14 matches. 14 locations. And one man's fascinating first-hand account of modern football through the lens of the FA Cup.
Winner Stays On is a unique adventure that takes us across the entire spectrum of the English game, from Tuffley Rovers to Burton Albion, Luton Town to Manchester City, revealing the people and places that make football tick.
With original research and rich, funny prose, the book blends elements of travel writing with football culture and barstool sociology alongside an in-depth look at the changing role of the FA Cup.
