Isaac "Ike" Stanley (1861 – unknown) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Northwich Victoria and Stoke.[1]
Career
Brookes was born in Bilston and was a wicket-keeper for the Staffordshire County Cricket Club.[1] In 1891 Stoke were suffering from a goalkeeper crisis with both Bill Rowley and Wilf Merritt out with injuries and Brookes was signed by the club.[1] He did well as Stoke remained unbeaten and claimed the Football Alliance title and with it an instant return to the Football League.[1] He remained at Stoke but lost his place once Rowley had recovered and Brookes joined Northwich Victoria.[1]
