I was born and raised on Memphis soccer, starting with the NASL Rogues and then to the Americans, but my favorite memory comes from a Memphis Storm game(circa 89-90) when Stan returned to Memphis on a visiting team. The Coliseum "MC" introduced Stan as a former Memphis American, but we knew that already. He took the field to a standing ovation of Memphians who never lost their love for him or his talent. The Magician!!!, You are not forgotten!!!

He inspired me to play, the Blast were the only professional soccer team in the area at that time, and was off the chart with skill even with todays standards.

I will always remember the game :Red Star Belgrade -Cosmos New York in Belgrade It was in early 80's. Pele was there and all the world Stars that Cosmos had at that times. Stan scored 4 goals in 6; 4 Red Star victory. What a player. For me one of the finest players for Red Star ever. Rest in peace Srbo.
