ACCRINGTON legend Paul Mullin thanked Stanley’s fans for his big reception as he took to the field on his first return to the Crown Ground as a Morecambe player – but was still miserable about the result.

Mullin’s old club beat his new employers 3-2 in a thrilling Lancashire derby but Accrington’s record scorer was cheered from all corners of the Crown when he went on as a substitute.

“It was great,” he said. “You never know what sort of reception you will get but that was nice.

“And people had gone to a lot of effort with banners and the like and I would like to thank them for that.

“I still have a lot of fond feelings for Accrington and I hope they get into the play-offs – but I hope we are in there with them.

“It is a major disappointment to lose the game and the difference was the finishing.”
