    1968 was the speedy winger's 'standout' year, topped
    the try-scoring count in First Grade.

    I have a short poem and signature from Stan, Billy Smith, Graham Langlands and a few other from 09/1968. An afternoon at the Sylvania Waters Hotel.

    Stan had absolutely magnificent handwriting but I never knew he was a fellow NQ

    One of my all time favourite Dragons along johnny Raper, Reg Gasnier & Billy Smith. Stan brought the crowd to their with every touch of the ball, what a great winger.

    Stan was my Flight Commander in the air cadets at Cairns airport in 1965... I remember everyone was so proud of him when he was picked for St George in Sydney... I remember going on bivouac with Stan to Garbutt RAAF base in Townsville .... He was a great bloke and always had encouraging words for the young cadets.... Good on yer Stan

    I remember Stan Gorton the year after he left Saints. He was playing A Grade for Milperra Colts in the Canterbury Bankstown juniors. Big man for a winger.

    He was so quick, he rarely had to wash his kit

    I remember fondly that after he was tackled Stan would pull a comb out of his socks and brush his hair back. Despite playing with legendary players Stan was a fan favourite. A true character of the game

    I had the honour of getting to know Stan when he lived near Millmerran in Southern Qld … he was a great bloke and a loyal friend.
