Bio
Hailing from Lockhart in the Riverina, Stan Livingstone arrived in the VFL as a raw big man, briefly turning out for Melbourne's reserves before transferring to Footscray midway through 1937. Standing 189cm, he served as a versatile key position player at the Western Oval, typically utilized as a key defender who could also pinch-hit in the ruck when required. His senior opportunities were sporadic, and after struggling to cement a permanent spot in the side over four seasons, he eventually departed the league to join Port Melbourne in the VFA in 1941. While his football career was brief, Livingstone later gained notoriety in his life as a grazier, becoming a central figure in the investigation into the mysterious 1952 disappearance of Margaret Clement—the "Lady of the Swamp"—from the Gippsland property he had purchased.
