Accrington Stanley's name echoed throughout the football world when in 1962 they resigned from the Football league and were not allowed to change their minds.A year later the club was wound up and a town,represented when the League was first founded,lost its football team.Since 1967 Accrington's hardy fans have been building another town team.Starting £30 in the bank and a rented field behind a pub,their club has been slowly working its way through non-League football.
The painful memories were revived when an advertisement for milk reintroduced Stanley to the British public "if you don't drink milk you'll only be good enough to play for Accrington Stanley" was the message.But in 2006 Accrington won the Conference and with it entry back into the Football League.This is the story of the fans and the club they built.
