It is the oldest major stadium in the world still to be hosting professional football matches. . The stadium was built on a Sheffield road named after the Bramall family (who were file and graver manufacturers). The Bramalls owned "The Old White House" on the corner of Bramall Lane and Cherry Street, and subsequently built the Sheaf House, now a public house that still stands at the top of Bramall Lane.

C. and Sheffield Wednesday but since 1889 it has been the home of Sheffield United.

Bramall Lane is one of only two grounds (the other being the Oval) which has hosted England football internationals (five games prior to 1930), an England cricket test match in 1902 against Australia and a FA Cup Final Replay in 1912, when Barnsley beat West Bromwich Albion 1 - 0.

Photograph: Phil Cole/Getty Images Tuesday 25 September 2007 21.04 EDT First published on Tuesday 25 September 2007 21.04 EDT Share on Messenger Close "My wife and I have won international caps for the British Virgin Islands women's and men's football teams," says Ian Jamieson, a little boastfully. "Are we the only such couple or are there any instances of other married couples getting international caps?" Impressive a feat as it is, Ian, you are not the only members of this exclusive club. For instance, the Portsmouth defender Hermann Hreidarsson and his wife Ragna Lóa Stefánsdóttir - also a centre-back - both own a fancy collection of Icelandic caps. "I know some footballers' wives are not very interested in football, but Ragna is different," he told the Sun. "I don't know any other footballer who married a player!" He didn't look very hard.

According to reader Hrafnkell Kristjánsson, "Haraldur Ingólfsson, formerly with Akranes (and for a short spell Aberdeen as well), and his wife Jónína Víglundsdóttir both played for Iceland between 1992 and 1995." Staying in Scandinavia, Fredrik Andersson notes that "both Hans Eskilsson and Malin Swedberg played for Sweden. She played 78 times for Sweden, while he is the less successful in the couple with just eight caps. Today they are married with two kids and she is a pundit on Swedish TV". And Zimbabwean reader Hurugu Pasvani offers Esrom Nyandoro and his wife Ruth Banda - "Nyandoro has been capped more than 30 times by the Warriors, while his wife, who has since retired from international football, has been capped by the Mighty Warriors more than 15 times." Another couple that share a collection of caps as well as a conjugal association, are the former United States captain Claudio Reyna and his wife Danielle Egan, who has six US caps to her name.

And north of the border, the Vancouver Whitecaps' Alan Douglas writes that "Steve Kindel and Sara Maglio of the Whitecaps and Canada won four and six caps respectively during their careers." However, the highest-profile, nearest-miss example of an international footballing couple must be Ronaldo and Milene Domingues , who first got together after he spotted her on television. The Brazil striker eventually popped the question, while Milene broke the world keepy-uppy record, gave birth to baby Ronald ("My wife and I eat a lot at McDonald's so we chose Ronald," explained the toothy one) and was selected for Brazil's 2003 women's World Cup campaign. Sadly she never played, the pair divorced and she remains without an international cap to this day. If you know of any married international couples we have missed, email us at knowledge@theguardian.com . JEEPERS KEEPERS "Has a goalkeeper ever been booked or sent off for diving?" asks Allam Jeeawody. Where better to start the search than with Arsenal's Jens Lehmann?

He collected eight yellow cards in the Premier League last season, but the best of the lot came at Chelsea when he got up Didier Drogba's nose by pushing him while the referee had turned his back. Drogba dived pathetically, leapt to his feet and went for revenge with a barge. Lehmann also went down and both players were booked. It's probably worth mentioning the infamous incident involving Chile's Roberto Rojas, a flare and some fake blood, as reported in this previous Knowledge column , but Luis Vallespín's story about the Real Madrid goalkeeper Paco Buyo comes closest to a goalkeeper booking for diving. "Real were playing Atlético Madrid in December 1988 and Atlético's Paolo Futre was sent off for punching Buyo," declares Luis. "But TV replays showed Buyo had fallen to the floor without being punched so he was suspended." Lehmann would be proud. Any more for any more? Then let us know at the usual address .

