Does not have to be a moment that touched every Stoke City fans life,ie promotion or wembley win.But something you expeirenced that no other Stokie has.
I will start,at Oldham Athletic away(around late 80's) we drew 2-2 and Simon Stainrod scored after we were 2-0 down(Kamara got the other).I was the first at the fence and he rubbed my head during the celebration.
Very obscure i know,but anyone else got any personal Stoke City moments.

No not really.
The closest thing to your celebration moment that I have is that I was one one who found Justin Rose's ball when he hit a wayward drive at the 2008 Open.

Having my teeth loosened at Birmingham.  Been hit with police baton ( same day). The sit in after the Sunderland loss.  Being 'in the back of dave's van' on many occasions. ;D The boothen at the FA cup game against Arsenal when the guy behind me said sorry just before pissing down my leg.  The lads trying to scale the fence to get to the players after the 0-6 loss at Swindon. ;D The lads trying to scale the fence after the 0-3 loss to Oxford ( same week). ;D 0-4 at Wigan. Got hit in the head from a rock outside the ground thrown by an 8 year old giving me the finger.  Been chased through Wolverhampton shops by the Subway Army.  Telford .......... Leeds fans in Hanley circa 1990-91.  Port Vale away in the derby. How they got so many in was a miracle. 185 detained after the Port Vale- Stoke match. "We'll see you up Burslem". And we did. Is it the Leopard pub?  Losing to Millwall midweek in the cup ( they were prem then) from an offside that even had the Millwall fans laughing. Frank McAvennie first game of the season attacking Chris Kamara's leg. The big ruckus at Euston when Leeds and Man City were also in town. Man on police horse hitting me with a truncheon at home. For no apparent reason. Now they are obscure. |

Turf Moor , early nineties , ithink it was the first or second game of the season . John Dreyer came from nowhere to equalise in about the fifth minute of injury time to finish off a dreary 1-1 draw . Muggleton had earlier saved a penno , right on half time . But Dreyers goal sent us into a proper mental , and can remember running and hanging onto a net that was there to segregate the fans . Brilliant

Slightly off track , but remember being on the dance floor in 'the place' and next thing Toddy Orlygsson was dancing right next to me . He was wearing a hideous suit , the sort of thing Barry veneson would of been proud of . Also I saw Frode Kippe { can't remember where } the night he scored a brilliant goal for us against Preston , and just said to him " nice goal mate " . ha ha how sad i am  |

Not magical but memory. Went to Stoke in 76 against Spurs, I was only 12 yrs old, my dad had broken his leg 2 months before and was on crutches still.
Has you faced the pitch we were in the left hand corner of the boothen, suddenly heard a bit of a ruckus behind us, soon died down.
Up came the chant 'You'll never take the boothen'.
So I knew what had happened, a few seconds later these two men came behind us, saying f@ckin c@nts and by the way they said it was obvious where they come from.
So I spent about an hour leaning on a barrier, with them nearly touching me the other side.
I did'nt know what to do, just wanted to shout Spurs fans but me dad would'nt of got out of the way.
One of'em still see is face, long, straggly hair.

2 obscure ones...
Prudhoes save vs Leicester, AWESOME,
Micky (Glynn or Thomas, can't remember which) beating his man on the wing, getting to the corner of the box to be met with the whole of the old boothen in voice with "SHOOT", and he did, nailed in off the underside of the crossbar at 300mph, just felt like he did exactly what he was asked to by the fans and THWACK!

Being 'in the back of dave's van' on many occasions. ;D I remember travelling to Burnden Park in the back of an old Escort van, decided on the morning to go the game (pay on the gate I remember). Possibly late 80's / early 90's. I've never been so uncomfortable in my life as you couldn't sit up properly so I had to lie down the whole way. Stood on the open terrace next to the Co-op it absolutely pissed it down, we won 1-0 (Gareth Evans on loan from Hibs - I think??) and possibly one of the best Delilah's after any game in the pouring rain. Happy days. |

And we were last off the pitch when the horses were running round, and it made the front page of the Sentinel |

My stag do 5 years ago and my best man planned wicked weekend including watching Watford v Stoke but cos of surprise and Stokes id card rule we had to sit in away end. So me and 7 mates (only me a Stokie) sat next to bunch of old Watford fans pissed as and loudly singing any songs I could teach them. We won 1-0 and as we left stadium were picked up in a stretch limo and taken to west-end of London , for a top night.

