People for Accrington to be proud of
 
People from Accy (as opposed to things in Accy for people) to be proud of......

Jo(h)n Anderson. When he lived on Norfolk Street he was known as John. Then he became famous and lost his "h" (YES/ Jon & Vangelis etc)

I started a new thread for this because I don't think it quite fits in the old one.

Just what I was thinking. But just because they're famous doesn't mean we have to be proud of them, so perhaps there is a difference.

Whatever subject we choose there will be people who disagree with each other as to who/what is or isn't worth being proud of.

We could even argue that we should have no claim to pride in something if we have done nothing itowards the creation of it.

I vote for Kipax to be inaugurated into the Hall of Fame! I should have known you'd been to every one because of the photos....but what about Shotgun? Anyways, respect.

If you remember there was some trouble regarding who myself and some other members thought should be included in the "Hall of Fame", this thread surely won't upset the petty few who objected to the football element of those posts.

Where is the Hall of Fame thread located?

The title of this thread is 'People for Accrington to be proud of'
Well, how about Arthur J. Inman. Who lost his right arm in a brickyard accident when he was fourteen. Was presented to the Prince of Wales when he visited Accy during the depresion and in the nine short years that I knew him, taught me more than I realised. The only man I have ever met who could tie a shoelace with one hand.
My Grandad was brilliant.

Your granddad didn't live on Canal Street at Church by chance
