Born in Peterhead , Aberdeenshire but as mum from campbell Road ST4 I'm proud to have spent most of my life here. Always deny being Scots or English and only own up to being a Stokie!

Born and bred North London boy , no family or connections to Stoke apart from a love of the team . All down to being a goalkeeper from a very young age , my hero Bank's ,so my team Stoke ,I can thank "that" save against Pele , for 40 years of Stoke being so very important to me . Used paper round money to travel up alone to go to the old Vic as a young teen , also went to the evening London area games around the age of 14/15 all on my todd . Needless to say long term season ticket holder on reaching adulthood. Have to admit it does sting ,the cockney , this and that comments on here occasionally ( although North London is about as Cockney as Stoke is to being a from Wolverhampton ) But at least my kids ( also season ticket holders) get to say because my Dad does ,When they're asked the question .

Enjoy pbrmeasap! My first game was at The Brit last September. Stoke 1 - Man U 1. I was born and still live in Sydney, Australia. That game was awesome. The atmosphere was unbelievable and so exciting that I want to do it again.

Was born in Berlin. (Father in the forces) Never lived in Stoke but the old man was born and bred here and took me to a few matches when I was a lad. That was it. The spell had been cast.

Born in Crwho. My Dad and my uncle are Stokies and took me to my first game when I was four against Charlton at the Vic, which we won 3-2. Pesch scored and became my first Stoke hero.
My Dad later moved to Manchester, so I spent a lot of my early teens 'growing up' there, then moved to Sheffield for Uni.
Stoke and Manchester are my two favourite places in the world. No contest.

Ball Green, then Talke, left when I was 18 and never came back, that was 24 years ago so i've now lived away more than i lived in Stoke. Couldn't come back now as it doesn't have a beach and i've got used to living by one.

Family come from Newham, did a "Hornby in reverse", pestered to go to football at an early age, West Ham playing away so my uncle took me to Highbury, felt sorry for the losing team (Stoke), supported ever since, 50 in a couple of years. Went 2 Loughborough University for great educational reasons (closest place to Stoke that would accept me) Live near South Coast, Stoke are my team, always will be. Ironic that Newham now wants to come to Stoke, if they had done that 44 years ago, my life would be so much easier
