THERE'S been a baby boom at Accrington Stanley with four players due to be new dads within a week.

Chris Butler and Paul Cook have both welcomed the arrival of new sons in the last couple of days. And Ged Brannan and Andy Tretton are expecting new additions to their families within the next week.

"It is unusual that four of the players' partners are due to have a baby all within a week," said boss John Coleman. "We will have to be careful of sleepless nights."

Nine months ago, Accrington were celebrating a 2-1 win over Hereford live on Sky, halting a run of four games without a victory. Summer signing Tretton was on the Bulls side but Brannan, Cook and Butler all played their part.

The celebrations obviously went well.
