First ever penalty?

maidstoneaccy · 14-09-2005, 16:44

correct tealeaf that was on a notice board in a pub in South East London todayit was wolves v accrington and a player by the name of heath was the penalty taker for wolves

What's more, our lads ended up losing 5-0 in front of a paltry Wolves crowd of 3,500, despite the presence of England international George Haworth in our side.

England international?

how many have there been that have played for Stanley?

Just the one...and he didn't actually play for Stanley - he played for their predecessors, Accrington FC.

. . . and, while in Quiz Mode, here's one that's won me a few pints (the question is courtesy of Jimbo, as I recall).

Name the former Accrington Stanley player (still alive) who is the holder of a World Cup Winners Medal.

Easy!! Paul Grayson. But it's a shame we couldn't add Rachel Brown as well.

Four-Four-Two had an article on penalties last year, which included the following snippet from The Accrington Observer's match report on the Wolves' game -

"The first half was well contested, in the second moiety, the homesters scored four goals in a very short time, one of these being while Elliott was off the field changing his knickers, while another was scored by a penalty kick under the new rule."
