A 28-year-old journeyman born in Jamaica but brought up in Barking, he scored Maidstone’s first goal and assisted the second in one of the great FA Cup shocks. As the big clubs angle for changes to the format, Maidstone are providing the perfect antidote to elitism. They have already banked close to £500,000 and will earn another £85,000 when their next tie is shown on terrestrial TV. That will be used to install a new pitch at their stadium because the current artificial surface must be replaced. Off the pitch Reynolds can be found behind the wheel of a minivan transporting people with support needs around east London - and on Sundays he brings them to watch local events such as wrestling or basketball.
