Oh and I sold Tony Henry a ford Galaxy back in 1998 and I assure you he is and was a complete wanker Horrible bloke “I sold Tony Henry a Ford Galaxy back in 1998” is an absolutely magnificent start to a sentence. i thought after I typed that I best delete it as in the very small chance that he reads this he would know exactly who I was 🤞 |

I'm with you there. Never really bothered me too much until my lad was mascot. The three mascots were in the changing room with most of the players being great with them. Especially Duberry. When in strutted this fat little fucker shouting the odds saying 'get these kids out of here I need an ice bath'. I nearly filled the ignorant little fucker in there and then. So yes he'd be close to the top of my list. |

Griffin. Ricardo slapping him made me like Fuller even more. And his demotion from captain was already long overdue at that point.
Collins, Sonko, Cresswell, Brek Shea, Haugaard, Given, Kitson, all because they were worthless for us in the PL.

So I take it you missed Creswells goals and assists that got us to the premier league in the first place. |

Lee Sandford always seemed like an arse. No way a solid defender of the best back line I've seen at Stoke. He was on top form at the class of 92 night, stood talking for ages after the event having a drink talked about his time at stoke in glowing terms and all the people involved in the Victoria Ground days, players, fans and staff. His only gripe was he wished we had given him a better song on the boothen. Back to the question Jimmy McLean |

Shaqiri. Fantastic player and I'm not doubting his ability, but never really liked the bloke. He always seemed to want to point the finger and belittle other players whenever anything went wrong. Just struck me a a bit of a cock, and as great as he was, it always felt like the only thing he was ever interested in was himself.
N'Zonzi was another one. Probably still the best player I've seen in a Stoke shirt in my lifetime, but as a bloke - just struck me as an utter toss pot. I went up to Philadelphia a few years back to see Stoke play in a pre-season friendly against Philadelphia Union, right at the Start of Hughes reign. There were a couple of hundred Stokies scattered throughout the ground, and at half-time, there was an little area sectioned off in the concourse where the players bus was parked. Fonz was subbed at half-time, and he came walking back headed to the bus, and was greeted by a few Stokies as he walked past - and he just put his head down and walked past without even so much as a fuck you. Just struck me as a complete twat, couldn't even acknowledge a few fans who had likely traveled from all corners to come and watch a pre-season friendly. Like I said, fabulous player, but as a bloke, really disliked the guy.

TBF Griff also contributed his share of good performances for us before the return to the top division. They were just so out of their depth in the PL, it made me dislike them for being not good enough. I'm sure some of those other names could have maybe been contributors at a lower level or different points in their careers, but they were all shit when it really mattered, IMO |

Shilton - always got the feeling he thought we weren't good enough for him.
Kitson - similar to above, seemed an arrogant bugger.

Martin carruthers couldn't trap a bag of cement He was the victim of his own success in working himself into fantastic positions only to completely Diouf the whole thing up. He'd have been much better thought of if he'd not been in the right place so often. A real pity. The problems were all in his head. He was nicknamed 'jigsaw' for a good reason. |

Paul Dyson, and that so and so on Sky Sports, Chris Kamara. I only saw him play once, and that was enough! There are a few others, Danny Collins comes to mind. Useless, he was! There's one there now, who I didn't like before we signed him. McClean. Another running man, with very little skill.

John Halls. Probably the most skilful player we had at the time but he was ex-Arsenal so I always had him down as a flash, arrogant Cockney bastard. Never forget his sweet sucking interview when he had fallen out with the board (or was it Pulis, or was it both).
Going way back, Maurice Setters doesn’t sound like a nice bloke in Conroy’s Autobiography, but perhaps Terry was biased.

Going way back, Maurice Setters doesn’t sound like a nice bloke in Conroy’s Autobiography, but perhaps Terry was biased. John Harkes wasnt he the American fella who played for Coventry. Do you mean John Halls? |

Lee Sandford always seemed like an arse. Great bloke, brought me a signed team picture for my 9th birthday!! Still owes me around £100 seemed nice enough, I realised he was playing me too late. Either that or he just forgot he owed me. |

Even now I'm still pissed off that we signed Shilton instead of keeping faith with Farmer and spending the money on an Osgood type signing. Probably wrong of me to resent the bloke but I totally do.

Obviously destined for a future in teaching. Just saying like. |

Never heard the "jigsaw" thing but find it apt and certainly amusing! I sat in the butler street stand in them days so had a decent view of him and his prowess, for me he was a bit shit but then I thought Dave Regis was really good!!! Memories!!!! |
