Matthew Etherington. One of my favourite players ever to play for the Club.

A hero. I'm glad Hughes gave him the chance to say goodbye on a day like this.

Goes with my utmost respect, dragged himself back from the brink and has more than repayed us for helping him to do so, hopefully he can have a steady season in the Championship or maybe even one last payday in the MLS, it's the least he deserves.

I rewatched the Bolton semi final the other day and it reminded me of just what a fantastic player he was for us. Pace, unbelievable delivery and the potential to pop up with a goal or two.
He is a legend of Stoke's Premier League history, and he, along with others, namely Faye and Beattie, made sure we stayed in the league in our first season.
Thanks for everything Matty, it's been a pleasure.

 Perhaps Orlando City will want him, if they're still in the business of picking up former Stoke players. |

Thanks Matty you were superb for 2 seasons, you dropped off the last 3 years but you deserved at least 1 England cap when you were on form.

Good team player. He will be missed, but he will also be a barometer for what we should look for in character when going after wingers. Thanks for the memories matty. |

More than any of our team since being back at the top, Etherington deserved an England cap the most. One of the best crossers I have ever seen. And to think about all the personal problems he had. Yet he rose above them and performed magic for us. Thank you for everything Matty! Good luck in whatever you do in the future. You will be sorely missed.
