Milk? Ugh!
That specific quote is the M.O.R.E., not Accrington Stanley itself.
ETA: sees Wash’s post
Holy shit!
And what’s more, JC also opened the batting for Mercia -v- Old Caesarians in the very first test match played in 59AD at Stonehenge
He scored 209 before being caught in the slips by W.J.C.D.S. Albertus.
He was a very fine spin bowler and in the same match took 7/81.
On retirement he returned to his homeland and began a more or less wandering nomadic lifestyle before being arrested on some trumped up charge of spreading sedition.
He was put to death on Golgotha and a bloke who played against him in the first test (and was bowled for a duck) was still miffed so he stuck a spear in his side.
Not a lot of people know that either
Heresy! Jesus was a wicket-keeper.
I think you’re confusing JC with Joshua who was indeed a very fine wicket keeper until his untimely demise when crossing the Jordan.
He did not live to a ripe old age as most people think
Yes I remember, that was after the controversial 80-shekel transfer from Nazareth Athletic.
ETA: Or was that 30 pieces of silver?
ETA2: No, I think that was when he was transferred to Pharisees United.

While you’re throwing out things you invented don’t forget Rugby.
And hockey, baseball, water polo, tennis…
The English did NOT invent baseball. They simply invented it’s predecessor.
Huh, I figured tennis was a French invention and I assumed Hokey was invented on this side of the pond. I haven’t had time to read the baseball origin but I always thought that was a USA thing.
Yeah, in your face Yanks:D
Wasn’t Nazareth Athletic kicked out of the league for offering bungs to a guy named Judas who at the time was playing GK for Canaan County?
Oredigger : We also invented Cokey to go with the Hokey
But you didn’t invent the Pokey and that’s the only thing that really goes with the Hokey.
You’ve obviously never heard of “Oh hokey hokey cokey” have you?
That and gung ho pilots is what won the Battle of Britain matey.
With a bit of help from Vera and Gracie of course
Ice hockey was invented in Canada, but not hockey.
According to Stephen J. Gould, the only thing we really know for sure about the genesis of baseball is that it had absolutely nothing to do with Abner Doubleday or Cooperstown.
I thought you wanted Land of Hope and Glory. Make your mind up, man.