THAT'S JUST NOT CRICKET "I'm led to believe that Notts County used to play their home games at Trent Bridge, The Oval hosted an FA Cup final and Bramall Lane used to be a cricket ground, but are there any other cricket grounds that have hosted either league or international football matches?" enquires Derek Corney. Notts County did indeed call Nottinghamshire CCC's Trent Bridge "home", playing there occasionally from their inception in 1867, then moving in on a full-time basis in 1883 and staying until 1910, when they switched to Meadow Lane. As for The Oval, home to Surrey CCC, it actually hosted every FA Cup final - with the exception of 1873 - between 1872 and 1892. The Oval also staged England's first home game, a 4-2 win over Scotland in 1873. Along with Bramall Lane, it is the only ground in England to have hosted football and cricket internationals. But the England-Scotland/cricket-football connection began even earlier than that.

The two teams contested the world's first-ever international match on November 30 1872, at Hamilton Crescent in Partick, home to the West of Scotland's cricket team. The game finished in a goalless draw, although Scotland won there both in 1874 (2-1) and 1876 (3-0). "A crowd of 4,000 generated gate receipts of £103," writes Jim Lappin. "The cricket club had charged £10 but received a further £10 as gate receipts exceeded £50." Derbyshire CCC's County Ground played host to Derby County until their move to the Baseball Ground in 1895, the year in which it hosted England's 9-0 victory over Ireland in the British Home Championship, while it also staged the FA Cup final replay nine years earlier. Also in the east midlands, Northamptonshire CCC's Wantage Road ground played host to Northampton Town's matches until as recently as October 1994. The presence of the footballers meant the Northants cricketers had to play most of their home matches between May and August.

John Rhodes writes in to point out that Yorkshire CCC played regularly at the former home of Bradford Park Avenue FC, who went into liquidation in 1974. In fact, Yorkshire have only played more home matches over the years at Headingley and Bramall Lane. The last of their 306 first-class matches at Park Avenue took place in 1996. Stretching further back into the mists of time, James Kettle reveals: "My own team, Southampton, spent two Southern League seasons playing at Hampshire CCC's County Ground - between 1896 and 1898. This article suggests that small attendances were the problem, with the Saints only able to attract around 12,000 spectators for their games. The football team moved a few hundred yards down the road to the Dell." Some equally impressive detective work has been undertaken by Andy Page. "You may be interested to know that cricket was played at Villa Park in more genteel times," he explains.

Back in 1884, when an Australian XI beat an England XI by four wickets in a four-innings match that lasted one day (the top score on either side was 21), the venue was known as Aston Lower Grounds. "Although the ground was in Staffordshire, Warwickshire CCC were interested and used it for some minor matches," adds Andy. "Happily, foresight enabled them to avoid a future of slum terraces, gas holders and spaghetti junction. They settled on the much more pleasant parkland surroundings of Edgbaston." Outside the UK, Brisbane's Gabba stadium reportedly hosted games involving Blackpool, Everton and Manchester United among others in the 1950s and 60s, as well as staging "soccer" matches during the Olympic Games in 2000. But - to invert the question for a moment - the most unlikely cricket/football combination surely belongs to Preston's Deepdale. According to Michael Haughey it "once hosted a cricket match once for Ian Botham's testimonial year. There were black sightscreens at each end and white cricket balls imported from Australia which were all hit out of the ground as there were very short boundaries".

