AFC Rushden & Diamonds

Northern Premier League Division One Midlands, England

Rushden & Diamonds raced from non-league into the EFL before collapsing completely in 2011. Supporters created AFC Rushden & Diamonds in response. Start deep in the pyramid and recreate the famous climb with a fan-owned club - but this time build slowly enough that the story has a sustainable ending.
