Winless: My Year with Football's Ultimate Underdogs

by Carl Jones

In 2015/16, New Mills AFC were relegated from English football's eighth tier having failed to win a game in 15 months. With national media branding them 'the worst team in England', a dedicated team of volunteers set about restoring pride to this small community club on the edge of the Peak District.Following their fortunes over the course of a season, comedian and author Carl Jones takes an entertaining, insightful and occasionally hilarious look at life in non-league as he meets the player-turned-manager who went on to become chairman, the talented footballers released from Premier League Academies who dream of going pro and the hardy fans who travel home and away in hope rather than expectation.Can The Millers end the wait for a precious three points and prove that they're more than just a punchline?
