Still one of my fave chants....nothing more to add other than Dunkirk is a fucking good film. Told this story before so the short version as a young 8 year old mascot met an old man in the bowels of the box who asked me who was the best stoke player I'd heard of. So in my years of innocence I replied to the great sir Stan "Ooooooh Georgie Berry" god I was a moron as a kid 🤦🏻♂️😂 |

I've said it before on here but the rapport between George berry and the stoke crowd was just one of the greatest things to witness.

Bradford away at Odsal in mid 80s.
We get a penalty and looked like no fucker wanted it.
To everyone's amazement up stepped George...bang !
He then became the unlikeliest penalty taker you'd imagine,yet barely missed one.
Stoke legend despite not being the greatest player we've ever seen !

Couple that up with his CH duties, definitely a legend. A leader too. We need a leader now |

On his day the best centre half who laced up boots and on an off day the worst. Legend. I know it's a cliche but it is true that you don't get characters like him anymore in football. He always wanted to be a centre forward.

When we got to the stadium the turnstiles were wide open, with no one around. So a load of us just walked in. The corners of the pitch were raised due to the track. |

Judder was ace. No Bobby Moore or anything but nobody can question his commitment to Stoke City.
His penalty taking was a huge shock! He did used to say on his next life he wanted to come back as a striker so that was his chance!

Hoekstra hadn't made his debut yet though to be fair. Luckily I grew out of the moronic phase (I hope). Met Sir Stan a few times over the years when I worked at the Brit reminded him of the story once gave him a good laugh and had my dad thinking what a dickhead again for even telling him |

Have seen and met Georgie Berry on quite a few occasions during his playing days at various functions including footy club presentation nights. Was always a top bloke both on and off the pitch and is a name that will fall into the Stoke City legends lists. (Wonder if the current crop of players go out to local footy clubs and dish trophies out in the close season?!)
My fave encounter with George was when I was mascot for a game in the late 80's at the age of 13 & I led the team out with him, I'd been on the waiting list for a good couple of years to this point but at least it was free back then! Now I'm a tall lad and was tall for my age even at 13 & just happened to be taller than George and the rest of the squad even at that tender age! Now all was going well until we lined up in the tunnel and George said "Look at the size of you I'm not holding your fcuking hand", with a big grin on his face!! Then all the way out George kept pointing at me and saying "Look at the fcuking size of him"! Even remember the Policeman who stood at the top of the tunnel back in the day at the Vic jokingly saying "George behave"!! Peter Fox also said "George watch your language he's only 13 but it continued well onto the pitch in true George fashion! Even had a photo in the Sentinel with George stood next to me aghast & pointing out that the mascot was taller than him! It sure made his day!
Awesome memories of a true Potter

Leeds kicked off and the ref blew for time, can't recall such a late goal. There fans were going fucking nuts in the Butler Street |

Great player and character in his testimonial when he got taken off he came and stood in the middle of the boothen and started a song. My abiding memory of him will be a red card V Everton when a young Steve Parkin was been getting a very rough time off it by David Johnson  George decided enough was enough and just came over and nutted him right in front of the Butler Street Paddock and walked off to applause. |

He got sent off for Punching Mark Falco too at White Hart Lane. I remember when he got sent off against Wallsall at The Vic, and the Stokies were chanting "Off! Off! Off!" To the ref |
