Stan Foxall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joseph Stanley Foxall (born September 8, 1914 in Crowle, Lincolnshire, died August 12, 1991) was an English footballer who played as a forward for West Ham United before and during World War II.

Foxall had been playing football at Gainsborough Trinity, where he spent three seasons, before being signed by West Ham United in 1934.

He represented the London Combination against the Central League in November 1936.

Foxall could operate anywhere along the forward line, and was often moved from the right wing to a more central role, swapping with Sam Small, by Charlie Paynter. He was a member of the team that won the Football League War Cup in 1940.

Foxall made 156 war-time league and cup appearances for the East London club, scoring 963 goals. His career was cut short by a knee injury sustained in a game against Queens Park Rangers in September 1944.
