Totally agree with all the above especially CMG. He was a true Fulham Great.

One of my favourites from the 60's Stan Brown played in every position for us including in goal. A true utility player who would never let you down wherever he played. Condolences to his family and friends & RIP Stan Brown

Well said Andy, I would echo that.

He was before my time. He clearly has a place in the heart for many on here. Not sure this is the thread but would be interested to know if any of you could tell us a player in the modern era that resembled his play, just to give us an idea.

Clearly, the club will do something to remember him. I far prefer a minutes applause in these types of situations.

Play anywhere, that was Stan such a sad loss. RIP

RIP Stan, a Fulham man through and through.
Watching the ups and downs since 1958, wouldn't have it any other way, what a roller coaster of a club.

What sad sad news, and deepest condolences to Stan's family and close friends.

A real Fulham stalwart held in such high esteem by those of us lucky enough to witness his strenuous efforts on behalf of our beloved club.

Stan features heavily in one of my very special Fulham memories.
Back in 62 we were down among the strugglers again when the millionaires of Everton came to town. The Maestro had just broken his leg and this was our first home game without him with league leaders Everton heavy favourites.
They hadn't allowed for Fulhamish and the 33,000 voices roaring them on, enter the inventor of the long throw Jim Langley and a flick on found dear Stan rushing in at the far post to put us into a lead we didn't relinquish.
A thirteen  year old Fernhurst was so so happy and happier still 40 odd years later when I was privileged to shake Stan's hand at the unveiling of The Maestros statue.

Believe it or not I have a recording of the highlights of that game never ever published anywhere else.

Rest in Peace Stan, the Fulham Family are all thinking of you.
The atmosphere's fresh and the debate lively.

Very sad news. Fulham through and through

I started going to watch Fulham in his final couple of seasons. It's a sad moment when your boyhood heroes pass on. You want them to live forever.
My condolences to his family, friends and those on here who watched the teams he was part of.

RIP Stan. A real Fulham man .

Surely the observation that Johnny Haynes himself made of Stan Brown stands as the ultimate epitaph;

"Stan Brown is the kind of player you only notice when he is not playing....."

Such was his effect on a game. Not flashy, totally reliable, in fact the ultimate professional.

RIP Stan. Those of us who had the privilege of seeing you plying your craft will never forget you.

A real loyal club man, and a players player if ever there was one. I always remember his winner in our 1 0 win v the millionaire club Everton in the sixties when he scored from a corner at the Putney end. Top man, RIP Stan, never forgotten. ⚽️⚽️

Me to Woolly.

Nothing would give me greater pleasure to give access to The Fulham Family to footage of our team never seen before, however there is a very good reason why it is not possible. Will PM you to explain.
