Anyone ever been genuinely upset by a player snubbing us? I have to admit at the time Darren Bent really got on my tits but I think the one who really bothered me at the time was Rob Hulse as I actually thought we were trying to turn the corner and bring in some quality. Obviously Remy as well and also I remember Chris Sedgwick choosing to go to PNE instead of us saying they were more ambitious and I think Clint Hill had a swipe at him if I remember right?? Bloody hell how far we've come!!

Not a player and not disappointed as such, as I don't think he'd have done any good but the Burley empty chair conference was a real low.
The snubbing aficionados snub that was.

Loic Remy stands out for me - the potential Shaqiri before there was Shaqiri! ;-)
Damien Francis choosing Norwich over us at the last minute also hurt at the time.

Darren Bent all over Twitter, I want to go to Blunderland..... Err I mean Sunderland I think he actually said "I wouldn't want to go to Stoke" or words to that effect. He's a semi footballer now so I hope he's happy. Sent from my GT-I8190N using proboards |

I think the most significant one since I have been a supporter is Peter Osgood
The missing piece in the jigsaw after Big John broke his leg
I still dream about
Shilton
Marsh
Pejic
Mahoney
Smith
Dodd
Robertson
Greenhoff
Osgood
Hudson
Salmons
Dream Team!

Who was that shithouse who snubbed us and chose Bristol City before Megson was appointed? Don't think it got to the empty chair stage, he just told us to fuck off! Anyway, Burley's cowardice led just one day later to the beginning of the period all Stoke fans know affectionately as the glory years. Surely all Stoke fans can get behind that? |

Did Lee Trundle ever actually snub us or just the Trentham branch of Austerberry's?

Christian Lell, the Bayern Munich left back who faked his own death* after Stoke had a bid accepted for him in 2008, has played 26 games in 2 seasons for Levante.

Peter Osgood
Sat behind him in the butler street stand think we beat sourhampton 4-1 .
Hudson played and osgood saw his mate and potential employer on fire he had a sheepskin coat on why the butler street God only knows
If he had signed no doubt we would have won the league that year is a widely held view and been former champions now .
As it was he went on to sign for Southampton and snubbed us

Numerous centre halves in the late eighties when Mick Mills was struggling to replace Steve Bould.
Kevin Moran, & Phil Babb were the targets......we got Mark Higgins.
