An underdog triumphing against all the odds having not kicked a ball in the league since early November when the season was halted, overcoming adversity to beat five higher league sides and a wily old manager’s love affair with Non-League’s most prestigious competition.

HEREFORD boss Josh Gowling is confident his side will come back stronger from FA Trophy disappointment.

The Hornchurch boss clinched his fourth success in the competition as a manager having also won it as a player with Canvey Island in 2001.

The Urchins have come from behind no fewer than EIGHT times during their fairytale run to Wembley, with mighty Notts County shipping three equalisers en route to a semi-final defeat on penalties.

OK, so the story of Hornchurch and their record-breaking march to the FA Trophy final probably won’t be coming to a cinema near you. But if Stimmo had his way, his team would be immortalised on the silver screen.

The Urchins skipper has seen Chelsea midfielder Drew win under the famous arch but never expected to get there himself.

The 28-year-old was told he wasn’t needed last summer, but remained with the club as he was under contract for the campaign.

Captain Josh Falkingham slammed in a 76th-minute winner as Town beat National League South Concord Rangers to claim a unique slice of history as the first EFL side to win the competition.

Hard-working, humble, honest – the Sulphurites captain has been the perfect leader for boss Simon Weaver, both on and off the pitch, in the last four years and it’s no surprise he’s lifted three trophies during that time too.
