Tamworth Football Club - no I didn't know they had
one till I moved here either - are affectionately called
The Lambs. They play in the Dr Martens Premier League
and finished runners-up to Kettering Town last season.
Tamworth F.C. go by the name of the Lambs, which they
and their ground acquired when they moved to their present
site at the start of the 1934/35 season.
The name comes from the Lamb Inn, which originally stood on the site. The first
known use of the site was as a pig farm at the turn
of the 19th century.
No, I'm not making this up!!! and before
you ask no, I don't know why they aren't called the
pigs!
Football is way too contentious for me; and the locals
(Tammies or Sandbacks depending on who you ask) are
passionate about their side, so I'm taking the cowards
way out, saying no more and just pointing you at their
website www.thelambs.co.uk.