KNOWLEDGE ARCHIVE "Can you help with this?" asked Peyter Corner in 2003. "My dad has a medal that he found among my late grandfather's possessions after he died. The medal says Byron Cup winners 1911-12 on the back and on the front Derbyshire & Chesterfield FA. He'd love to know more about it." "Don't your correspondents know how to use Google?" harrumphed a grumpy Alan Fisher. "A quick search for Byron Cup reveals that it is a competition for amateur teams in the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire area. As far back as the first world war, teams like Mansfield Wesley (who later became Mansfield Town and gained entry to the Football League) were winning it. It's still in existence, although the quality of the teams seems to have declined over the years. For instance, GTS Plumbing & Heating beat Mosborough Trinity 4-3 in the first round on January 4 this year (2003). It doesn't exactly get the blood racing, does it?

Unfortunately, I can't find any trace of who won it in 1912, the year when Peyter's grandfather was a winner." Click here for thousands more Knowledge questions and answers. Can you help? "The recent England-Russia match had the Berezutsky twins playing together in defence," notes Graeme Westwood. "Have any other twins (identical or otherwise) represented their country or played for the same club? More intriguingly, have there been any cases where one twin's success has substantially over-shadowed the success of the other?" "Who is the most-capped international footballer to have only ever played non-league football?" wonders Paul Curtis. "Which is the club with the most prolific youth academy, in terms of players currently playing top-flight football in England?" asks Guillermo Pérez Carazo. "When I was at school in the early 80s, I remember our teacher reading us a novel about a future World Cup (I think it was 1998) in which the finalists were Zaire and Iceland," recalls Colin Leckey. "I seem to remember Iceland winning after knobbling Zaire's Pele-like talisman, who played in bare feet.

Have I completely imagined this, or does anyone else recall the book?" "It was mentioned recently that Roma's Francesco Totti contrived to not score seven penalties last season," writes Stephen Bell.

It is the home of Sheffield United. As the largest stadium in Sheffield during the 19th century it hosted most of the city's most significant matches including the final of the world's first football tournament, first floodlit match and several matches between the Sheffield and London Football Associations that led to the unification of their respective rules. It was also used by Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield F.C. for major matches. It has been the home of Sheffield United since the club's establishment in 1889. It is the oldest major stadium in the world still to be hosting professional association football matches.

The stadium was built on a Sheffield road named after the Bramall family (who were file and graver manufacturers). The Bramalls owned "The Old White House" on the corner of Bramall Lane and Cherry Street, and subsequently built the Sheaf House, now a public house that still stands at the top of Bramall Lane. The stadium was originally opened as a cricket ground. It was also used for football games in the 19th century by Sheffield F.C. and Sheffield Wednesday but since 1889 it has been the home of Sheffield United. Bramall Lane is one of only two grounds (the other being the Oval) which has hosted England football internationals (five games prior to 1930), an England cricket test match (a single Test, in 1902, against Australia) and an FA Cup Final (the 1912 replay, in which Barnsley beat West Bromwich Albion, 1–0). It also regularly hosted FA Cup Semi Finals and replays between 1889 and 1938.

The ground has also hosted rugby league games for the Sheffield Eagles, a Billy Graham Evangelist meeting in 1985 and a pair of rock concerts by Bruce Springsteen in 1988. The record attendance for the ground is 68,287, set at an FA Cup 5th Round tie between Sheffield United and Leeds United on 15 February 1936. The ground has now been extensively renovated in the wake of the Taylor Report, and has an all-seated capacity of 32,702, making it the largest capacity ground outside the top two tiers of the English football league system.

Sheffield United FC: Bramall Lane Stadium Guide | English Grounds | Football-Stadiums.co.uk By NotFromUtrecht (Own work) [ CC BY-SA 3.0 or GFDL ], via Wikimedia Commons Pretty much every football ground has a history to speak of in its own way, but Bramall Lane’s history knocks them all out of the water. The home of Sheffield United is actually the oldest professional football ground in the world, having hosted its first match as far back as 1862. The ground has its own claim to fame in a more modern sense, too, as it was the first to host a floodlit football match, which it did on the 14th of October 1878. The uniqueness of Bramall Lane doesn’t stop there.

