PICTURE SPECIAL: The day Diamonds arrived

This week, we have taken a special look back at a memorable day for AFC Rushden & Diamonds.

It was September 28, 2013 and Diamonds were taking on Cambridge City in the second qualifying round of the FA Cup. The club had only been formed two years earlier and this turned out to be one of their best days to that point as they trailed 2-1 at the Dog & Duck before Aaron King and then Alfie Taylor, with his second of the match in stoppage-time, secured a memorable 3-2 victory. Enjoy some of the best images captured on that day.
