Stanton, Dave – Year of induction: 2005

A great British QB who had fantastic vision and was also cool under pressure. Stanton was a star QB of the Birmingham Bulls in the early 1980’s, leading the Bulls to the 1986 Summerbowl title. He also QB’d the Bulls in the first Eurobowl competition and picked up three caps for the GB Lions (1985 to 1987). With the influx of American QB’s to the game (Russ Jensen joined the Bulls in 1988), Stanton moved to the Redditch Arrows at the start of the 1989 season s Head Coach and Quarterback for the club. It is widely believed that this event turned out to be the most significant in the clubs history.  Dave's personality and style was perfect for the Arrows philosophy and attitude and it soon became apparent that it was a match made in heaven. Stanton continued to coach and play for the Arrows for 15 years, playing his final game for the club in August 2004.
