Career
He also served Stoke City, Tranmere Rovers and Stockport County. A visit to his homeland saw him contract a tropical disease that hospitalised him and put him out of action for over a year. He returned to the first team for the final months of the 1953-1954 season that brought Wolves their first-ever league championship.
He remained in the starting team over the remainder of the decade, adding two further league titles, and becoming club captain in 1959 following the retirement of Billy Wright.
In Summer 1962 Stuart joined Stoke City for £8,000. He played 30 matches for Stoke in 1963-1964 as they consolidate their top-tier status.
He then had a brief spell in management as he became player-manager of non-league Worcester City in 1968, but left the club when he retired from playing in December 1971. After leaving the game, he ran a string of hairdressing salons around the Wolverhampton area.
Stuart died on 4 November 2014 in Wrexham, Wales aged 83 following a long illness.
