Maidstone United have only been around for 32 years and are normally housed in the sixth division.
Today they knocked out Ipswich Town in the FA Cup.
“Spectacular”Gary Lineker signs on X.
Many believe that the charm of the FA Cup is to see the so-called non-League teams measure forces with big dragons.
Now, it wasn’t a Premier League badass little Maidstone United from Kent met on Saturday, but a top team in the Championship.
Praised by all
Ipswich were of course big favorites in advance, but Maidstone shocked everyone and won 2-1 after double class goals.
The bang is the talk of the day in Football England and Maidstone United is now praised by everyone.
“Words cannot describe our feelings right now”the club writes on X.
“What an effort by Maidstone United. Spectacular victory”writes Gary Lineker.
The victory means that they are through to the fifth round, which is the round of 16.
