Hi there. Surprise.
30 for 30 presents Booyah.
Can I get a witness from the congregation? You can't stop authenticity.
Booyah! Stuart was exactly like you saw him on camera, off camera. He dialed it up 10%.
Can you imagine the impact of young black boys and girls looking at that going, I feel seen. He changed the culture. He changed sports. Stream Booyah, presented by Modelo, right now on the ESPN app.
Welcome into the latest edition of ESPN FC. I'm Dan Thomas. Alongside me, Stevie Nicholl. Here is a sentence I don't say very often or indeed ever. We'll kick off today's show in Maccasfield as they were taking on Crystal Palace, the defending champions, of course, and it would be the hosts who will win by two goals to one in what was being called the up. set of the century. Macclesfield the first long league club to eliminate the FA Cup defending champions in 117 years. Palace the first top flight club to get knocked out of the FA Cup versus a club five levels below it in the English Premier League. Clubs are separated by 117 places in the league pyramid.
Jon, 117 places between you. The first time since 1908 that a non-lead side has knocked the holders out of the FA Cup. Try and sum up your emotions for me right now.
We spoke earlier and we spoke about hope and having a chance, but I never really believed it. That was just me hoping. Wow, the boys were absolutely outstanding and the way the performance they've put on, wow, you know, we can give them a little bit on the side and help them in that sense, but they've got to cross that righty-lander and I couldn't be any prouder.
You scored the first goal and the scenes were absolutely incredible. Could you even have dreamt of that moment?
i know i have i have to be honest i was up till four o'clock not last night night before just thinking what i was gonna do but it wasn't a goal um but yeah nah the lads the the ball that does put in exquisite on my head that's my best foot my head like i said so um no i'm
yeah no words to be honest for me who bought this club five years ago i never ever would have ever imagined this to have happened today from right move yeah do you know what yeah i bought it from right move you know after four days drinking and i can't remember really buying it and um you know look where we are now it's it's it's incredible pending another four days drinking yeah i think i've already planned the ibiza trip already with the boys Well, I hope not. Not right now, but I think so, yeah, definitely.
Oliver, a really disappointing day. How are you feeling right now, stood in front of me?
Yeah, disappointed, embarrassed. I've been involved in many games as a player and as a manager. I think this is... One of the worst I've seen. So congratulations to Meckelsfield for the win. We didn't show anything.
What were the highlights of Macclesfield's historic FA Cup win?
We didn't show any kind of quality. We didn't show anything. And again, it's my responsibility. I'm the manager. And for me, it's clear what I've seen today. So we have to change things. And there will be definitely some changes. And this will start with the next training session.
What a lot of fun that training session will be, I imagine. Juliana Ron is the valley for us. We'll be talking about Charlton Chelsea a little bit later on. But this, without a doubt, Jules, the biggest story of the weekend.
Yeah, I mean, one of the biggest stories in the HFC history. Really, you mentioned the stats, Dan. This never happened before, really. As embarrassing as this could be for Palace, and Glasner kind of mentioned it a little bit, it's all about Michael's fit, let's be honest. John Rooney, who's Wayne Rooney's little brother, younger brother, doing an amazing job in the National League. They beat Slough in the last round, and then this time it's Crystal Palace, he's the holders. It was an incredible occasion and atmosphere, really, and... I'm not sure if Oliver Glasner probably knew where Macclesfield was before today. Now I think there's a lot of people around the world who know where it is. It's up near Manchester, right?
I don't like that, what he said there.
