Stan Bowles RIP Great character and very skilful player.. Won 1 or maybe 2 England caps under Don Revie Instead of being disciplined I'm sure one of his clubs sent him to play for Carlisle as a punishment. It was just far enough to get him away. I'm sure he said he enjoyed it. Chip off the old block.
Stan Bowles. R.I.P. Simply wonderful player and always looked as though he was enjoying it. A cheeky chappie in the same vein as Rodney Marsh and George Best. A pleasure to watch.
