Biography
Patrick Gordon Stanton was born on 13 September 1944. He joined Hibs from Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic in 1963 and made his debut for the club against Motherwell in October that year. He quickly established himself in the first team, playing in defence or midfield. Stanton captained Hibs to their 1972 League Cup win and also led them in their centenary year.
In 1976 Stanton transferred to Jock Stein's Celtic in a swap deal that took Jackie McNamara, Sr. to Hibs. There he won the Scottish Cup and the Scottish league championship in 1977. Stanton suffered a bad injury early in the 1977–78 season, after which he retired from playing.
Stanton won 16 caps for Scotland between 1966 and 1974, captaining the side three times.
