"JL Carr created heroes who will stay" - Sasa Stanisic
“You don’t have to know anything about football to love this story.” - Klaus Bittermann, Taz
Alex Slingsby is a former professional footballer, a primary school teacher in Sinderby – and a man with ambitions. Supported by the school director, a Hungarian exile with a doctorate in philosophy, he takes on the amateur local soccer team. And indeed: As if by a miracle, the simple men from Sinderby made it to the cup final at Wembley Stadium. But unfortunately this great moment is over far too quickly...
'How the Steeple Sinderby Wanderers won the FA Cup' is much more than a book about football - it is a story of the success of the underdog, a story full of unforgettable characters and a lot of humor but is permeated by a quiet melancholy.
