Some time around the late 60s. A forced move to the coast in the early 70s led me to give indifferent support until last year when I started to come home on a regular basis. I finally got my act together two weeks ago and attended the Halifax Match.

Anyone is entitled to say what they want and I don’t care what opinions others have on this, for me it's a rebirth of a lost child hood wish to support the team of my home town.

What I mean by that is my mates in Accrington around the late 60s and early 70s wouldn’t have Stanley as a proper team to support because they were amateurs. It was simply a case of Burnley or Rovers, I reluctantly took up Rovers and two months later I give up supporting football altogether and for the last 37 years it stayed that way. Now my family think I’ve lost it……….Tuff I’m coming home, On Lads on…
