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. You seem to be alone in thinking he isn’t a legend. Read this thread He's far from a legend.

You seem to be alone in thinking he isn’t a legend. Read this thread He isn't a legend. He broke up a decent strike pairing in Jones and Walters, was kept for at least three years too long and is only liked because he's a nice guy off the pitch. Delighted he's finally gone, was nice to not see him warming up on the touchline today.

At least we replaced crouch with a new version of Rikki Dadason

Aside from his awful penalty miss it’s hard to judge Vokes too much based on today’s performance, he had next to no chances created for him. There wasn’t one decent cross into the box for him to get his head on.

The Bet365 is intimidating for away players?? It's got to be more intimidating for the home players these days surely. He'll probably find out on Saturday 😁

Poor lad he'll get a shock. It's the use of "I'll" do this and that that I like. No-one else talks about what they personally will bring. It hints at a taking of responsibility for ones own performance which has been sadly lacking by players this season. He just looks like a good egg. Worked hard on at Hull. I like him already.

I notice he didn't mention catching missed penality disease since joining us Hopefully because he doesn’t believe he’s caught it! Didn’t he score all the nine penalties he took before the missed one?

The moves that got the Burnley pen at the weekend would defo have been given as foul if he was playing in the Championship for us.
