The 1898 Sheriff of London Charity Shield was the first edition of the Sheriff of London Charity Shield. The match and subsequent replay were both drawn and hence the honour was shared between Corinthian and Sheffield United.[1][2] The shield was the largest of its kind ever modelled, measuring 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m) in height and 3 feet 4 inches (1.02 m) wide.[3]
