It's a magical story about football. But what if football had somehow lost its magic?
It follows the vicissitudes of two football clubs, Manchester United (which readers will have heard of) and another football club, Accrington Stanley (which most readers will probably not have heard of.)
When did the magic first appear in the FA Cup competition? Was it there from the very beginning? Or when the first game was played at the Empire Stadium, which was to become more famous under its later name, Wembley Stadium?
But Mark Roland Langdale poses a more worrying question. When did the magic pour out of the FA Cup?
And can the Football Association ever bring the magic back?
It's a quirky, lively and very informative and readable book. It's highly likely that the book will appeal to older family members, too.
It's published by Matador at £9.99 and if your looking for a Christmas present for a football fan? This book will fit the bill.