It is one of only two stadiums in the world that has hosted an England football international match, an England cricket test match and an FA Cup final. England’s national side played five internationals at the Sheffield ground before 1930, whilst the cricket test match came in 1902 when England played Australia. The FA Cup final was actually a replay between Barnsley and West Brom, a match that Barnsley won 1-0. Stats By Gregory Deryckère (Own work) [ GFDL , CC-BY-SA-3.0 or CC BY 2.5 ], via Wikimedia Commons Bramall Lane is, as is the case with most old stadia, built in the ‘English Style’ of having a separate stand on each side of the pitch. It does have two corner ‘infill’ stands in the South-West and North-East corners that are a concession to the more modern ‘Bowl Style’ of stadium, however. Here is some information on each of the main stands: The Redbrik Estate Agency Stand - This is the oldest existing stand at the ground and used to be called The Bramall Lane Stand. It is a two-tier structure with the bottom-tier housing the away fans.

The Topspring Stand - A lot of fans still refer to this as The Laver Stand, owing to the fact that this was what it was called for a long amount of time. It is the main stand at the ground and houses the Superstore and the club’s museum. The Kop Stand - Currently sponsored by Kennedy’s Law, The Kop, as is traditional with kop stands, is a single-tier structure that houses the club’s most boisterous and vocal fans. The Duchy Homes Family Stand - As the name suggests, this is considered to be Bramall Lane’s family stand and runs along the side of the pitch. This is also where the executive suites and executive boxes are located. It is linked to The Kop by Pukka Pie Corner.

The tours last about an hour and take in all of the sites you’d expect a club tour to take in: The changing rooms, the hospitality suites, the player’s tunnel and the pitch side dugouts. If you’d like to know more about the possibility of taking your school on a tour then get in touch with the club directly who’ll be able to point you in the right direction. You can also explore the sufc-community.com website for more information.

There are only six dedicated club museums in England and one of them is at Bramall Lane. The Legend Of The Lane museum features a host of the club’s memorabilia, collected during its extensive and exciting history. Though it is not open to the public at the moment as the club undergoes some reconstruction work, that will likely change in the future and we’ll update this accordingly. About Sheffield United 1901 Sheffield United Team - See page for author [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons Sheffield United Football Club was actually formed as an off-shoot of Sheffield United Cricket Club in 1889 and have played their home games at Bramall Lane ever since their formation. They won the First Division in 1898 and have won the FA Cup on four separate occasions, having also lost out after making the final twice more. They have never won the League Cup, though they did reach the semi-final of that particular competition in 2003 and 2015.

The theory of predestination suggests that everything that’s happened would have happened regardless of whether or not something in the past occurred differently, though that could have been put to the test if Sheffield Wednesday had never left Bramall Lane. As it is their departure for Olive Grove meant that the owners of the Lane needed to find some new tenants to help them generate some income, hence Sheffield United were formed at the Adelphi Hotel, which was on the site of the Crucible Theatre. Bramall Lane History Kop and John Steet terraces in 1989 - By Lewisskinner (Own work) [ GFDL , CC-BY-SA-3.0 or CC BY 2.5 ], via Wikimedia Commons Before it became Sheffield United’s home ground, Bramall Lane was used as a cricket field, with six different cricket clubs playing there. A single test match was hosted at the stadium in 1902 when Australia played England, beating the hosts by 143 runs. Attendances weren’t good at the ground and England’s loss was blamed on poor light - something that was believed to be as a result of smoke from the nearby factories.

Football was played at Bramall Lane for the first time in 1862 when Sheffield Football Club went up against Hallam Football Club in order to raise money for the Lancashire Distress Fund. The ground was also used to host the final of the first known football tournament in the world, The Youdan Cup, with local team Hallam FC beating a Norfolk XI. Future Developments Corner of the Shoreham Kop and John Street Stand - By Mark Hawksworth (Own work) [ CC BY-SA 3.0 or GFDL ], via Wikimedia Commons Bramall Lane has undergone numerous renovations during its lifetime, most recently in the mid-2000s. There are plans to expand the capacity on The Kop, but these have been paused until such a time as Sheffield United establish themselves as a regular Premier League club.

