And they ordered Birmingham City FC to change their name in honour of the show’s return.
In an Instagram post, the programme’s social media said: “Order 5.
“Birmingham City FC have been ordered to return to their roots this Saturday for the game against Huddersfield.
“Will they carry out the order? Come on, Small Heath Alliance!”
And Birmingham City obliged, simply replying with the message: “Order accepted.”
As well as the name change, the players will come out of the tunnel to the music of the series’ theme song, Red Right Hand.
Ticket office staff will wear flat caps and fans will be able to purchase Small Heath Alliance matchday programmes.
The name Small Heath Alliance is in reference to the area of Small Heath in Birmingham – the area Peaky Blinders is set in during the 1920s.
The football club was founded in 1875, before they eventually changed their name to Birmingham City Football Club.
The Small Heath Alliance will host Huddersfield on Saturday as they continue to try and climb up the Championship table.
The Blues currently sit in 18th place, 16 points clear of the relegation zone.
