A Heritage Lottery Fund grant will be used to celebrate the history of Tamworth Football Club by collating memories of fans, players and officials during its 75th year.

The non-league side is celebrating its past by educating people about the history surrounding the club.

An interactive website, a commemorative guide book and playing cards will be produced by volunteers and fans of the club.

According to reports from the Birmingham Post, supporters who have been part of the club's history will be interviewed to preserve the club's legacy.

Anne Jenkins, head of the Heritage Lottery Fund in the West Midlands, said: "Tamworth Football Club's history is a vital part of the town and its fortune - and misfortunes - have been followed by thousands of local people."

A number of top footballers have played for the club over the years, including Arsenal legend Paul Merson.