I have fond memories of Oldham away when Riki Daddason scored the winner late on. It was the day of the infamous Oldham race riots and was rowdy to say the least. Nick Hancock sat next to us if I remember rightly?!
Cambridge away old 2nd division. First away game possibly? People fainting left, right and centre! It was bloody hot mind especially in that tin shack they had running alongside one side of the pitch. Think Thorne or Cooke scored the winner.

Sitting in the Findus stand at Grimbsy watching the 4th round of the FA Cup in 87. Snow blew horizontally into our faces throughout the game.
George Berry blowing kisses to the Boothen every time we sang "Georgie, Georgie blow us a kiss"
Watching Jimmy Greenhoff going off injured in about 1972 & being annoyed as i thought he had been sent off.

Not so much about the team but a bloke standing up at Brighton when we were trying to stay in the championship that first year n singing "your going down with your pier!!" for about 5 mins before everyone stopped pissing themselves laughing n joined in.
I was probably 13 years old but still laugh about it today (7 years on)
I think we won 2-1.

Thumbing it to Pwelli (that place in Wales) for a pre season friendly only to find out when we got there that the last train back to Stoke was about 2 o clock in afternoon, in the days when Geoff Hurst was playing for us ,cause I can remember he gave us 10 bob and we spent the lot on Curly Wurlys, we had this vision that the chocolate would give us enough energy in case we had to thumb it back again, I think in the end we just jumped onto one of the coaches. Sir Stan shaking my hand outside the Vic and telling me to keep up the good work supporting Stoke,never washed my hand for about a fortnight after!! Mickey Thomas letting me back in the ground after I was kicked out against Everton, he let me in through the old players entrance at the Vic and back into the Paddock via the tunnel where the players used to run out, god, was I tempted to just run out onto the pitch, in fact, I should have done because by the time I,d got back to my place in the Boothen the old bill clocked me again and out I went again. Fk me theres loads of them coming back now, memories I mean, think I might put them into print ha ha

Hitching it from wolvo down to exeter and back for a pre season friendly, got a lift with a fella who had a massive bag of dutch skunk, obviously he couldn't do two things at once so i was 'rolling' all the way down. Sweet  Going luton away in 94/95 on last game of season and dossing down at cockney ted's, cracking night and a lovely sunny day for the match on the sunday. Falling asleep when i was pissed up away at sheffield united and virtually missing the whole game . |

I punched a police horse in the face at springfield park once... oh the memories I punched pottermus once. Preston at home a few years back and Bjarni scored a couple of mins before half time just as his stupid blue head was right in front of me. He turned round to celebrate so I plodded one on him. Ended up winning 2-1 with Preston getting a very late goal, and some bloke that had come with us was absolutely convinced that he'd won £500 from bookies from his bet. He was gloating how he'd got 50-1 with score and first goal scorer. Turns out that he'd got Gunnarson to score first! Although he might have stretched to getting us a pint...it was bloody hilarious! |

No I think it was promotion season , not sure if we didn't win 2-0. If I remember there was concrete terracing that we were all squashed into with a fence at the back after which was a grassy/gravel bank. Think Stoke fans broke through it behind the floodlight and everyone just meandered onto it and were causing tno problems.Eventually police herded us off and it got a bit precarious when they used the horse to nudge us along behind the floodlights which is where you came in with your attempt to knock out the horse.......pissing myself as I write this nearly 20 years on!!!!!!!1 |

Ha ha, due to the fact a couple of us decided to have a few jd's before the game and that a horse was snotting down my back when pushing us down the bank i just flipped, i turned and just lashed out at the first thing i saw which turned out to be a very long face!!! I sometimes wish i was caught just to see wot the charge would have been, then watch a magistrate keep a straight face.... not a long one....as he heard the evidence
