Stan Flashman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stanley Flashman (3 December 1936[1] – 21 December 1999) was a British ticket tout and football team chairman. He claimed he could obtain tickets for almost anything, from sports events to the Queen's Garden Parties at Buckingham Palace.[2]
He claimed he sold his first ticket for a game featuring Tottenham Hotspur in 1960. He was known as Fat Stan due to being overweight all his life and, by 1975, weighed over 19 stone. He became Britain's number one ticket tout.[3]
