Career highlights

Stanley James Spinks (16 October 1912 – 23 October 2003) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1930s. He played as both a centreman and wingman in his career.

Spinks finished second in the 1938 Brownlow Medal count, missing out by one vote to Dick Reynolds. He did, however, win that season's Hawthorn best and fairest, having won the award previously in 1932. In 1941 he quit the club after being dropped to the reserves side. He finished his career with Camberwell in the Victorian Football Association.
