Sheffield FC, the world's oldest football club, is joining in the celebrations to mark the centenary of one of Italy's most famous teams.

A team from Inter Milan came to South Yorkshire in October last year to play a match to help mark the Sheffield club's 150th anniversary.

On Saturday, Sheffield FC chairman Richard Timms was in Milan for a 100th birthday lunch and match.

Inter president Massimo Moratti held the lunch at his Milan residence.

Among those also present were top officials from Fifa and Uefa and the presidents of some of the most important European clubs, including Barcelona.
