Stan Lynn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stan Lynn (Born in Bolton on 18 June 1928) was a professional footballer of the 1950s, known for his "Booming Boots".
Stan Lynn was a tough-tackling right-back who was renowed for his powerful right footed shots. He started his career at Accrington Stanley in July 1947. He only played 25 league games for the club before Aston Villa stepped in with a £10,000 bid in March 1950.
He established himself in the Villa team in 1954, and was a regular fixture in the side until 1960. He helped Villa win their seventh FA Cup in 1957 and the Second Division Championship in 1960.
Playing against Sunderland in January 1958, Lynn became the first full-back to score a hat-trick in a top-flight match.
He transferred to Villa's arch-rivals Birmingham City in October 1961.
On retiring in 1968, he worked in the toolroom stores at Lucas in Birmingham.
