because I live about only 10 miles from them. ;)
Do you know the youngest football club, i believe its wigan if you look at it in league matters, they'v been in professional football for something like 20 years.

Anyone know?
Indeed I did know that. Started by factory workers I believe.
Just a part of their site I thought would be useful.

>Sheffield: where football kicked off
The world’s very first football club was born in Sheffield on October 24th 1857.
