The Internet knows all, and I am lazy... [Jun. 17th, 2009|09:20 pm]
Douglas Spencer
There's an advert for adverts on the telly just at the moment. It includes soundbites for a number of iconic adverts from the last thirty years, and we've identified all the adverts bar one -- the one right at the end of the sequence.

We can't recall which advert, for which product, features a boy's voice saying the words "Accrington Stanley".

Can anyone help?

That was milk. It was one of those "drink up your milk and you'll be able to play for a great football team that isn't Accrington Stanley" adverts.

I'll hunt round the Interwebs later and see if I can find it for you.

Yeah, I knew that. I even remember a chunk of the dialogue except it's missing the famous footballer's name.

"[name] says that if I don't drink enough milk then I'll only be good enough to play for Accrinton Stanley."

"Who are they?"

"Exactly!"

IIRC Accrington Stanley went on to sue the Milk Marketing Board for libel / defamation & ended up significantly richer, though possibly that was merely urban legend.
