I worked for and knew Greg Stanley long before he got Archer involved in fact the club held a promotion party, which I attended at his club The Blue Peter, after gaining promotion to the then 1st Div under Alan Mullery so your time scale is well out. Incidentally I didnt like him as a man then...
He has done well to secure that but I would have expected him to want to play more regularly, which hopefully will not be the case because others will be doing well and consequently he will not be needed very often.
