Career

Stanfield came to Vienna from the London Civil Service Club around mid-1904 and was accepted into the Vienna Cricket and Football Club , which had high hopes for him. The beginning of his football career in Vienna was promising. On September 25, 1904 at the opening of the new Cricketerplatz in Vorgartenstrasse, there was a 20: 1 victory against the Munich FV of 1896 . On October 9, 1904, he played his first game in for the Austrian national team, at that time still held as a city game between Vienna and Budapest. He was the outstanding man on the pitch and scored four goals, including a flawless hat trick from the 53rd to the 73rd minute, the first ever in an international football match. Thus Vienna won 5: 4 on Cricketerplatz in front of 2000 spectators.

The Neue Wiener Tagblatt admired the center forward in early December 1904 that "his ingenious and daring way of fighting almost inevitably leads to goals". "His perfect way of bringing the balls himself and with his people, his safe shooting and placing of the shot must be seen; he is up to any situation," was reported in the Allgemeine Sport-Zeitung in December .

He was also involved in the athletics department of the cricket team. On October 16, 1904, he ran in the relay race over 1500 meters together with Max Leuthe , who also played football for the cricket players, Robert Schöffthaler and Felix Kwieton on Kricketer-Platz a time of 4: 16-4 / 5, which was at the end of the year as the Austrian record in light athletics. At the beginning of June 1905 he became the athletic athlete Viennese champion over 400 meters on the Praterplatz with a new Austrian record of 56-1 / 5 seconds. He came third over 60 meters.

On April 9, 1905, he ran a second time for Austria against Hungary; This time the game ended 0-0 in front of 10,000 spectators in Budapest. On June 11, he lost in the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup with 2: 3 against the Vienna Sports Association , where he himself remained goalless.
