Eric Whalley deserves every award he is given - he has given everything to Accrington Stanley and has even put his personal health on the line - would many chairmen do that for their club? I think not.
Men like Eric Whalley are a dying breed; he has gone unrecognised after doing so much good work not only for Accrington Stanley but for the town of Accrington - which no council could EVER acheive.
Deep breaths shaker .. don't live up to yer' name Glad I ducked.
Will perhaps re-consider seeing as you put your point forward so well ... however, feel probably no need as will soon be made Lord Mayor or given the Keys to the 'City' in the near future. Doubt that he is unrecognised though, asked at work today and all seem to know who he was with tears in their eyes, some were a little derogatory to his personaliaty though? Is he a little grumpy ??
