As Accrington Stanley prepare for their FA Cup third-round clash against Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, memories of the iconic 1989 milk advert have resurfaced.
The advert, which famously coined the line 'Accrington Stanley... who are they?' has become synonymous with the League Two club. However, behind the lighthearted commercial lies a more sinister story.
Commissioned by the Milk Marketing Board to promote the health benefits of milk, the advert became a pop-culture sensation. It featured two young boys, one of whom, played by Carl Rice, dons a Liverpool shirt and explains that Ian Rush told him drinking milk was the key to becoming a great footballer.
