From India With Love

11th September 2018

Sheffield FC had an unexpected visitor last Saturday, as a young gentleman representing the Oldest Club in India - Mohan Bogan - dropped in to S18 to see The World's First take on Pontefract Collieries at the Home of Football.

Sarthak Mondal, a Sports Business Management Student at Sheffield Hallam - and also joint manager at Sharrow United - originally from Kolkata, is a life-long supporter of Mohan Bogan and took the opportunity to take part in a ceremonial shirt swap between the two clubs. Club Chairman Richard Tims, who visited in 2010, also recorded a video message to the President of the Calcutta cub, inviting them to join the Club of Pioneers.
