This compelling e-book looks back at the 1996-1997 season on what was a fascinating and exciting F.A. Cup campaign that culminated in the players of non-League Hednesford Town Football Club realizing their wildest dreams by playing against the quality of Premiership Middlesbrough, at the Riverside Stadium, in the Fourth Round.

The author has collated all the stories behind the headlines so the reader can revisit those magical moments of the club's giant-killing wins against Blackpool and York City and how, for 30 surreal minutes, the Pitmen were winning 1-0 against Bryan Robson's team. An absorbing book, it is sure to appeal to anyone with an interest in the history of Hednesford Town and the F.A. Cup.
