❤️ Adam Stansfield: We will never let you go

Today, Tuesday, August 10 marks twelve years since the passing of our much-loved striker Adam Stansfield at just 31 years of age.

Stanno as he was affectionately known, played 160 games for City between 2006 and 2010, scoring 39 goals. He was an integral part of the team that led City from the Football Conference to League One and was adored by the supporters for his tireless energy, eye for goal and personality on and off the pitch.

 

 

To this day Stanno remains in the hearts of all Exeter City supporters and always will. He was loved and respected by everyone that knew him. A class act on the pitch and off it. 

To honour Stanno, the new grandstand at St James Park was fittingly named the 'Stagecoach Adam Stansfield Stand'. If you visit St James Park, or in the away stands when City are on the road you will always hear 'Sing a song for Stanno'.
