Biography


A centre-forward who was signed from Plymouth Argyle on 30th August 1950.

Christened Alfred, he was known as Stan. The Second World War cut into his career, having made his debut for Aberdeen in 1937-38 and also played for the Dons after the war before joining Plymouth at the start of season 1948-49.

Stan scored four goals in 35 league appearances for the Pilgrims prior to coming to Dens.

By then he was 31 and only scored three goals in 22 appearances in his first season, and two more the following season from his ten outings.

The last of his 32 appearances in which he totalled five goals was in a 3- 1 defeat at East Fife in March 1952 and he was released a few weeks later at the end of the season.
