Philip "Phil" Stant (born 13 October 1962 in Bolton) was a professional footballer who played as a striker for Camberley, Reading, Hereford United, Notts County, Blackpool, Lincoln City, Huddersfield Town, Fulham, Mansfield Town, Cardiff City, Bury, Northampton Town, Brighton & Hove Albion, Worcester City, Dover Athletic & Hayes.

[edit] Post professional career

Following his departure from Brighton, Stant joined Worcester City^[1]. He enjoyed a fruitful spell with the club, scoring a hat-trick in the 4-2 victory over Tiverton Town on 20 October 2001^[2] and going on to notch a total of 12 goals in 23 appearances before moving on to Dover Athletic.^[3] After four appearanes for Dover, Stant moved on for a brief sojourn at Hayes which saw him make three appearances in a week long stay before finishing the season at Hinckley United^[4], linking up with one-time Notts County colleague Dean Thomas and scoring three times in eight appearances.^[5]

In July 2002, Stant moved back into management, being appointed player-manager at Gainsborough Trinity.^[6] Stant enjoyed a successful season at the Northolme, leading the club to the fifth round of the FA Trophy whilst securing a mid-table league finish and winning the Lincolnshire Senior County Cup, but resigned at the end of the season due to work commitments.^[7]

In October 2003, Stant returned to management with Ilkeston Town^[8]. He would steer Ilkeston to promotion to the Northern Premier League Premier Division in the 2004-2005 season but a disappointing start to their campaign at the higher level saw Stant resign from his post in September 2005.^[9]

Stant is a veteran of the Falklands War serving with 5 Infantry Brigade as part of 81 Ordnance Coy, and his experiences in the South Atlantic were the subject of a 2007 ITV documentary, "Falklands 25: A soldier's story".^[10] He supports Bolton Wanderers
