Without wishing to be patronising , I think that Adam's idea is well-meant but misguided.

If I wanted to show my respect for Rory Prendergast next week I'd go to watch him at Bloomfield Road. I'd join in with all the Blackpool supporters in applauding a fine left-winger and I'd be proud that he'd played for Stanley.

Perhaps I'd be queuing up alongside all those Bradford Park Avenue fans who saw their star player summarily removed from the team half-way through the season three years ago.

Did we see those Rory fans travel every week from Bradford to Accrington ?

No we did not , despite the fact that they'd just lost a player who'd scored 14 goals before Christmas !

Whenever we meet up with Rory (and, as Willie Miller suggests, other fine Stanley players from the past) we'll smile and say "Well done".

But no more than that , thank you.
