The Stanley family
much has been said in the past about Stanley being a family club, yesterday proved to the world what our family is all about. It is most unfortunate that it took the death of one of our own to prove this but what a show of support we put on for each other and for Coxys blood family.
The Stanley family has lost many of its members over the years, most recently with Stan Spencer who was another who had done so much over the course of his life towards helping Accrington Stanley Football club to where it is today. Not everyone in the family will have had as good a send off as Antony did, which in part would have been due to his age, the tragedy of the cirumstances and the fact that everyone knew that Stanley was his blood. But as we walked sadly down the road towards the chapel it almost felt like an away day, An away day of huge significance, a big cup game and the outside of the church was like Wembley Way with a sea of red and white and waving flags, balloons and scarves on display. The weather even broke for us and played its respectful part in proceedings. The atmosphere was rightly sombre but it still felt like a celebration of his life rather than saying goodbye to a friend. For my part I had done my grieving and goodbyes at the game on saturday, yesterday was about respect. Respect for a friend, colleague, associate and FAMILY. Yesterday was emotional and will live with all who witnessed it for a long time. But it also served to show the town that we are Stanley and we are one. Be proud to be one of us.

Re: The Stanley family
Brilliant post Rob,
Proof in the pudding for me was the Newcastle game. Whilst im working away from home up in Scotland. Meeting up with likewise Stanley fans all brought together and a good time was had by all. All for one cause of supporting the club. Together we are Stanley. |

Re: The Stanley family
Great post. Watching from afar, the way people have rallied round after Coxy's death sums up just why Accrington Stanley is such a special little club. Credit to the club for their part in this. Sad times but it makes you proud to be a Stanley fan.
