Original Title: AMA: RM Clark, author of the book “Winner Stays On: England with the FA Cup for a Compass” - in which Clark details an adventure across England and English football, using 14 randomly-generated FA Cup fixtures as the only guide
This FA Cup third round weekend, we are delighted to be hosting an AMA with author RM Clark, to talk about his debut book “Winner Stays On: England with the FA Cup for a Compass”.
The book details a journey across 14 matches and 14 locations, from the extra-preliminary round to the final - and through this a fascinating first-hand take on modern England and English football. Featuring historical research, original interviews and first-hand observations, themes include the changing role of the FA Cup and the increasingly international stakes of the domestic game.
It features football clubs who seldom see the limelight, stories from both unsung heroes and famous names, ranging from unpaid part-time coaches to ex-international footballers and members of the House of Lords. From a journey on the team bus with Slimbridge AFC, an enlightening afternoon spent in the press box at Wembley, and a night on the town with 5000 people from Grimsby - there is much to enjoy!
Clark (u/sheffieldwheresmycar) will be answering questions this morning as , as /r/soccer builds up to the Saturday fixtures of the FA Cup third round proper!
