Accrington Stanley is a football club from Accrington in Lancashire, in the north-west of England, formed in 1968. The previous club of the same name played in The Football League from 1921 until 1962, when they became only the second club ever to resign from the Football League in mid-season. The town regained a club with league status after 44 years, when they were promoted as champions of the Nationwide Conference on 15 April 2006 [1]. One of the clubs relegated from League Two was Oxford United, the team that was elected to replace Stanley as members of the Football League in 1962.

They are not to be confused with Accrington F.C., who were one of the original twelve founder members of the Football League. The team's name is often invoked as a symbol of British sport's legion of plucky but hopeless causes (much like British ski-jumping's 'heroic failure' Eddie 'the Eagle' Edwards). They have been tagged as perennial underdogs in British folklore. Accrington Football Club were one of the founder members of the Football League in England. ...

Original club

The first Accrington Stanley club was formed in 1891 as Stanley Villa and adopted the Accrington name in 1893. The club re-formed after World War I and entered the League in 1921 with the formation of the old Third Division North, along with the other top Northern non-League clubs. In four decades of league football they never achieved promotion from the Third Division. The driving force was Sam Pilkington who helped to secure Peel Park, their original ground. Their best-ever league position was 2nd in that division, in the 1954-55 season and again in 1957-58. Unfortunately, only the top club was promoted at the time, so they never had the chance to compete in Division Two.

From 1892 until 1992, the Football League Second Division was the second highest division overall in English football. ...

In 1960, amid persistent financial difficulties, The 'Owd Reds were relegated to the recently formed Division Four. However, they only managed to complete one full season in this division: bankruptcy followed shortly afterwards. On 12 February 1962 Edwin Slinger, the chairman, resigned and revealed that Stanley owed up to £4,000 in unpaid transfer fees and a similar sum to the Inland Revenue. Pilkington, as life vice president, brought in Bob Lord, who persuaded the rest of the board to resign by promising to buy shares, despite his chairmanship of nearby Burnley F.C. Stanley lost their last League match 4-0 away at Crewe on 2 March 1962 and, at a creditors' meeting shortly afterwards, a further £40,000 of unsecured creditors was revealed. A further amount of £458 owed for National Insurance was enough for Lord and Pilkington to decide to draw the line. The club sent a letter of resignation to the Football League even though none of the creditors was threatening to "pull the plug". The resignation was accepted by Alan Hardaker, the League Secretary on 11 March, mid-way through the 1961/62 season. The Football League Fourth Division or Division Four of The Football League was the fourth-highest division in the English football league system from the 1958-59 season until the creation of the FA Premier League prior to the 1992-93 season. ...

The role of Bob Lord in refusing, in his capacity as administrator of the bankrupt club, to accept a bailout offer that would have permitted his close competitor to remain afloat is still not forgiven by some.

Revival

In a meeting in the town library in October 1968 the revival was started and in August 1970 the new club played at a new ground, The Crown Ground. The 'new' club are seen to hold both the legacy of both Accrington F.C. and the old defunct Accrington Stanley. Since the revival, Stanley have clawed their way back up the non-League scene to reach league football. Eric Whalley, a local businessman, took control of the club in 1995 and started the development of the ground, now renamed The Fraser Eagle Stadium. After the club was relegated in 1999, Whalley appointed John Coleman as manager. In 2003, Stanley advanced to the Nationwide Conference, which is the highest level of football outside The Football League (ironically switching places with relegated Oxford United- the team that replaced them in the Football League in 1962). Each season, the winner of the Conference and the winner of playoffs between the next four top teams in the Conference replace the bottom two teams in The Football League.

The club's recent rise to the Conference level, and eventually to the League, is attributed in part to the windfall of hundreds of thousands of pounds reaped by the sell-on clause in the December 2001 transfer of former Stanley star Brett Ormerod to Southampton, which paid Blackpool over a million pounds for his contract. Stanley had taken £50,000 from Blackpool in 1997 with the agreement that Blackpool would pay Accrington a quarter of what they might have received if they in turn transferred Ormerod to another team. The 2002-2003 championship of the Northern Premier League followed quickly on Accrington's getting the cash.

On 21 August 2006, Accrington Stanley won their first ever Carling Cup game against two times European Champions Nottingham Forest, with Paul Mullin scoring the only goal of the game on 61 minutes. Easily the club's finest victory in its history, despite Forest putting on a below-par performance whilst resting some of their key players, set up a clash with Premiership new boys Watford at Vicarage Road, which the team were unlucky to lose 6-5 in a sudden-death penalty shoot-out.

Origin of name

The original town team, Accrington FC were amongst the twelve founder members of the Football League in 1888, before resigning from the league after just five years. An existing team already existed at that time called Stanley Villa, named as such because they were based at the Stanley Arms on Stanley Street in the town. With the demise of Accrington FC, Stanley Villa took the town name to become Accrington Stanley.

Stanley are currently pushing for fans in the Asian, mainly Chinese market (similar to Manchester United) for revenue, calling themselves "the world's most famous little club" - as quoted in The Sunday Times, 14 January 2007.^{[citation needed]} Manchester Uniteds emblem Manchester United F.C.
