Road to Wembley - Welcome to Evesham Utd

Our latest N&R boys Evesham United play at home to Halesowen tomorrow in the 3rd Qualifying Round of the FA Cup. Here is the skinny on the Robins from the Cotswolds:

League: Southern League Division One Midlands
Colours: Red and white stripes
Ground: They share with Worcester City, capacity 4,749
Founded: In 1945 by returning servicemen from World War II
Famous ex-players: Well not very famous but Andy Preece and ex-Spurs player Gary Stevens.
Ex-manager: They were managed by ex-Coventry player David Busst, who famously got so badly injured in a game versus Man Utd in 1986 that Peter Schmeichel vomited on the pitch upon seeing the injury and had to have counselling afterwards, along with a number of other players. Busst's never played again and his testimonial played against United was a sell out.
Current manager: Paul West

If Evesham win they will equal their best ever place in the FA Cup.
