John Stansmore had been a successful forward with his home town club Kettering before signing tor City. He started well, scoring on his debut, but James Mcintyre was looking for a higher scoring centre forward. He found Jimmy Loughlin and Stansmore moved to inside right to replace the injured Alf Widdowson. With both Loughlin and Widdowson fit, Starsmore was dropped and moved back to Kettering. His career was revived at Swin-don, scoring 16 goals in 71 games.
