Thank you Liam Lawrence

[mark71]

It's a bit sad to see Lenny go, he's a firm favorite of mine and a great many Stoke supporters. Unfortunately Dog gate was the end of him.

Thanks for everything you've done for stoke city. you'll get a superb welcome whenever you return.

[bigb35]

a loyal servant; instrumental in promotion; best of luck for the future!

Now he is one player who got us promoted....we;ll miss him as a player tbh

[boneym]

Modern legend! Never forget him from the promotion year, was a real driving force, nothing was ever a lost cause for him that year, sprinting to take corners etc in the dying seconds of games and some massively important goals. Great player for the club.

[Nick1984]

Certainly won't be getting a bad reception from me next time he's down the Brit. One of the few Stoke players I've met, top bloke and our first ever Premiership scorer.

All the best.

[boothy]

Best of lucky Lenny. I hope you manage to get Pompey back in the prem like you got us promoted. Top championship player and he'll do brilliantly this season I'm sure. Cheers Lenny.

[bayernoatcake]

Has he gone?

[FullerMagic]

Has he definitely, definitely, definitely gone?

[ashbankultra]

Wish him all the best. Didnt stats (Opta?) put him as the best player in the league in our promotion year. Either whether he was playing well or badly - he always looked like he cared. Good luck Liam!

[fortressbritannia]

well said

those 15 goals and 15 asists will never be forgotten

as well as that goal against Hull which ensured our Top flight status

[Gary Hackett]

An absolute legend in my eyes and a thoroughly decent straight forward bloke too.

Will miss him.

[boothenender]

thanks for everything liam.
nice guy,good player and always gave 110%..
best of luck at your new club.
you are welcome to return to your home any time.
you will receive a warm welcome from all at stoke.
portsmouth have gained a very good player..

[arniepieinthesky]

Has this been confirmed yet?

[PoisonedDonkey]

Quite sad to see him go, his pass through to Fuller in our 2nd ever Premier League game which set up a great goal.

Thanks Lenny.

[DodgyDino]

Shame really if hes gone, Hes been a good servant to Stoke but we need to move on to bigger and better

[hitman]

sorry see the bloke go, but thanks for his efforts, and in all fairness how he as dropped into the championship and rory still plays premiership football is completly beyond me

[cliffo23]

Good luck to you Liam Lawrence and a big thankyou for all you have done for our club. Top player, a fans favourite and you will be welcomed back at stoke whenever you should return!

[ohmylord]

Hasn't he refused to go which is why the deal took so long today, if that is the case hope he gets on with the youth team

[lancer]

A modern day hero. Always did the job, and I will always be thankful to him. Best of luck, LL, may you live long and prosper.

[Jamo on the wing]

Top, top lad.

Liam provided some fantastic memories and should always be thought of with great fondness from all Stokies.

Probably my favourite memory was Coventry away when he scored the late winner. I was driving down the toll road with the lads when we saw Lenny driving back with his Dad.

We shouted his name to the rafters on the toll plaza and I think we thought we were all a touch mental - and he was right!

All the best Lenny, you've been a great player for Stoke and I don't use great lightly.

Good luck lad.

The goal against Hull was quality.

I know Kitson's gone but dont think Liam has.

Ricardo Fuller vs Bolton was out first ever Prem goal, Liam's penalty vs Villa was the first Prem goal at the Brit.

. Ric got our first against Bolton but like you say he's a top bloke and was fantastic in our promotion season and I wish him all the best.

[Inverness Stokie]

Thankyou Liam, you've been a cracking player for us, the goals and assists in our promotion season, the effort that you put in every week. You've been a terrific player.

All the best son.

[ravonrazor]

liam is a quality player, but im sure he will do well spitroasting the thai whores down in pompey

[Davef]

Farewell Liam and thanks for what you've done to help our club. You're a Stoke City hero, without a doubt.

Forget everything else, this was THE goal that won Stoke promotion!

[bayernoatcake]

Dorsett seems to think he has.

Good luck down there Liam. A fantastic player for us and a key player in our promotion and survival and that will never be forgotten! A legend in my eyes and I'm sad to see him go!

Good luck me owd!

I erased that game from my memory.

[sidger7]

Stoke City legend. Wish him all the best wherever he may go from here. Will always be welcomed back.
