Stuart Edward Ripley (born November 20, 1967 in Middlesbrough) is a retired English football player who made his name with Middlesbrough in the late 1980s before achieving success in a move to Blackburn Rovers by winning a Premiership medal in the 1994-95 season and becoming a cult hero. He later moved to finish his career at Southampton. Ripley was essentially a speedy winger who, earlier in his career, scored numerous goals. Ripley won two caps for England.
