A foreword from Haydall Codeen captures the emotion and energy that this book has in droves as he writes: "There is still an end-of-pier warmth to the FA Cup, a miracle survivor from yesteryear, something to mark the passage of the seasons by even as all those straining, hopeless, upset-craving teams from the parks fall away with the onset of spring.
