R I P Stanley
Stan was a maverick and a very gifted footballer.
He would often ask fans what horse won a race that he had a bet on while taking a corner at Loftus Road.
He was asked to write a book on his life and told he would get half his fee upfront and the other half when it was finished.
The publisher wanted not just the football side but his off field antics i e the drinking,gambling and ladies.
He soon spent the money he had been given and asked for a sub from the other half of the money, the publishers asked "where has the money we gave you gone"? to which Stanley replied "have you read any of the book"? .
