In February, Sheffield United senior officials and legendary SUFC ex players were in Malta for the opening of a football memorabilia exhibition, "A slice of football history", which was on display at the Auberge d'Italie in Valletta.
The exhibition contained various items that are an integral part of football's history, such as the first ever, handwritten rules of football as well as the first ever competitive trophy, the Youdan Cup. The exhibition also ran simultaneously with a visit by SUFC's Hungarian 'sister' team, Ferencvaros, who were in Malta for a week-long training camp.
