Maidstone United are the lowest ranked side for 46 years to make the last 16 of the FA Cup and only the 11th Non-League club ever to make it this far since the current structure was adopted for the 1925-26 season.
Maidstone United are the last Non-League club still standing in this season’s FA Cup and have remarkably already won six FA Cup ties this season – the same number of wins a Premier League club would have to achieve in order to lift the cup itself.
National League South Maidstone United are the lowest ranked club left in this year’s FA Cup – the only sixth-tier club to have reached the third round.
National League pacesetters, Chesterfield, are looking to reach the FA Cup third round as a Non-League club for the third successive season, a feat achieved by just four clubs since the current structure was put in place 98 years ago.
