Can't get to the others as it comes up with a malware warning

I had the same problem last year Dave. I spoke to Gregor about it and he said he had scanned and scanned it and couldn't come up with anything. I asked one or two others to try it and they said it was fine so i just assumed it was my computer that was goosed!

Brilliant idea

If only I had a frigging clue how to do Facebook...! How hard can it be though eh?

Lawson Bennett was a gardener and handyman for one of our customers for years. He'd always tell me about the old Stanley days and him goin for his medical at Chelsea.

Sadly on Monday, October 11, 2010, he died suddenly at his home, aged 72.

I had heard that he'd passed away...

I'm still keen to speak to any family etc. that he may have if you can help with that, or perhaps your customer can?

Thanks for the info

There is now a Facebook page if you'd like to pass it on to friends (or whatever you do with these things - not my thing!!!)

Here's a little update for you...

I have found my first genuine 62 veteran - had a brief meeting with Alex Smith this morning. He's really enthusiastic about what's happening and I'll be meeting him again soon to get his recollections.

There's an update here - ASFC News Story > 4442

The search has now been widened to all squad players in 61/62, so anyone who can help, please get in touch.

I have recently been told of a Workington player who scored six in two games against t'Stanley that season, but they were expunged as they didn't count. I will get details.

Bob Dobson · 26-11-2011, 12:58

The player was Johnnie Haasz. He certainly scored 4 at Peel Park when we lost 4-Nil but in fact we didn't get to Workington for the return, so the story has been added to since 62. He is thought to be still alive and I have set detectives onto tracking him down.

I know a couple of blokes who were involved in the close-down, and they believe their story has never been told, so I am getting in touch with them with a view to Dan contacting/interviewing them.

Bob Dobson · 28-11-2011, 20:00

I have traced Johnny Haasz and will email details to the club.
Was John Marshall on the books? I have a postal address for him but no other details. He worked for Post Ofice telephones. Does anyone have his contact details - PM me please. He attended Accrington Grammar School and was a great goalie. He also played cricket for Bash.

he may have been on the books possibly. but if he was he never made any appearances in either league or cup football.

There was an Alex Marshall in 1960-61 who scored 2 goals in his 8 appearances, a John Marshall in 57-58 who made 7 appearances, no goals, and a Tom Marshall who played 3 games in 25-26. No Marshalls ever played for us in non-league either

I remember John Marshall keeping goal for Stanley in the 1957/8 season. He was a good keeper but only stayed a while. Played quite a lot with the reserves also. A local lad.

ossy kid · 30-11-2011, 01:24

That would be the John Marshall, 7 appearances, no goals ,cause he was in the net.
