Loved Stan when he was playing, still remember the kippax singing' "Stanley Stanley where's your wife" and him just walking up and shrugging his shoulders, they don't make em like Stan anymore, mores the pity.
So sad to read about Stan's illness but at least he has got a very supportive family and hopefully some funds can be raised to help with his future care.
His league debut for City as an 18 year old was stunning, a 5-2 win at Maine Rd against Sheff Utd in 67/68 where Stan scored twice and from memory had a hand in at least one other goal. His talent and potential stood out even in that title-winning team, it was such a pity that he was so headstrong and didn't listen more to Joe Mercer's advice, we could have won more trophies in the 70s with Stan in a City shirt.
