The National League North champions defeated Macclesfield ahead of back-to-back upsets of League One pair Huddersfield Town and Burton Albion to reach the FA Cup third round, where they were drawn at home to Tottenham Hotspur.

In front of a global TV audience, Tamworth held Ange Postecoglou’s cast and crew of seasoned internationals scoreless for 90 minutes before falling to defeat in extra-time, capturing the hearts of the nation along the way.
