Stats
Bio
A mature-age recruit from Swan Hill in Victoria's Mallee region, Stan Cooper was granted a brief trial at VFL level with St Kilda during the 1922 season. He made his debut as a 25-year-old in Round 3 against Essendon at the Junction Oval, joining a Saints lineup that struggled for consistency near the bottom of the ladder. Cooper retained his place for just one more match before losing his spot in the side, finishing his League career with two senior appearances and no goals. His short stint was typical of many country footballers of the era, who often ventured to the city for a short-term trial before returning to regional leagues.
