Former Torquay United winger Lee Sharpe says it is a shame to see the Gulls languishing in National League South – but hopes the club can make it back to where he believes they “should be”.
National League South Maidstone United put themselves deeper into FA Cup folklore by dumping out the Championship high-flyers in front of 4,472 jubilant travelling fans at a packed Portman Road.
Maidstone United are the last Non-League club still standing in this season’s FA Cup and have remarkably already won six FA Cup ties this season – the same number of wins a Premier League club would have to achieve in order to lift the cup itself.
Proud boss George Elokbi lavished praise on his FA Cup heroes as Maidstone United made history by reaching the fourth round for the first time since reformation in 1992.
George Elokobi used to cut grass and split wood to earn money so he could watch screenings of FA Cup games when he was a young boy growing up in Cameroon.
