Terence James Stanley (born 2 January 1951) is an English former professional footballer who played as a midfielder or full back in the Football League for Brighton & Hove Albion.[1]

Life and career

Stanley was born in 1951 in Brighton, where he attended Coldean School and Westlain Grammar School.[2] He represented both town and county in schools football, and was on the books of West Ham United as a youngster.[3] He moved into adult football with Lewes, then playing in the Athenian League, from where he joined Football League Third Division club Brighton & Hove Albion. After playing for the Sussex team that lost in the final of the 1968–69 FA County Youth Cup, Stanley turned professional with Albion in November 1969.[2]

He made his first-team debut on 13 December in a goalless draw at home to Orient, and made another 6 league appearances in his first season. He never established himself in the side – of his 16 appearances in 1970–71, 6 were as a substitute – and he played only reserve-team football the following season before being released on a free transfer.[2]

He went on to play non-league football for clubs including Ramsgate Athletic, Horsham,[4] Lewes, Burgess Hill Town, Worthing, Steyning Town, Southwick and Peacehaven & Telscombe.[2] He also acted as caretaker manager of Lewes in 1978.[2]
