The history of Tamworth Football Club began back in April 1933 when Michael Flowers, a London businessman who had moved to the Tamworth area wrote to the local paper "Tamworth Herald" concerned that his new home town did not have a senior football club. On Saturday 29 April 1933 a second letter was printed in the herald, by which Mr. Flowers had thanked fellow townsfolk for getting in touch with him and had secured a ground to play at with a capacity of 5,000.
