How Steeple Sinderby Wanderers Won The FA Cup

Is it possible? Could a humble village team really have taken on the best that the football leagues could throw at it and still come out on top? When an enigmatic trainer with revolutionary theories, two of the best players ever to have disappeared without trace from football's top flight and a chairman of Napoleonic ability all find themselves in the same place at the same time, it just might be!

This joyous tale of the unstoppable rise of the ultimate underdog is rivetingly retold in a funny and touching new one-man show -- prepare to laugh, prepare to cry, and above all to believe every word!

Paul Hodson won a Fringe First at the Edinburgh Festival 2006 for 'Meeting Joe Strummer', which he also directed. Paul's play about John Peel, 'Teenage Kicks', sold out its run at the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe and will tour in 2012. Over the years Paul has adapted a number of books for the stage, including Nick Hornby's 'Fever Pitch', which toured for six years and Bill Bryson's books 'The Lost Continent', 'Notes from a Small Island' and 'Down Under'. Mark Jardine has recently been seen in 'Oranges and Sunshine' with Hugo Weaving and Emily Watson. He was in 'Forever Young' and 'Garage Band' at the Nottingham Playhouse earlier this year. He has played Mr Lyons in Bill Kenwright's production of 'Blood Brothers'.
