Crouchy and SJW will be tearing up the PL once again. Didn't Walter's go to ipswich He returned to Burnley after picking up a season-ending injury without playing a single minute for Ipswich.

I didn't know Vokes was Welsh? No that it makes any difference. he actually looks like he should be at stoke. He reminds me of some of our away support sniffing beak in Watford 'spoons toilets go-arn Svoke go-arn svoke! I knew as I remembered this goal. Cracking header.

I know you don't rate him but I think most Stoke fans do. Cracking signing for Stoke Crouch Enjoyed watching an intelligent centre forward personally. I don't know any stoke fans that rate him as things stand. Equally I don't know a stoke fan that doesn't like him. No. You’ve never rated him. To others he’s a legend . That’s bcause you know the square root of .,,

WOLVES BONUS
Sky Sports News understands Wolves will receive at least £1.7m of the fee that Stoke City have paid Burnley for Sam Vokes today.
Wolves included a sell-on clause when they sold Vokes to Burnley in 2012, guaranteeing 25 per cent of any future fee.
That means they will get £1.7m of the initial £7m transfer fee that Stoke have paid - it could rise to £2.1m, if all of the Vokes contract add ons take the fee up to a possible £9m.

Farewell Crouchie, you will go down in Stoke folklore. Not only a great footballer but a real ambassador for the club that will not be replaced. Let’s not forget some of the key goals which got us out to jail. His signing really put us on the map, signing such a high profile striker, with an amazing international record was the moment I felt we’d arrived and would have a platform to improve.
Other than my favourite Stoke goal ever, his consummate professionalism stands out above his fellow players, never whinging when not playing, always supportive of the team, club and management and general great all round guy, with a fantastic self deprecating sense of humour.
Good luck Peter you’ll be missed

116123 24 hours a day. They are there to help heal your broken heart. So that looks like every Stoke fan thought he was great and a legend except you and a few little cronies In what way exactly is he a Stoke legend? He's a high profile player, namely courtesy of being a decent guy who has an odd physique and an usually good goals record for England that he's rarely, if ever, matched at club level. He's undoubtedly helped to keep our club in the public eye but on the pitch, what exactly has he achieved for us. He scored a super goal against Man City and he got his 100th Premier League goal whilst wearing a Stoke shirt but that doesn't give him legendary status. We've had far better than Crouch and if we were picking a best Stoke 11, he'd struggle to get into the 5th team. He's a great guy and I'll look forward to spending some time in his company in the near future now that he's signed for Burnley but a Stoke City legend? I don't think so somehow. His best days were long before he joined us. I'll await your considered response as to exactly what he's achieved in a Stoke City shirt that makes him a club great, let alone a club legend.

Legend is perhaps stretching it, dave but I fear I may be long cold in the ground before the next player surpasses 45 Premier League goals for us!

Gordon Banks is a legend Stanley Matthews is a legend Dennis Smith Jimmy Greenhoff and George Eastham and any other member of that league cup winning side are legends.Anybody else in our history are also rans!

I'll shake his hand ask him about his time at stoke and be very professional. Hes had a good career. I'll be interested to find out if he himself believes we saw the best version of Peter crouch.

Depends how you quantify legend I suppose? Its a word used far too often these days IMO. However Crouch's contribution to recent Stoke history has been without question and he will be remembered more fondly and for far longer than many other players who have worn the shirt in the last decade.

I could produce a long list of players that won things elsewhere that aren't legends. Stan never won anything at Stoke and is obviously a legend so I don't see how your logic stacks up. Alan Ball had a WC medal as he insisted on telling everyone when he was manager but I don't think he's a legend. Neither was Mike Bernard.

McCue and Skeels for longevity and appearances? You can define the word but 'Legend' is often in the eye of the beholder.
