Accrington Stanley have lost one of their fans’ false teeth

How hard is it to hang on to a set of false teeth?

Who knew it was so tricky to hang on to false teeth?

One would have imagined that it would be harder to lose a set of false teeth than it would be to keep them but, apparently, that’s not the case.

One Accrington Stanley supporter is currently enjoying meals of mashed potato and yoghurt after losing his/her gnashers over the weekend.

The League One side took to Twitter on Saturday afternoon to let the fan know that the teeth were being kept safe and sound in the club’s office.

The story gets even stranger though because the false chompers have gone missing for the second time in as many days.

Speaking to BBC Radio Lancashire, Accrington Stanley’s managing director Dave Burgess revealed that the teeth were no longer in the office and that he didn’t have any idea where they’d gone.

“We don’t know where they are now to be honest,” Burgess said. “They have wandered off over the weekend somewhere.

“They are in and around the building somewhere. We do think they are safe, it’s just no-one has seen them this morning.”

When quizzed further on how the club managed to misplace the teeth, Burgess responded: “The same way the person did in the first place, I guess.”
