Ian Craney - League Two's Steven Gerrard, I like it!!

I've only been following Stanley for...let's see...about 4 years, Andy Gouck's strike against Huddersfield proving why the FA Cup is so magical. I played football the next morning shouting 'Dean Calcutt!', 'Rory Prendergast!' and 'Andy Gouck!' whenever I had a shot, bewildering my mates and they had no idea what I was on about!
I continued to follow Stanley with more and more enthusiasm, and managed to travel from my home in Middlesbrough to the FA Cup 2nd Round against Bournemouth with my dad and two of my mates. This match, my first Stanley match, is definately my favourite memory. It was freezing cold but we still had a right laugh, a mate of ours even phoned up to say we got on the telly! (come on, its exciting for a 14-year-old). The pitch invasion after we won the penalty shootout gave me a chance to shake hands with the players I'd been naming in my football matches and I loved every minute of it!
I've continued to go to as many games as possible (alongside working very hard at university of course!...*ahem*...) and I hope it continues!

Not the most interesting of stories but every little helps ey!
