Re: Welcome to the Accrington Stanley people!

when the 'Old Stanley' resigned from the Football League it was feared that the name had died forever

I had to do a google and voila... i found the answer...

The club took the name Stanley because most of the boys who played in its early days lived in the Stanley Street area of the town
