This exhibition about Bishop Auckland FC is on at Auckland Castle from 22nd May - 28th September.
So renowned is Bishop Auckland FC that it holds the distinction of being the only amateur line-up to have featured in the popular table top soccer game, Subbuteo.
What is perhaps less well-known is that the team owes its origins to a boisterous kick-about among theology students studying at Auckland Castle.
Now the club’s hallowed beginnings and illustrious early history are being celebrated in an exciting new exhibition opening here at ‘The Two Blues’ spiritual home – Auckland Castle.
