[Margaret Pilkington]

On Thursday last week I was in a taxi cab in Torquay....driven by a Glaswegian driver who looked tough enough to eat girders....he asked me where I was from......I told him Accrington(Hyndburn doesn't cut it at all) his face broke into a wide grin and he told me that he effing well loved Accrington Stanley...then excused himself for his bad language.
He said after his own favourite team(can't remember who they were now) his second best team was Accy Stanley.
So the football team are one of the things that put Accrington on the map....mainly because of the milk advert.
