    He only played 116 times for us, scored 15 goals but I thought he was utterly magnificent. One of my all time favourite players(im 20), I remember I had Big Stan on the back of my top with his number and my sister had Wee Stan on hers with Petrovs :56::52:

    I liked him more than any other defender as he was class in the air and class on the deck. His long passing was the best ive seen from a defender for Celtic too(including Mulgrew) he used to send Thompson down the wing inch perfectly or straight onto the head of Hartson or Sutton.

    His best games were probably against the huns, he was always immense against them like the game at Ibrox he played beside Sutton and kept a clean-sheet and they were phenominal.

    Just looked and his record was 9 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses against the huns. :notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy:notworthy

    Was sad the way he left out the back door under Starchan, he seemed to blame Varga for his first two games although I cant remind them to see if he was to blame.

    People class Paul Elliot as a legend and he played for only 2 seasons though.

    He was a legend to me anyway :notworthy

    I think its even stretching it to call him a good player tbh.
    He played a big part in the artmedia fiasco.
    Big joos was my favourite MON centre half.

    Nah, not a legend. The best passing I ever seen from a defender was Alan Stubbs.

    Not a legend but a smashing player.

    He was always one of my favourites in the era he played.

    Always remember him coming out of the tunnel for a particular game and though....."* me, when did big stan shave his lovely locks?"...........only to realise it was Stephen McManus making his debut....two of their were like dopplegangers.

    Why is it stretching it to even call him a good player, he was excellent.

    Calm, great positional play, the best passer and best in the air of any Celtic defender I can remember. I thought he was better than Bobo, Mjallby or Joos.

    2003/04 was imo the best season we've had in the last 20 years and only Petrov and Henrik played more games than Big Stan that season, he was one of our best players too. Played every match of the hun whitewash that season and both Barcelona games, at the Nou Camp everyone said Marshall and Kennedy were brilliant, they were but Varga was super-brilliant :56:

    No way he's a legend.

    Would be great to have a centre-back like him now though, a player like him would cost a few bob.

    Think its fair to say he was more than a good, player not a legend. He was at fault for artmedia but no solely.
    Big joos had his moments though lol Mjallby was the man imo
