Interesting – Stan was my Uncle, married to my maternal Aunt Maisie, I remember him and his family going to Australia. They ended up living for many years in Perth He was a lovely man.
Hi Shirley. Thank you so much for posting about Stan, and welcome to these history pages about Liverpool F.C. and its players.
I have not made the profile page for Stan, but was wanting to ask if you know his correct birthdate, and maybe when he passed away?
Best regards,
Kjell
