Biographical Text
Tiverton-born Stan Pope scored ten times in 26 games for Exeter City in the late 1930s before joining Torquay United.
After playing as an amateur with Tiverton, Stan joined Exeter City for the start of the 1936/37 season and played his first match, a friendly, for the reserves at Barnstaple Town.
He was called up into the first team for a 1-1 draw at Watford in November 1936 and went on to make 13 league outings that season scoring four goals; the first of which came in a 3-0 home win over Walsall in January 1937.
During October 1937 Stan scored five times in three games against Mansfield, Bristol Rovers and Northampton but featured less-often after the start of December and was allowed to leave St James' Park in the summer of 1938 to join Torquay United where he played 13 League matches without scoring.
