Soccer chief takes on Brian Deane at Bramall Lane.
By: Nick Ward (The Star).

ONE of the beautiful game's biggest names got to grips with football in miniature when he dropped in on Sheffield.

FIFA vice-president Jack Warner came up against Blades hero Brian Deane in a game of table football while visiting Bramall Lane's Legends of the Lane Museum.

Mr Warner, who is also the president of the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football or CONCACAF, was then given a tour of the venue to hear about the history of Bramall Lane, Sheffield United, and Sheffield FC, the world's first football club. He went on to watch the Trinidad and Tobago Under 20s beat a young Sheffield United XI - which also included Lee Hendrie, Ryan France and Kyel Reid - 2-1 in an exhibition match at Bramall Lane.

The young Soca Warriors visited Sheffield as part of their preparations for the FIFA World Championships in Egypt next month.

Mr Warner said: "Sheffield's football history is unparalleled anywhere else in the world.

"England has a special place and a rich history in the sport so it is great to see a museum like this.

"The hospitality in Sheffield has been excellent. Everyone has shown terrific kindness since I arrived and it is a great pleasure to be here."

Following the tour Mr Warner enjoyed a reception with United directors, football referee Uriah Rennie, Owls chief executive Nick Parker, Sheffield and Hallamshire FA chief executive James Hope-Gill, Sheffield Council chief executive John Mothersole, and Sheffield FC chairman Richard Tims.
