Roger Edmund Philbert Stanislaus (born 2 November 1968) is an English former professional football left back, who made over 300 appearances in the Football League for Bury, Brentford and Leyton Orient.
A left back, Stanislaus joined First Division club Arsenal as a schoolboy and began an apprenticeship in 1985. He progressed sufficiently to sign his first professional contract in July 1986, but was released at the end of the 1986–87 season, without having made a first team appearance.
Stanislaus joined Third Division club Brentford on trial in September 1987 and impressed sufficiently to be awarded a permanent contract one month later. He quickly broke into the team and made 41 appearances and scored two goals during the 1987–88 season, which earned him a new two-year contract in April 1988. Stanislaus' "languid, yet hugely effective style" made him "a crowd favourite at left back". He had a memorable 1988–89 season, making a career-high 56 appearances and scoring two goals, one of which came with a 40-yard "screamer" in a 2–2 League Cup first round draw with Fulham early in the campaign. After a "not so impressive" 1989–90 season, Stanislaus elected to depart Griffin Park. He made 134 appearances and scored five goals during three seasons with the Bees.
During the 1990 off-season, Stanislaus joined Third Division club Bury for a £90,000 tribunal-fixed fee. He remained with the club for five seasons and made 216 appearances and scored seven goals. Stanislaus' performances during the 1993–94 season saw him named in the Third Division PFA Team of the Year.
