Biography

M Stan Crowther | ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ | #454 |

Player #454 for Aston Villa, Stanley Crowther, known as Stan Crowther, played as a midfielder for the club in the wing half position.

Stan played for Villa in 1956-57 and 1957-58 making 62 appearances and scoring 4 goals.

Stan was born in Bilston, just 11 miles from Villa Park, on 3 September 1935 and made his debut appearance for Villa on Saturday, 29 September 1956 aged 21.

Villa had signed Stan from Bilston Town for a fee of ยฃ750 in August 1955.

During his short time with Villa Stan won the 1957 FA Cup with the victorious 1956-57 FA Cup campaign including the 2-1 triumph over Manchester United in the final held at Wembley Stadium in front of a crowd of 99,225 when Peter McParland scored twice to win Villa the Cup for a record seventh time.

Disappointingly however Stan was to leave the Villa for Manchester United as they went on a hiring spree following the Munich air disaster that decimated the United squad with Stan being signed just hours before his new team - and he - were due to kick off against Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup.

Stan played his final game for Villa on Saturday, 8 February 1958 aged just 22 before United paid ยฃ18,000 for his services, a tidy profit after just 3 years with the club and a ยฃ750 investment but it was no coincidence that the following season, a below strength Villa squad was relegated.

For Stan the immediate future was also uncertain. Despite Manchester Unitedโ€™s large outlay he was soon on the move again, this time to Chelsea in December 1958 for ยฃ10,000 where we remained for 3 seasons without making a great impact.

Whilst Villa returned to the top flight and new boss Joe Mercer bled a new raft of youngsters into the Villa team, Stanโ€™s career became nomadic and he quit the game in 1962 still only 27 allegedly disillusioned with life was a footballer.

An unnecessary waste yet had Stan remained with Villa, Vic Crowe would not have had his second chance and the club would have lost a true legend, both as a player and a manager, that Stanโ€™s rival became.

Stan had played his Villa career under manager Eric Houghton.

Stan passed away in Wolverhampton on 28 May 2014 aged 78.
