It was a great season to follow The Potters,luckily i managed every game league and cup home and away.So many great moments to recall,big away followings,23 games unbeaten,Steino's bullet at Rotherham and Johnny Butler's Stanley Matthews run down the wing at Fail Park. My favorite moment though was Stigger's equaliser in the last minute at The Goldstone Ground to set a new club unbeaten run.

Blackpool away - pissed it down all game, but Stoke went top and stayed there, made it all worthwhile.

The week after beating Vale 2-1 we beat Burnley away 2-0. We played so well it was the point when we realised something very special was happening.

Orient away 0-1 end of our unbeaten run, the only away game I made that season as I'd just moved to Scotland. I was still a member of the Southern supporters club and went to their 25th anniversary dinner the night before which Lou and a few of the squad attended briefly. Gutted about the result the next day.

So many brilliant memories, too many to mention but if I have to choose it would be taking my sons to their first ever game and we drew 0-0 with Bolton. Ironically that was the first game on the start of our unbeaten 25 game run. At the time we were looking average after a couple of defeats. My sons then were 4 and 6.

Blackpool away. Going top and staying there. Piss wet through and singin in the rain. The fixture was played during the week where Blackpool shuts down after the lights before re opening for Christmas. Everywhere shut and boarded up, we wandered round a few back street boozers trying to find everyone (few mobiles them days ). Glanced down a side road to see two police horses standing outside a small doorway which was always a sign Stokies were around !! As we drew closer we could hear the chanting from within. Some downstairs bar rammed full of Stokies, brilliant atmosphere, great game and the start of it all for that season. Magic.

That was my first season as a Stokie. Went the Orient match at home and Steino got two right at the end. Remember one of them being a tap in following a sensational volley from Carl Beeston from miles out that came back off the bar to the Golden One. That was it for me, I was hooked from there on in.

So many ace memories. Piss wet through at Blackpool and running from open end behind goal acoss the corner of the pitch into the paddock.
West Brom at home 4-3 Brilliant game.
Chanting "10 points clear" at Vagrants at end of 2-0 win at Vile park
2-1 win at West Brom.7,500 Stokies in away end.
On the pitch after the Plymouth home game that secured us promotion.
Bolton away and having an ace mental when Bolton scored cuz it virtually condemned the Vale to the play offs.

West Brom at home 4-3 Brilliant game. Probably the best end to end game I've ever been to.

That Carling Strip. Still one of the best. And the away one. That was the year after. . yep, that season was the Thick Red & White with black patches on arms, Ansells sponsor, matchwinner made it. and the infamous purple haze away top! ;D bought them both off ebay in the last 18 months, wear them to games now. i wont wear any post 96 stoke shirt, once you get to a certain age, i find the only acceptable shirts to wear are the retro ones.

"ten points clear" - Extended highlights of the second Potteries derby league game at Vale Park
Good interviews from Lou Macari and John Rudge at the end, as well as some funny analysis from the great Jimmy Greaves

Best ever time for me; that and start of following season. Better than today's plasic product and merc players who frankly don't give a flying compared to these lads; there was a great connection between the lads and the fans then. Now it's just a business!
Plus I loved the Macari, up & at 'em way. It's no secret I'm no fan of the boring, passing for passing's sake that we play now. Give me the classic, English way of playing any day of the week.
Of course, it wasn't long after that we had to endure the short but gruelling Jordan era. If folk didn't like Pulis football, then they wouldn't have enjoyed that either.
There was a 92/93 season review on VHS; Here's hoping that it comes to Youtube one day

That Carling Strip. Still one of the best. And the away one. THE best, for me, if you're meaning the Ansells home one. The following season's Carling home one was a real dud for me but the away one was excellent
Wish I could still fit in it, mind

I very much liked the all dark purple/blue one the following season - looks great on the Forest clip here. The whole strip looks great! Wasn't so keen on that season's home one though, it looked VERY basic compared to the Ansells one. It was really cheap & nasty looking.
