Stan Nicholson is a former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. He played at club level for Featherstone Rovers (Heritage № 404).
Nicholson made his début for Featherstone Rovers on Saturday 4 April 1959,[1] he appears to have scored no drop-goals (or field-goals as they are currently known in Australasia), but prior to the 1974–75 season all goals, whether; conversions, penalties, or drop-goals, scored 2-points, consequently prior to this date drop-goals were often not explicitly documented, therefore '0' drop-goals may indicate drop-goals not recorded, rather than no drop-goals scored.
Nicholson was a reserve to travel in Featherstone Rovers' 17-12 victory over Barrow in the 1966–67 Challenge Cup Final during the 1966–67 season at Wembley Stadium, London on Saturday 13 May 1967, in front of a crowd of 76,290.
Nicholson's benefit season at Featherstone Rovers took place during the 1969–70 season.
Stan Nicholson is the uncle of the rugby league footballer who played in the 1980s for Featherstone Rovers (Heritage № 595); Tony Nicholson.
