HAVING recently discovered an African sister club going by the same name, Accrington Stanley Football Club have now provided them with official club kit. The club from Freetown in Sierra Leone had been playing in borrowed strips and when Stanley officials heard of their plight, they felt compelled to help. Stanley managing director David Burgess and kitman Naz Ali spent some time searching storage and found two complete strips – one in Accy’s trademark red and an away kit in royal blue – as well as a full box of high-quality boots that have all now been sent to Sierra Leone.
