It is very sad when the only reason people remember an Accrington football club is because of a little scouse kid.


I take it that he's referring to Coley!

Not a bad article, but there's one inaccuracy - we weren't the first club to resign from the league mid-season...Wigan Borough were on 26th Oct, 1931.

May be the legal vehicle that carried the club and went through the mechanics of resigning back in 1962 was Accrington Stanley (1921) Limited but to my mind there is only one "we" and there'll only ever be one Accrington Stanley - after all aren't we "the club that refused to die" ?

Remember other clubs have come back to the surface under new limited companies like Middlesborough and Bristol City. The only difference is that they were submerged for a matter of days - not 5 years like Stanley was.
