Sheffield FC – The Worlds First Football Club

Dear Nelson Mandela,

all of us at Sheffield FC are deeply saddened by the sounds of this morning and not being able to see you again. Your life was filled with purpose and hope and dreams, for yourself, for your nation and for the entire world. You have become an inspiration and a role model for what appeared to be impossible at the time.

You have changed life and the way people treat it, you taught us forgiveness and humanity crossing the burdens of hate and revenge.

It was one of the greatest moments in our club history, when were given your appreciation and the Nelson Mandela Sports & Solidarity Award for sending football boots to South Africa, which we also achieved through your support.

May your legacy be remembered forever and your soul set free to shine on us and future generations to come. Thank you, for all you have given and done, we will never forget you!

Sincerely Yours,

Sheffield FC – The World’s First Football Club
