26th January 2024 - FA Cup 4th Round & Maidstone United

It is the FA Cup Fourth Round weekend and just the one non-league representative. Phil Annets @facupfactfile is on hand to give some insight into this round and the competition so far. Many will have written off National South’s Maidstone but having already dumped Barrow and Stevenage out for the competition to go further than the club ever has in this competition, or the former club before it in fact… there’s some magic in the air that might make, even high flying hosts Ipswich Town quiver a little. So why not send another shiver down their spine…? Remember Roy Essandoh? He of the FA Cup and Wycombe Wanderers fairytale? You soon will, as I speak to Maidstone’s new striker Manny Duku, who aims to repeat the highs of his fellow striker.
