I've got a small figurine of Tony Pulls that I used to stick pins in, on a regular basis. I'd happily donate this to get the ball rolling.😉

This was one of the items discussed at the Supporters Council meeting and deserves a thread on its own imo. I think it'd be a tremendous idea. Have we got like a hall of fame? You could incorporate that sort of thing in to it. It wouldn't need to be big but if it was done right, I think it'd be a really excellent addition to the area in/around the stadium. I'd like to see a NCB donkey jacket. Seeing the guys in the Boothen End was part of the culture of the time. The programmes used to advertise job vacancies for the mines.

You could put Crouchie's missing two front teeth in it
Charlie's snappin' tin (if there's room)
TP's cap collection and tracksuit ensemble
Berahino's work ethic and attitude
Wimmer's weight loss plan (blow the dust of it)
Hughes' tactical awareness
Lambert's interpreter
Butland's butter (that he smears his fingers in against Leicester)
The pizza boys' empty boxes
Less museum more Room 101 😬

The club certainly needs something. We have an abundance of history but nothing that preserves or demonstrates it (barring the off photo on the wall and a couple of statues).
When you think about it, the club is;
- One of the oldest surving professional clubs. - Founding members of the Football League (the FL was actually based in Hanley for it a first six months with the secretary being a member from Stoke). - Has a successful group of homegrown players in Bob McGrory's team through the 1930, 40s and 50s. - Had one of the most prominent female football teams in the country during the the first half of the twentieth century (it was a Stoke member who formed the Women's Football Association at the time) - Had players like Stanley Matthews, Gordon Banks and Frank Soo (the first non-Caucasian to represent the English national team).
And that's just off the top of my head and ignoring the modern era.
There is plenty of history (and signigicance). It just requires a little bit of thought and forward thinking by the club.

Is it true that Lord Lucan and Shergar were found alive and well in our trophy room?

I thought we had a working museum like Blists Hill our gameplans are from a bygone era.

Got James O'Connor's shirt and that of Souleymane Oulare here... The ones they wore on that famous play-off semi-final second leg at Cardiff City when Super James scored two late goals to take us to the final at the Millennium Stadium against Brentford, when Gudjon got us promotion. Because the last goal deflected off his arse, it's a pity we didn't get the shorts Oulare was wearing. OS.

Typical of you, Norcop, to take the shirt off a man's back . There's probably the print of a ball on Oulare's shorts. Anyone got 'em?

Yeah what could the second oldest league club in the world (I feel like I've just made that up based in England being forerunners but im sticking with it) possibly put in a museum? No history. Exactly not much and I am a fan of over 50 years standing!! Really? And you can't think of anything in those 50 years that might be of interest in a museum about our club? Not to mention the 100 before that... what about '72 cup win huge games against Ajax Anglo-Italian Cup capers as described on here the other day 60s tour of South America which attracted crowds of 80,000 in Buenos Aires and Santiago Autoglass wins and titles with rampant teams in the lower divisions two of the world's best ever players in Banks & Matthews our uncertain and much-debated beginnings (someone on here wrote an entire very interesting PhD thesis on this) Cleveland Stokers the Vic & the move to the Brit the remarkable career of Frank Soo the remarkable career of Nello history behind our enduring popularity in the Nordic countries participation in the highest-attended domestic match in England etc. That's completely of the top of my head, there must be dozens or hundreds of other points of interest. What a thoroughly depressing outlook for a fan to surmise that this amounts to "not much".

It could be a timeline sort of tour ending in the "Fuss" room.
