Stuart Edward Ripley, born November 20, 1967 in Middlesbrough, (then in North Yorkshire) is a retired English football player who made his name with Middlesbrough in the late 1980s before achieving success in a move to Blackburn Rovers by winning a Premiership medal in the 1994-95 season and becoming a cult hero. He later moved to finish his career at Southampton. Ripley was essentially a speedy winger who, earlier in his career, scored numerous goals. He won two caps for England.
After finishing his playing career, Ripley set up The Castleford Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, providing physiotherapy to nearby rugby league teams, as well as local football teams.
He graduated from the University of Central Lancashire in 2007 with a first class combined honours degree in Law and French.
