Some Famous People called Stan Steele
Stan Steele
Stanley Frederick Steele (5 January 1937 – 15 July 2005) was an English footballer. A half-back and inside-forward, he scored 97 goals in 370 league and cup games for Port Vale between 1955 and 1968. His parents named him Stanley Frederick in honour of Stanley Matthews and Freddie Steele.
He was prolific in his first spell at Port Vale between 1955 and 1961, and hit 66 goals in 185 league games, helping the "Valiants" to the Fourth Division title in 1958–59. He was sold to West Bromwich Albion in March 1961 for £10,000, but returned to Port Vale for the same fee four months later. He proved to be less prolific in his second spell at the club, and was given a free transfer in April 1965. He spent time in South Africa with Port Elizabeth City before a brief and unsuccessful third spell at Port Vale in January 1968. He later had spells with non-league outfits Eastwood, Armitage, and Great Haywood.
