This is the incredible true story of the Lancashire team who dominated the world's first cup competition at the beginning of the 20th century. Bury FC, FA Cup winners in 1900 and 1903, won the famous competition before Manchester United were formed and 65 years before Liverpool finally triumphed.
Award-winning journalist Mark Metcalf tells the story of how a small town team took on and beat the cream of Edwardian English football and triumphed twice at Crystal Palace. Illustrated with contemporary photographs, newspaper cuttings and memorabilia, this is a reminder of when the FA Cup was the ultimate prize in football and Bury the undisputed kings of The Cup.
