Reverend and the Makers Frontman Jon McClure Aims to Rekindle Sheffield FC’s Glory
Reverend and the Makers frontman Jon McClure has become the new chair of Sheffield FC, the world’s oldest football club. McClure aims to leverage the club’s rich history and his own influence to boost attendances, address past dysfunction, and ‘bring football home’ to Sheffield.
His initiatives include free entry for children and a focus on promoting the club’s global significance as the birthplace of football, with plans to develop the club’s junior and women’s sections and create an ‘1857 academy’ for international reach.
