Blyth's Cup magic remembered

Blyth Spartans’ renowned FA Cup history has been given pride of place at the new National Football Museum.

The Manchester museum, pictured, opened its doors five months ago and is home to over 140,000 items exploring football's history - past and present - through world class exhibitions.

The Evo-Stik NPL Premier Division Spartans are one the clubs taking centre among the 'Cup Magic' exhibits which include interactive videos for visitors on the FA Cup's most memorable moments.

The video featuring the Spartans is just over two minutes long and tells the story of their FA Cup giant-killing exoloits over the years with a particular focus on the Cup runs of 1977-78 and 2008-09.

Entry to the museum is free and it is open Monday to Friday between 10am and 5pm and on Sunday between 11am and 5pm.
