As a 15 year old german I flew to London to see him play (March 1976 vs. Coventry 4:1) And whenever I did an Eintracht game in England in the 1970` I extended my trip to attend a QPR game. It was the best team in England that year.
Stan the man, woz in the Loft throughout the 70's, such a joy to see him play and had the honour of meeting him in Pitshanger Park and exchanging a few passes with him.
rip stan, always remember you in bookies at 1.45 on a saturday afternoon in sheffield, blades were playing qpr at 3pm stan didnt have a care in world.played well that day
Of all the "maverick" players of the 1970s, Sir Stanley was the only one you'd have rated an odds-on shot to spend half his life behind bars, had it not been for football. Collyhurst seemingly wasn't a great place to grow up in the 50s and 60s. Don Shanks and his other mates on the White City Estate more than likely came close to getting Sir Stanley banged-up on a few occasions. He was a genuinely great player though.
Banged up for what? But that Team that came 2nd behind Liverpool was a really good entertaining team..And I can remember My brother in Law ( A London Taxi Driver) & only a casual football fan,says to me night ( while I was visiting is house after work) had I heard of a former Q,P.R footballer & now a Cabbie ( who used to join him to eat ) called Mick Leach & I told him he was a Defender!

The greatest first touch I have ever seen. Absolute genius with a football.

Rest in Peace
Rangers could do with Stan the man now what a qpr legend
QPR certainly got the best side of the deal in the Marsh/Bowles saga!
1:08 "its the best side Manchester City ever had, and ever will have"
Our Stanley
STan The God Man
Stan played to enjoyed the game, money was just to have a little bet.
RIP
Waste of talent
Great football player but unprofessional and not the sharpest tool in the box. Met him many times
Yeah, so unprofessional. Cos that's what mattered. You are talking about the seventies mate. Different era. Didn't affect his ability did it.
Great player, this from a Stoke supporter. They just don't make em like that anymore.
Alan Hudson was also great to.
@@markpaulo269 indeed he was. He walked on water for Stoke.
