Came across this on Youtube:

Nine and a half minutes worth nearly.

Good quality.

Larger away following then than we get now !!!

Re: York 2 Accrington 4
 

Cheers for that, Haggis...brought back a lot of happy memories for me. Only a few days before we'd been beaten at home by Southport and there was talk of the wheel coming off our promotion bid and Hereford catching us up. I remember at the end of this game, three different people phoning me to tell me that the Sheep fanciers had lost at Kidderminster. Although it still wasn't a mathematical certainty, I recall almost floating down to the station, knowing, just knowing, that we were going to be a football league club again! :)

love it love it love it

this game had the lot and it's funny how 2006 now looks like the 70's!!

Craney running the length of the pitch to celebrate his goal just ace!

i like the bit right at the end where you can see the York ballboys running off giving v's to the Stanley fans!

goose pimples as well for Browns penalty even though you know the end result

This was one of only two games that we have won whenever I have taken my son in law to see Stanley play. I think I'm really going to have to ban him.

Re: York 2 Accrington 4
 

Yes I recall this being the antidote to the Southport game.

Remember at the end leaving in a group of Accy Fans and being described by a York woman who should have known better as "a bunch of Lancashire Bar stuards". Mind you our terrace had spent much of the match suggesting an alternative use for Kit Kat.

Think it opened an 11 point gap and we knew we were up.

Great day! Mullin was top class back then!

Re: York 2 Accrington 4
 

Best bit is the craney celebration! Coley telling him to keep running ha! Quality video!!!

Re: York 2 Accrington 4
 

I remember that game well. First game I took my eldest son too (and the last) but what a day, apart from the ball boys giving the fingers to the away fans - but the abuse Stanley fans in the main stand got from people who ought to have known better (pensioners). That was the day when the whole of the Conference looked up at Stanley and yep that is who they are, not some has been league club who are on their way down.

Re: York 2 Accrington 4
 

who was the keeper??

Re: York 2 Accrington 4
 

Elliott! Penalty save king.

Re: York 2 Accrington 4
 

Funny how times change. Anybody remember the old conference.tv website? I used to think it was the best thing since sliced bread. "What do you mean I can watch Stanley highlights online? Is this some kind of witchcraft?". Of course if you'd said we'd soon be in the league and all highlights and reports would become a regular thing I would have had you carted away in the looney van.

The game itself is notable for being one of the few choice occasions where I have visited Yorkshire by choice!! ;)

Good find Haggis.:)

great day - and the little lad in the Stanley shirt running along the terrace towards Mullers to celebrate Stanleys first goal is now an apprentice at Burnley FC and was playing for the reserves tonight
