Wembley will be packed with 90,000 fans when Liverpool and Chelsea contest the FA Cup final this Saturday.
But English football's showpiece game is merely the culmination of the extraordinary annual journey that is the world's oldest knockout competition.
This nine-month, 14 round, 2,750-mile odyssey began way back on August 6, when minnows from the ninth and tenth tiers of the game competed in the extra preliminary round, a million miles removed from the multi-millionaire players gracing the Wembley stage.
Photographer Duncan Elliott set out to capture the 'Road to Wembley' and those dreams of glory, starting with a tie between West Didsbury and Chorlton AFC and neighbouring Avro, which attracted 355 hardy and hopeful spectators.
