The son of a gap-toothed Man U player of some note, John Stiles had
a difficult path to follow, and his first steps in the professional
game came courtesy of another family connection, as uncle Johnny Giles
selected John while in charge at Shamrock Rovers. After a spell in the
NASL with Vancouver Whitecaps, Stiles joined Leeds in 1984, making his
debut the following year, but it wasn't until the 1986-87 season that
he made regular first-team starts, enjoying the best form of his
career. After that it was rather downhill, with injuries dogging his
career as he dropped down to play in the lower divisions. John Stiles
other claim to fame is that he was the first Leeds player who came on
as a substitute to be substituted himself.
Russell Edwards says: Hi John you may not know me but i am the
brother in law of Graham Long who is married to my sister Nicola. You
met them in Corfu on Holiday.Nicola is having a 40th bash tonight see
you there.
Big Billy says: Almost unbelieveable but true John Stiles is now a
professional comedian and actually did a gig at Elland Road
recently. He was one of the worst and certainly the weakest Leeds
player I've ever seen but his goal agin Wigan in the FA Cup
quarter-final in 1987 was fantastic!
