    McClure and performing arts firm IAV Holdings Limited have bought a stake in the club, whose men’s side currently play in the ninth tier of English football, with hopes of climbing the non-league football system.

    Sheffield FC is the world’s oldest football club after having been founded in 1857.

    McClure said: “Sheffield is where modern football was born. This club carries the origin story of the world’s greatest game, and with that comes a fair amount of responsibility.
