If you had a time machine with room for three in it, and went back in time, which would be the first two Stoke City strikers you would pick up and bring back to get us out of the shit we're in? (don't worry about our lack of creativity, it's obviously hypothetical)

Greenhoff and Steele. I reckon they would have been a fabulous pairing - although Greenhoff and Ritchie were pretty good.

Big John Ritchie. I hardly saw him play as I was too young, but if you need goals then who better than our record goalscorer.
Then Steino, firstly because he was truly 'the Golden One', and secondly because I'd give almost anything to see him at his best playing for us again.

Fuller and Sheron would create and score the goals needed to stay up.

Before I start let me just day my favorite Stoke player of all time is Greenhoff. I was lucky enough to see him and big John, Steino, Sharon and Ric. But... With these 11 games to go
Big John - great outball and would batter most centre halves in this league anyone playing off him had a great day at work.
Ric - could just make magic happen and we need some, would have loved to have seen him and Shaq. He would get the ground bouncing and can do his FA cup final speech in the dressing room.
Steino - great finisher if we only get one chance he's going to take it and that bit of extra pace would scare the shit out of opponents.
If only
In case its not obvious, I'm sending them back for 3 places and staying behind in 1972 until its all over.

How about get Stanley Matthews (I know OP said strikers) and Big John Ritchie.
They’d be a formidable combination I reckon.

Stein and Bertie in their pomp, a proper double act. Or going back to the first partnership I saw at the Vic, Greenhoff and Ritchie, nah then............Shaq just feed em the ball.......

It has been 18 years since we had a striker that scored more than 15 goals in a season. 18 years since we had a proper goalscorer. That is a travesty!
I would bring back Peter Thorne & Mark Stein.

The greatest striker ever to play for Stoke is Freddie Steele, who not only holds the season scoring record for league games, and scored a hat trick for England.
But every great striker needs an "assistant". Matthews was clearly the greatest ever creator of scoring opportunities.

I'd have stopped Hitler being a cunt so we could have won the league then picked up Steele and Ritchie on the way back.

So no one would go for Owen and Hurst in their prime then?
Ritchie and Greenhoff will do nicely thanks. Stein on the bench.

Not bringing anyone in, but this is what I'd do, I'd have got Anton Booth , TJ, of AD Booth Roofing to put a few extra nails on the roof of the Butler Street Stand, Then I'd have nicked Gordon Banks's keys and got him a taxi home, and finally I'd have set Wimmer and Berrahino up in a match fixing scandal and get them life time bans, just before we signed em.

Peter Thorne! He wouldn't stand a chance in the Prem. Any road, if I had a time machine I wouldn't be poncing about looking for old strikers, I'd be having a word with my younger self about the way the world is going and to make preparations accordingly. Then I'd be buying Stoke City so that I could get a load of abuse of you lot, but I wouldn't give a $#!t, cause I'd be minted 💷💷💷

I would go back to the 1880s and collect Tommy Clare, then take him to Waterworld in Festival Park and recreate that scene with Napoleon in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
