Stories

We've summarised below the stories that have been added to the website covering some of the key moments in the history of the Club. You can visit the Stories page HERE and search for your self.

You can browse through the stories, moving between the pages by clicking on the page numbers at the bottom of the page. Otherwise use the search box to see if we have a story about a particular player, event, ground, opposition team or something else. More stories are being added all the time.

Collections

The Collections page is full of documents, programmes, files, photos, videos and images that we've added to the website. They are used to illustrate stories and pages across the website but you can also search the Collections. You can find the page HERE.

If you are searching for something particular, such as details of a player, opponent or ground then just type the details into the search box. You can then narrow the search down by using one or both of the drop down menus. Browse by Category allows you to look for specific types of items such as programmes, player profiles or shirts. You can then narrow it down further using Filter By Season which will show you the seasons that there are any items for. If an image or document doesn't show immediately then if you refresh the page then that should bring it up. If a small square with an arrow is visible in the top right hand size of an image then that means you can click on it and open it as a separate document.

Hall of Fame and Roll of Honour

The Heritage Project, working with the Club helped relaunch the Hall of Fame and created a new Roll of Honour to site alongside it. Both are celebration of those who have contributed to the success of the Sheffield Eagles, both on and off the pitch. The Heritage Project website is the first time that you are able to find out who has been inducted into each category, without visiting the Eagles office and looking on the wall. You can out more details HERE with links to the entries for each of those in the Hall of Fame or Roll of Honour.

Timeline

The timeline provides an overview of the history of the Sheffield Eagles, starting with origins of the Club all the way to the most recent season. This provides a quick snapshot of each year and over time we'll be adding more detailed reviews of each season covering key developments, match summaries, results, tables and player statistics for that season. As you can imagine it's a big undertaking but so far we have included reviews of the 2000 and 2012 seasons. More will be added very soon. You can see the timeline HERE.

Programmes

Thanks to the hard work of long term Eagles fan Ian Swain he has scanned his collection of programmes (home and away) dating back to 1995. With further programmes that have also scanned that now means there are nearly 600 programmes on the website. If you go to the Collections page HERE and click Programmes in the drop down menu under Browse by Collections. When you click through to the programme you're looking at if it doesn't immediately show then just click refresh on your browser. As some of the files are very large they may not show immediately.

40 Years of Shirts

A photographic record of as many shirts as possible - home, away, third and special kits - that the Sheffield Eagles have played in since their first game on 2nd September 1984. The shirts photographed are a mix of those held by the Club and Brian Moore, the Club's kit manager - which includes many shirts donated to the Club by long term fan Dean Mitchell. Additional shirts were loaned for photography by Jo Stanser-Collins, Michael Stringer, Dave Mappin, Mark Webster, Richard King and Gary Hetherington. 92 shirts have been photographed and it is thought only 6 shirts are missing. If you have any of missing shirts then please get in touch and we will see if we can arrange for them to be photographed. See them all HERE.

40 from 40 Years

The 40 Sheffield Eagles players, each representing one season in the Club's history. This list has been put together by the Sheffield Eagles Heritage Project who asked fans to nominate a player from each season. These nominations were then narrowed down to three from each year with fans asked to vote for one. This then created the "40 from 40 years" and we're sure there's going to be plenty of discussions about who has been included and who hasn't. 551 players have played for the men's team so far, so it was really difficult to narrow them down to 40. See the full list HERE.

Celebrating the 40th Anniversary

The Heritage Project worked with the Club to celebrate the 40th anniversary on 2nd September 2024, with a range of events, activities, booklets and special memorabilia. Find out more HERE.

Player Profiles

Richard Pepper, the Club statistician has been keeping records of all the players who have played for the Sheffield Eagles since the first ever game. We've used those records and uploaded them to the site so the record of every player who has ever played for the Club (548 as of November 2023) can be found on the Collections page HERE. If you know the specific player you are looking for then just type their name in the Search box then click Player Profile in the Browse by Collections drop down menu. You'll be able to find their heritage number, date of debut, number of games played and points scored.
