"Stanley Smith, after successful work with the Wakefield Schools R.L. side, was a member of our own "Trinity Juniors." He signed for Trinity in 1954 and made his senior début in December of that year. In the following season he made 15 appearances and scored 8 tries, but then came a break in his career with a call for Military Service. He has helped Trinity’s senior side on many occasions since his return from the forces without being able to command a regular berth. It is, of course, with that in mind – that he and Chamberlain will have the chance of regular senior football – that these transfers have been made. Smith’s full record with Trinity is:- Appearances 59. Tries 39. Points 117." [1]
During the late 1920/30s there was a rugby league footballer who played for Wakefield Trinity, Leeds, England and Great Britain who was also called Stanley "Stan" Smith. These Stanley "Stan" Smith's are clearly not the same person, but as yet it is not known whether they are related.
