AFC Telford, our latest FA Cup giant killers are away at Northwich Victoria tomorrow hoping to win and get their names in the first round hat.So let me tell you a few things about The Bucks:
- Telford is one of the countries largest towns (pop: 139,000) without a league club.
- AFC Telford is actually owned by the fans. Saved from bankruptcy in 2004.
- The clubs motto is numquam obliviscere (never forget).
- Telford play at the New Bucks Head. It was built in 2003 and is considered one of the best grounds outside the Football League.
- Local rivals include Shrewsbury and Kettering
- Since AFC Telford was formed in 2004 (the original name was Telford Utd), they have had 2 promotions in 4 years and last year lost in the North play-off final.

- Stephen Jagielka will line up tomorrow in midfield, the older brother of Everton's Phil.