It is the oldest major stadium in the world still to be hosting professional football matches.The stadium was built on a Sheffield road named after the Bramall family (who were file and graver manufacturers).

The Bramalls owned "The Old White House" on the corner of Bramall Lane and Cherry Street, and subsequently built the Sheaf House, now a public house that still stands at the top of Bramall Lane. The stadium was originally opened as a cricket ground. It was also used for football games in the 19th century by Sheffield F.C. and Sheffield Wednesday but since 1889 it has been the home of Sheffield United.Bramall Lane is one of only two grounds (the other being the Oval) which has hosted England football internationals (five games prior to 1930), an England cricket test match in 1902 against Australia and a FA Cup Final Replay in 1912, when Barnsley beat West Bromwich Albion, 1–0.

It also regularly hosted FA Cup Semi Finals and replays between 1889 and 1938.The ground has also hosted rugby league games for the Sheffield Eagles, a Billy Graham Evangelist meeting in 1985 and a pair of rock concerts by Bruce Springsteen in 1988.The record attendance for the ground is 68,287, set at an FA Cup 5th Round tie between Sheffield United and Leeds United on 15 February 1936. The ground has now been extensively renovated in the wake of the Taylor Report, and has an all-seated capacity of 32,702.

This ground is still commonly referred to by its original name of The Oval, even though it had many name changes due to commercial sponsorship deals. The Oval is the home ground of Surrey County Cricket Club, and also traditionally hosts the final Test match of each English summer season in late August or early September. The Oval was the first ground in the United Kingdom and second in the world (after the Melbourne Cricket Ground) to host Test cricket. The nearest Tube station is Oval, but Vauxhall is only half a mile away. History In 1844, the Oval was a market garden. The Oval was then (and still is) owned by the Duchy of Cornwall. Surrey County Cricket Club was set up in 1845. The Duchy was willing to grant a lease of the land for the purpose of a cricket ground, and, on 10 March, 1845, the club signed a lease with the Otter Trustees, who held the land from the Duchy of Cornwall, 'to convert it into a subscription cricket ground', for 31 years at a rent of £120 per annum plus taxes (£20 more).

The original contract for turfing the Oval cost £300; 10,000 grass turfs came from Tooting Common. In 1868, 20,000 spectators gathered at the Oval for the first game of the 1868 Aboriginal cricket tour of England, the first tour of England by any foreign side. Thanks to C. W. Alcock, the Secretary of Surrey from 1872 to 1907, the first ever Test match in England was played at the Oval in 1880 between England and Australia. The Oval thereby became the second ground to stage a Test, after the MCG. In 1882, Australia won the Ashes Test by seven runs within two days. The Sporting Times printed a mocking obituary notice for English cricket, which led to the creation of the Ashes trophy, which is still contested whenever England plays Australia. The first Test double century was scored at the Oval in 1884 by Australia's Billy Murdoch. The current pavilion was completed in time for the 1898 season.

In 1907, South Africa became the 2nd visiting Test team to play a Test match at this venue. In 1928, West Indies played its first Test match at this venue followed by New Zealand in 1931. In 1936, India became the 5th foreign visiting Test side to play at the Oval, followed by Pakistan in 1954 and Sri Lanka in 1998. Zimbabwe and Bangladesh are yet to play a Test match at the venue. During the Second World War, the Oval was intended for use as a prisoner of war camp, although it was never employed as such. The Oval is referenced by the poet Philip Larkin in his poem about the First World War, MCMXIV. The first One Day International match at this venue was played on September 7, 1973 between England and West Indies. It had the privilege of hosting matches of the 1975, 1979, 1983 and 1999 World Cups. It also hosted five of the fifteen matches in the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy, including the final.

