Accrington Stanley

In a world of rip-off football owners, the Glazers and the Hicks who have loaded debt onto Man. Utd and Liverpool, now for the heartwarming story of Accrington Stanley.
Not the most fashionable club in the world I know. But they were going under until Ilyas Khan, an Accrington born and bred bloke stepped up and donated ?1.5 million to keep the club going.

Saw the interview on television in which he choked up with tears when he described how much the town of Accrington and its football club meant to him and had meant to his father.
I am sure every single poster on this forum will join me in agreeing what a wonderful example of multiculturalism this is!!!!
Cheers
