Do it for my Dad, Notts Potter, 25 Apr 1942 - 7 Aug 2007.
In my eulogy at his funeral I said with him looking down on us, this season we would do it ...just his bloody luck!

For my grandad, a big Stokie who passed away on the morning of the 7-0 hammering by Birmingham, he'd be loving this.

I could fill a page. I'll just choose one great Stokie, my best mate since we were kids, Boothen Ender Bill. He died in 1996. I'll also add his wife, Jean, who died last week. She had to suffer his weekend moods when Stoke lost. Deeewit Pulis....deeewit! OS.

Do it for Grandad Peter, although not a big stoke fan, still always looked out for us. I will always remember you, and I hope you can see the smile on my face when we do it, I will be looking toward the sky giving you a big thumbs up.
Also do it for the Mckineys, One who passed away not long ago who was A MASSIVE stokie, and his brother still with us who surely will be dedicating this one to him!

Do it for my mum Enid, who passed away in 1994 and is the one person I really attribute my love of Stoke to. I always hold a tear back on the big occasions (1st match at the Brit, Millenium play-off final) when I think "I wish mum could see this" and I know it'll be the same come May 4th (God willing).
...And my uncle Dennis, who made up the trio of Hancock seats after '94. For a quiet man, he was very passionate once it came to kick-off but sadly, cancer took him the year before the Millenium adventure.

Shouldn't be all the way down where it was.
Needs pinning.
Not an easy reading, but a cracking topic. Far too many people get taken too young, dunner they ...
Hope everyone gets what they want, for whoever they wanted it for.
ah

My grandad, died the season that we were due to move to the Brit Stadium and so never got to see us play there. He used to take me to the matches at the Vic Ground and we'd sit in the stands because my dad wouldn't let me go in the boothen end as there was too much swearing and i was only a young'un. So come on lads, do it for my grandad, he'll be with us in spirit

Do it for my Grandad, Ray Flowers, who sadly passed away in 1984.
Grandad Ray used to run the Auto Club in Bentilee, and the Golden Lion in Biddulph as well as being a regular in the Winchester in Bentilee (lived on Dawlish Drive before upping sticks to Bidder)
Started to take me when I was 4, had a season ticket at 5 much to the dismay of my Dad, who was from Sunderland and a lifelong Mackem!
He would have been loving this now!
If anyone can remember the Golden Lion in Biddulph (shut in 1986), my Grandad had the whole front of the pub, pillars and all, painted red and white so it stood out like a beacon on the High Street of Biddulph!
And, although he wasn't a Stokie, my Dad, Trevor Robinson (who passed away in 2003), who became localised over the years (having been here since he was 16!) and always looked out for our results and wished us the best - probably because he had no choice :-)
He still maintained that I chose the wrong red and white stripes though...at least I wasn't a Newcastle fan Dad like Uncle Peter :-)
Dad used to work at Trentham Workshops for many years and some of you may remember him from there, or from working on the Railways after that, and at Asda before he fell ill.
They will all be shouting for us on Saturday, although I would prefer they blow an ill wind at the KC Stadium!
Do it Pulis, do it for all of them....

Gordon Martin & Derek Callaghan. Two lads who sat with my old man for donkeys years in the Butler Street Stand, Boothen Stand and latterly John Smiths Lower.
Ive never met two nicer men. Derek's son Andy posts on here, I hope he doesnt mind the small tribute.
Both were men of genuine integrity and real humour. Thankfully both wined and dined on tales of the 50s, 60s and 70s so they will have memories of their own.
I have wonderful memories of Boxing Day game at The Vic. I was a nipper and was dragged to the old bookies on Boothen Road (?) - a real small bookie's that resembled a front room. My old man and these two would pick horses at the big Kempton meet and we'd then go for a drink in Vic Hotel. We always nearly always won on Boxing Day!
My old man misses them both terribly, he has to sit next to my mum now. I know deep down he'd prefer these two cynical old buggers next to him. Pulis would have driven them bonkers. It would have been funny to watch/listen in the car home to strains of James Alexander Gordon and Peter Jones and Peter O'Sullivan.

Do it for Ray who sadly passed away last year after battling cancer.
Cracking bloke and one of the voices on the original "we'll be with you" song.
