By George! Elokobi's heroes stun Ipswich

IPSWICH 1

MAIDSTONE UNITED 2

YOU just had to see it to believe it. There were tears, there were waves of torment but the unrivalled feeling of pandemonium that preceded the full-time whistle will stay with these legendary Maidstone United players, staff and supporters forever.

Separated by 98 places in the English football pyramid, the sixth-tier underdogs rocked up at Championship promotion-chasing Ipswich with barely a puncher’s chance.

Yet it was George Elokobi’s non-League superheroes that would deliver a knockout blow to stun the Tractor Boys courtesy of two ruthless finishes in either half from Lamar Reynolds (below) and Sam Corne.

Maidstone became the lowest-ranked side to reach the fifth round since Blyth Spartans in 1978.
