For January 13th I'm going back 20 years to 2001 and a storming FA Trophy 3rd Round match between Bilston Town of the Southern League Western Division (7th Level) and Nuneaton Borough of the Conference (5th Level).
Bilston's 3-2 win was something of a shock with Bilston twice coming from behind in front of 806 against a Nuneaton side containing names such as Simon Weaver (current Harrogate Town boss), and Terry Angus (ex Northampton Town and Fulham).
The venue was Queen Street, Bilston, a location notorious for vandalism (120 attacks in 5 years!). I recall reading a report on one attack on the clubhouse which used a forklift aimed at removing an ATM or slot machine and which led to the closure of the ground for a while.
CRB Match No. 1208
