The 2015-16 campaign delivered a season of inconsistent form but unforgettable cup magic for Exeter City, as The Grecians secured a 14th-place finish in League Two. The year was defined by a thrilling FA Cup run that saw the side, under the guidance of Paul Tisdale in his 500th game in charge, force a dramatic Third Round replay against Premier League giants Liverpool. Homegrown striker Tom Nichols’ 12 goals across all competitions proved vital to the early success and a 10-match unbeaten run before his mid-season transfer, while the team also secured a crucial league double over local rivals Plymouth Argyle, cementing a campaign of fighting spirit and homegrown pride.
