Stoke 4-1 Fulham in 2014. We were fucking unreal that day against a Fulham side scrapping for everythinf. Dan Burn asked Assaidi to switch wings, Arnautovic thumped one in in front of the Boothen. Life went on after Pulis. Real feel good times.

Luton 5-0 when Johnny Gayle cracked one in the bottom corner, mid 90s. Probably loads more that I conna recall! More recently, there was the Blackpool 4-3 in the league cup where we scored in the last minute. I celebrated that like theFA Cup semi! And this season, there was the Huddersfield cup game where Saido scored and their lad scored the incredible OG This thread is the essence of football supporting for me. You never know if the best game ever is approaching. Which is why it’s always worth sticking with it 😎😎😎 that’s the addictive drug/allure for me 1st thing that comes to mind is his miss against Vale in the cup. Open goal muddy as fck and rolls it in the mud. Arghhhhh!!! That was big dave Regis mate |

Villa away, about 1988.
Phil Heath winner. So many Stoke that they opened the gate and moved us to another part of terracing.

Stoke 2-0 Tranmere Rovers, 7th December 1996. My first Stoke game and only game at the Vic. I smile every time I think about it!

Blackpool away, November 92 - pissing down with rain in an uncovered away end, fans piling on the pitch to get under the covered section. 3-1 win and a fabulous goal from Rooster, and lots of pre and post game mischief had all over Blackpool. Good times. This. Went with my then girlfriend and remember being completely wet to the skin. Got back to the guest house we were stopping at and the landlady, very kindly washed and dried our clothes for us. |

3-3 draw with Barnsley in the FA Cup at the Vic during the Mills' era,Beagrie scoring a mint late(ish) equaliser.
We lost the replay at Oakhill, David Currie seemed to be a bit of a nemesis for us back then?

3-2 home win v Leicester which was a night match in late 2005. 2-1 down with fifteen to play then two in two minutes from Sidibe and Bangoura to win it. Both great headers, the latter coming after Dave Brammer absolutely skinned a defender out on the wing.

0-0 away at Liverpool 1st season in Prem. Epic performance I have to disagree. That was the longest bloody 90 minutes ever in the history of football. Loved listening to Stan Collymore on the way home defending our tactics and saying we thoroughly deserved the point  |

For me it’s a toss up between Stoke 6-1 Liverpool and Stoke 3-2 Arsenal. We were so in control in both games and when we scored the 4th (disallowed unfairly) goal I was sure we were going to hit at least 6 past them. Of course right after the disallowed goal, they rallied, but it was a great game.

We lost the replay at Oakhill, David Currie seemed to be a bit of a nemesis for us back then? Oakwell. Yep cracking game. We had a late goal ruled out as well as ball had gone out of play. The crush at the replay was a bit scary. Man City when they were on fire. Gleghorn gave them the lead. John Butler made his debut....Kamara bagged 2 Berry the other, 3-1 win. They took over the place |

Tottenham away. Fullers mazy run down the wing and Glenn with a fucking peach of a goal. Cue one of the best mentals I've ever been a part of. I still don't know how I found my seat after that.

Vs Hull at home. It was 1-1, but the atmosphere was great, Myhill kicked the ball out for a corner instead of a throw-in and Windass was booked as a substitute for warming up in front of Delap.

1982, Stoke 2:0 Arsenal. Was the first game I ever attended on my own, well with a couple of friends rather than my Granddad. Berry scored in the first few minutes.

Mine all seem to be from the same era, must be rose tinted glasses:
Leeds 1 - Stoke 3 at Elland Road 1980? - My second away game (After Notts County '79), Chapman hat trick.
Beating WBA 3 - 0 to stay up and send Leeds down, early '80s Stoke and Baggies fans cheering every goal, and Alan Clarke leaving at 1/2 time.
Beating Wolves 4 - 0 to stay up - 4 goals by Maguire.
Stoke 2 Arsenal 1 - Chamberlain and Berry's debut, walking away from the Vic, with my dad, who only ever praised 2 players (Matthews, and Franklin), and hearing him rave about Chamberlain.
Bizarrely losing 3 - 0 to WBA (I think a few days later), We hammered them, and I still don't understand how we lost. Players left the pitch to a standing ovation. (Unless my memory is playing tricks).
Almost every other game that season, especially Luton, 4 - 4.
Div 2 (As was) - Agree with others that have been mentioned, Phil Heath away goals at Villa, and Oldham, Leeds 7 - 2, Sheff Utd 6 -2
Away at Milwall, winning 3 - 2 with 10 men, after being 2 - 1 down (Painter? Donowa?)
Reading 3 - 0 Hoekstra hat trick, and Akinbye probably having his best ever game for us to boot.
Derby 0 Stoke 3 First day of season, brand new team with lots of great debuts GNW? SJE?, Asaba?
In fact, looking back, a lot of my favourite games have featured excellent debuts of players, maybe its the feeling of walking away from a ground full of optimism that is so rare. So to add to the list of debuts already mentioned:
Paul Maguire v Leeds (3 - 0?) and that free kick
Peter Griffiths (v Coventry?)
Graham Shaw - fantastic goal v Huddersfield

Reading 3 Stoke 4 at Elm Park (a night game- Steino’s second I think)- the Reading CentreHalf smashed the winner into his own net right in front of the Stoke fans.
Year after we were the champs!
