How Macclesfield FC made football stand still with BIGGEST giant-killing ever | FA Cup on ESPN+

On January 10, football stood still. In one of the greatest shocks in FA Cup history, sixth-tier Macclesfield FC toppled reigning champions Crystal Palace. At the helm is John Rooney — younger brother of Wayne Rooney — leading a club that refuses to know its limits. Now, as Macclesfield prepare to welcome Premier League side Brentford in the Fourth Round, ESPN goes beyond the upset. From players juggling part-time jobs to a team united by loss after the death of teammate Ethan McLeod, this is football played for something greater. Grit. Belief. Purpose. ESPN presents: Macclesfield.
