Maidstone United have always been a different team, and never for a good reason. No one has suffered such a steep decline in English football: from professionalism to playing in public parks. No other has spent decades exiled from their city and without their own stadium. His humble story captivated Nacho González, but it was not until he met Sam Bone, his starting midfielder, by chance, that the author traveled there to make it his own. This book tells how a club that survived traitors, fraudsters and even criminals in the worst fields in the United Kingdom starred in 2024, along with some irreducible fans and some footballers who will never be millionaires, in one of the greatest feats that are remembered in history. FA Cup, the oldest football tournament. You may have never seen a Maidstone match. But after learning about their adventure, you won’t forget what they accomplished.
The magazine Dollsix years after starting to publish Books, publishes its thirteenth title, a very special work because it is the first from a newborn label, The Average Inglesa bookswhich from today will be part of our literary family. The similarities in approach, tone, journalistic treatment and the way of telling about football have always united us with La Media in a natural way. His canal on British football, in fact, is already an indisputable reference for sports journalism in Spain. But now that link goes one step further with the creation of an editorial alliance. This is the first chapter of a new adventure that will continue to bring more and better books to our catalog. Not to mention how much our English accent will improve along the way.
