Buxton have one of the biggest games in their history this lunchtime.

They are in the second round of the FA Cup for the first time since the 1958/59 season.

They face Morecambe knowing a win could see them face the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United in the next round.

The Bucks defeated York City in the last round to reach this stage Diego De Girolamo scored the last winner, to send over 1000 fans in the away end wild.

There will be a big crowd at home this time, with the match already sold out.

Speaking about the game David Brindley the club secretary said:

"The general buzz around the town has been fabulous, as a local who has watched the Bucks for many years, you dream for occasions like this.

"If we are on the right side of the result, a tie away against a top six Premier League side would be phenomenal, as long as we give a good account of ourselves, I think we will be happy as a football club."