No floodlit day/night international match has been played here to date, although Surrey have played several floodlit one-day matches. In fact, Surrey's ground is noted as having the first floodlights at a sport arena in the form of gas-lamps dating back to 1889. The ground also had a Zeppelin and later a hot air balloon employed for aerial views during tests but this was never commercially viable and was gone by the turn of the millennium. Several other British grounds had this feature also such as Edgbaston. The Oval once held the record for the largest playing area of any Test venue in the world, but that record has since been surpassed by Gaddafi Stadium in Pakistan (though it is still the largest in Britain). The billionaire Paul Getty, who had a great affinity for cricket and was at one time Surrey CCC President built a replica of the Oval on his Wormsley Park estate. The famous gasholders at the Oval are actually newer than the ground by several years, having been built circa 1853. There has been much speculation of late as to whether they should be demolished, however many believe they are part of the Oval's landscape and therefore their future looks secure.

It is also a general sports ground in the world which staged the first FA Cup final in 1872. It has also witnessed rock concerts, ice skating and the now traditional end-of-season Aussie Rules match. 21st Century development At the end of the 2002 cricket season, Surrey started redeveloping the Vauxhall End. The development included knocking down the outdated Surridge, Fender, Jardine and Peter May north stands and creating in their place a single four tier grandstand known as the OCS Stand. This work was completed in May 2005, increasing ground capacity to around 23,000. In January 2007 Surrey announced plans to increase capacity by a further 2,000 seats, this time by redeveloping the Pavilion End. This is subject to the planning application being approved by Lambeth Council. The Lock, Laker and Peter May south stands will be replaced with a new stand, which will have a hotel backing on to it. The Surrey Tavern at the entrance to the ground will be demolished and a new pedestrian plaza will be created in its place, improving access to the ground and opening up views of the historic pavilion.

However, these plans have been delayed due to fears over health and safety as the ground is very close to a gasometer. In 2009, permanent floodlights were installed for use in day/night matches. The floodlights are telescopic and can be retracted when not in use. Football The Oval was also an important site in the historical development of football, before the game had its own separate national stadium. Football had been played in this part of London for many years prior to the inauguration of the Oval: "The Gymnastic Society" – arguably the world's first Football club – met regularly at Kennington Common during the second half of the eighteenth century to play football. The Oval was home to the first ever international football match on 5 March 1870, England against Scotland, organised by the Football Association. The game resulted in a 1–1 draw. Similar international matches between England and Scotland took place at the Oval in 1871, in February 1872 and 1873. On 8 March 1873, the England national team beat Scotland 4–2. England would continue to play occasionally at the Oval until 1889.

First FA Cup final On 16 March 1872, The Wanderers beat the Royal Engineers 1–0 to win the first ever FA Cup. This final was notable for the Engineers' modern footballing style of teamwork rather than individual play. C. W. Alcock, Secretary of the Football Association, was the prime mover of the competition. He had just become Secretary of Surrey, so that The Oval was the natural choice of venue for the final. Alcock also captained the successful Wanderers side. The Oval hosted all subsequent FA Cup finals (1873 excluded) up until 1892. The Oval is one of two grounds (Bramall Lane in Sheffield being the other) to have staged both England football and cricket internationals, and also FA Cup finals. The Oval also hosted the second ever Rugby Union international between England and Scotland in 1872 (the first was hosted at Raeburn Place a year earlier). Other events The ground has hosted many other events, including hockey fixtures, as well as concerts. The Oval has hosted several exhibition matches for Australian rules football. The first such match was held between Carlton and a team of All-Stars in 1972.

In 2005, a record crowd for Australian rules football in England (18,884) saw the Fremantle Dockers defeat the West Coast Eagles. In October 2011 the grounds served as the practice facility for the NFL's Chicago Bears. The Bears were in London to play a match against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Wembley Stadium.
