I think yesterday was a 'not to be forghotten' day in the chronology of Accrington history. Well done to Atarah for starting this off.

Thanks for that Bob, I was born in '63 so had never heard the term until recently in that sense as it had obviously dropped out of use. Always thought playing was for children! 
Still haven't seen many pics of HM in Accy -does no-one have any?
