The line comes from a 1989 Milk Marketing Board television advert created to promote milk to children. It shows two boys in Liverpool kits chatting, ending with the famous exchange where one asks Accrington Stanley, who are they, and the other answers exactly. The advert became a cultural touchstone in Britain, revived Accrington Stanley's fame and is still sung as a chant by the club's supporters. Decades later the clip circulates online as a nostalgic football meme.
About this sound
The 'Accrington Stanley, who are they?' line from the famous 1989 British milk TV advert. A classic football quote fans replay as a funny meme sound effect.
Taken from the legendary British milk commercial, this short clip captures the playground exchange between two young Liverpool supporters. One boy boasts about his hero Ian Rush, only for his mate to ask what happens if he never scores again, prompting the deadpan reply about drinking milk and the immortal question Accrington Stanley, who are they. The Scouse accents, the innocent delivery and the abrupt punchline give it a warm nostalgic comedy that lands instantly, which is why football fans still quote it decades later.
