Philip Richard "Phil" Stant (born 13 October 1962) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker. A veteran of the Falklands War and formerly attached to the SAS, he entered professional football at the relatively late age of 24 but went on to score over 150 times in the Football League, most notably for Mansfield Town, Cardiff City and Lincoln City.
Following his retirement, he became a manager, taking charge of Lincoln before moving into non League with spells in charge of Gainsborough Trinity and Ilkeston Town.
Stant joined the army as a teenager and was billeted at Aldershot Garrison for his training and played for local non-League club Camberley Town. In 1982, at the age of just 18, Stant was sent to the Falkland Islands as part of operations of the Falklands War, serving with 5 Infantry Brigade as part of 81 Ordnance Coy. He was deployed to the South Pacific aboard the Queen Elizabeth 2, a journey that lasted three weeks and included stops in Sierra Leone and Ascension Island before arriving in the South Atlantic, landing on South Georgia.
