Just routed out my Stoke " On this Day " book and thought I'd share the notable occasions of December 15th with you  Wednesday 15th December 1971 - With away goals not counting double, John Ritchie's 72nd-minute striker in the second leg at Upton Park appeared to have forced the League Cup semi-final against West Ham into a replay. The drama unfolded with only a couple of minutes left as Mike Pejic and Gordon Banks were involved in a mix up which resulted in the latter bringing down Harry Redknapp for a penalty. Geoff Hurst blasted the resultant spot-kick but the England man somehow got to it to force the replay. Wednesday 15th December 1982 - Mark Chamberlain made his England debut versus Luxembourg at Wembley Stadium, coming on as a substitute for Steve Coppell. The result was never in doubt and England won 9-0. Chamberlain got the sixth of the goals just minutes after coming on to the field. This was the last England goal to be scored by a Stoke City player. P.S. Chamberlain remains the last Stoke player to have a full cap for England doesn't he? ??? |
