Boxing Day 1988. Seven years old and my first time on the Boothen End. 3-1 win over City. Because I was just a kid I'm not sure if I really knew what was going on so much. Still had those horrible fan cages up back then (this would have been a few months before Hillsborough). I do remember the blow up pink panthers and the bananas  One of my earliest memories of doing something where it was just me and my dad, so that stands out. |

Brighton Can't remember the actual date apart from it was about early in 1978/79 season. Remember Peter Ward playing for Brighton, being in the Boothen Paddock & the old Stoke End

Stoke City 0-0 Chelsea in the 1995/6 League Cup.
I didn't have any family who went to Stoke matches at the time (my mum's previous match had been vs Ajax about 20 years before). I remember asking her if she'd take us to a match - she always liked Stoke and Chelsea (having lived/worked nearby) and then Stoke drew Chelsea in the cup.
It felt like an intimidating atmosphere, but I don't know if that's because I was young and it was my first match. I remember Ruud Gullit and Dennis Wise, and Carruthers (I think) missing a sitter. I knew all the Stoke players names from inputting them on Amstrad CPC football manager games World Soccer League and Treble Champions. I think Stein was injured for Chelsea.
Stoke won the replay 1-0, when a mistake by Leslie Mark Hughes led to a goal for Paul Peschisolido.

It was 90-91 season with the old man, I actually cant remember the bloody game though! I think the bug it slowly grew on me rather than a direct bite!

Stoke v Vale September 1989, I’d just moved to the city that day as a student . Was a draw, 1 1 I think. Watched them regularly for 5-6 years then moved out of area and recently moved back up this way to Shropshire. My daughter is 7 and wants to start going to games so cheerfully bringing her to see the Villa game in a couple of weeks. Remember drinking in Stoke centre before games ( Grays Corner was a pub at the time I think] and buying the Oatcake there
