Bio
A diminutive rover standing just 165cm, Stan Attenborough was a wartime recruit who joined North Melbourne from the Latrobe Valley side Yallourn. Born in Western Australia but established in Gippsland, he was brought into the VFL system during the height of the Second World War, a period when league lists were severely depleted by military enlistments. He managed eight senior appearances across the 1943 and 1944 seasons, struggling to secure a regular spot in the side before departing Arden Street. Attenborough returned to the Gippsland region shortly after his VFL stint, where he found immediate success at the local level, winning the 1945 Best and Fairest award for the Morwell Wartime Football Club.
