Following a fall resulting in complications Dad passed away peacefully at NSH early this morning. Dad was 92 and had been a Stokie since early 1930s when Sir Stan first played for Stoke. A season ticket holder for many years he introduced me to the Boothen End in 1963-64 and we attended matches home and away during the 1960s. Dad fought in Burma during WW2 and was a very proud independent man living in Stoke on Trent all his life. RIP Dad you will be greatly missed.

Almost a mirror of my own dad Lawrie who passed last year right down to the dates we went our first matches. My own dad was in North Africa during the war is the only difference. Sincere Condolences to you mate.

My grandad fought in Burma also. Wonder if they knew each other. Neil Franklin was the best player he ever saw by all accounts.
They can compare notes from the stand in the sky.
RIP to your dad and condolences to you and your family.

My condolences also. My father in law passed away last year aged 87. He fought in Malaya and was a huge Stoke supporter. Listening to him speak of the old Stoke teams, Franklin's name cropped up time and time again (and Stan's). It seems that quite a lot of the Pottery lads ended up fighting in the far east.
We are certainly losing a lot of the "old guard".
RIP
