As so far i gather a bit over 2 pages of signatures were collected from tonights match for support of the campaign, Rob Heys has given his support on behalf of the club & will put something on the fishy site.

Many thanks everyone whom pledged support so far:D

I'm sure I remember Les sprinting onto the Peel Park pitch with his magic sponge when a player needed attention. He was known as the fastest trainer in the football league at that time.

I can't remember Les Cocker sprinting onto the pitch with his magic sponge, but I can remember him playing for Stanley

Probably my senility then, but I definitely remember him doing it at one or other of our local clubs.

I think Harry Hubbick was the trainer and magic sponge man. According to this Les went to Luton as trainer

You memory isn't playing you up, Redraine. He was assistant trainer during his last two years at Stanley, from 57-59.

Even if he was assistant trainer, I still think he would be playing rather than running on with the magic sponge.

Apparently not. Just checked on Greger Lindberg's site and he actually retired as a player in May '57, re-registering for just one game in Sept of that year due to an injury crisis.

Les was appointed Stanley's assistant trainer in May 1957, then re-signed as a player in September 1957. He became Luton's assistant trainer in August 1959. (Accrington Stanley: A Complete Record 1894-1962. Mike Jackman & Garth Dykes)
