Great mullet at the end of that.

Never seen that before mate well done great find cheers mate!

That was riot day. A few Grimbo nobs uswed to go on the pitch at the end of the game, stand by the penno spot and taunt the away support. Against Shrewsbury it was safe because there about 200 away fans. They shouldn't have done it when there was 3,000 wild eyed pissed off Stokies. They had been chucking coins into the away fans all afternoon and when the police were told they just ignored it.

Deeply opposed as I am to vall violence, especially football violence, I still think it was a pisser seeing them run when the fence was torn down.

[onionman]

What a video. Tony Kelly and Tony Ellis up front. Derek Statham's defending for the first goal! Also, I don't remember Noel Blake being as bad as he was in that video. Maybe I was too young to understand.

Mickey Thomas knocking the coppers hat off at 08:57 ;D

[philb]

Bloody Hell! Pulis would have a connery over some of that defending!

You could just hear him couldn't you - "Stay on yer feet son, stay on yer feet!!!"

[onionman]

Cliff Carr forlorn with his hands on his knees as it dawns on him he's given their right winger freedom of the city to score the second goal.

[Maccca100]

Joe I remember that day well as a young 14 year old being first on the pitch as the gates opened, being pushed on by some of the biggest men I have seen in my life, shitting myself, then being hit on the head by a Female PCs truncheon.

[JoeinOz]

I'm surprised it didn't get a bigger mention in the media.

[RAF]

I can't believe I came home on leave to watch that game. The only interesting thing of the day ws the pitch invasion and that was fairly scary.
Incidentally I came home on leave for exactly the same result against the same team in 2003 under Pulis. There was little difference between the two games apart from the pitch invasion if I'm honest.

Jesus.

Alan 'worlds most useless manager' Ball.

What an utter bag of cack he was.

Whatever people say about pulis pales into insignificance compared to that clown

Ball out!!!!

a very young (8 maybe) Stoke got trampled on by the hilarious Stoke fans during all that

morons the lot of them,they can fuck off

[bathstoke]

There are a lot of very amusing anicdotes about this day, not to mension an hilarious police vid of . It was all Grim, goading Stoke & Stoke did an amazing bit of flanking down the paddocks. Well worth watching, if you get the chance. Night,night...

[Kenilworth_Stokies]

It comes to something when Tony Ellis and Tony Kelly look like your most potent threats in a game. Dark times indeed. I can still hear my granddad moaning every time Blake hoofed it aimlessly out of defence. A truly woeful time to be a Stoke time, possibly only surpassed by the bleak time under Brian Little.

With a cracking Crouch-esque effort, it has to be said.


Great vid. Dreadful as we were then we still passed the ball round more than we do now.

Especially Noel Blake. His sliderule passes to the advertising hoardings on the roof were particularly pinpoint.

[JoeinOz]

Incidentally I came home on leave for exactly the same result against the same team in 2003 under Pulis

Was that the first game with id cards?

[Deleted]

Apart from the riot the only other thing that stood out was how shit we played that day.

Great following though, the "Alan Balls red and white army" in the first half was quality.

[JoeinOz]

Bally's Stoke got amazing support. Even in that relegation season, as we got closer to the drop the vocal support kept up.

[Deleted]

Joe you're spot on mate. The away support during 1990 was superb. There was real hope at the start of the 90/91 season too. Shame Bally fucked it up. Thank god Lou appeared the following year.

[barneyrebel]

I could write a book on the events of that day alone on what happened inside the ground and out , like many have said the support we used to take back then was fantastic, Hull, Mansfield, bradford etc not saying i opened the gates but was one of the first on the pitch, and for some reason some poor Grimsby lad who was taunting all match to our right in the seats with a white sweatshirt on got chased all over by stokies and finally got pinged, looking back now it was more like a scene from keystone cops, did fucking good chips in Cleethorpes though

Before you all get bloody PC on violence etc, i was 17 and easily lead

Could be Joe, it was either Norwich, Grimsby or Forest mate, I'm not too sure now.

[buddha]

was grimsby , 1st game with id cards .

[ichabodcheesecake]

Shocking day that was. I remember we were waiting for burgers before the game and the burger van was toppled over as the poor girl was serving us with her in it. Was mayhem from the minute we arrived in Grimsby.

I seem to remember a girl was the first to the fence after the game taunting us and one fella in a pink T shirt giving it loads until he realised the fences were coming down. He turned to leg it bet a load of Stoke fans had broken onto the pitch from behind him and he suddenly ran into a welcoming committee :-)

[Dutchpeter]

I remember there was a lad in a red England shirt in the Grimsby crowd. Never stopped taunting the Stoke fans during the game. Was spotted after the match outside... Well you know the rest

[ichabodcheesecake]

You forget how utterly shite our team was then. One fool on here the other day was saying how Sandford and Ware would get in the current side. It was desperate to watch in those days. Sandford wasn't a bad player but was easily turned at all but the rest were shocking.

The youth in the white top ;D

[northstaffycher]

Remember that day clearly. Ambushed outside by Grimsby and huge punch up in the street for ages. Ended up hoisted by my collar by a copper on horseback but managed to wriggle free and get to the game. Don't tell me mum!

[grimps]

Here is the Link for all of the aggro on the pitch
