Stan Bowles RIP

I think everyone knew about his fondness for the bookies when he was down in London. I had no idea whether he was at it when he was at City; he'd have been only around 20/21 at that time.

Rumours were he was knocking around with the quality street gang and a few more dodgy people as well.

Pity he left,another supremely talented player it was a joy to watch. Rest in peace Stan.
 
Saw his league debut Sheff U Maine Road sept 67. What I never realised was he scored 2 goals in a 4-0 league cup win in his first match on the Wednesday then 2 3 days later against Sheff U. And never scored again. Only played due to TC being injured shame really loved him and followed his progress especially at QPR where he replaced Rodney RIP
 
I'm mates with his son, and when we were kids we'd play with Stans England caps. We'd be chucking them against the door trying to get them on the hook. WTF!! He wasn't with his mum at that point but my pal had his caps under his bed. Will be worth a fortune now. What a lovely man he was. Loved betting(especially the greyhounds) more than footy tbh but he still held his love for City n QPR til the end. The only two teams he'd watch. RIP Stan. A true genius and a lovely human being.

Just told my lad exactly the same story. Stan would have been a world superstar if he'd been born 50 years later.
