Accrington

Mr Hacking, from Accrington, Lancashire, who has an interest in World War Two militaria and re-enactment, said he would love to reunite Jean's family with the letter.

Friday's 3-2 victory over leaders Port Vale puts them four points behind Tranmere Rovers, who go to Barrow on Monday, and six adrift of Accrington Stanley, their next opponents.

While Accrington received a confidence boost by beating Salford on Friday, it was their first win in six, and Hughes is hoping his side can add more pressure on those above them with another win.

McElhenney was not holding back as he interrupted an interview with Mullin, first to congratulate the Liverpudlian on his March 2024 hat-trick against Accrington Stanley, and then to share the praise with the inevitable cameras.

So, since the turn of they year they have only won one game in four in all competitions - the FA Cup tie against Accrington.
