If not English, or perhaps if not even from Stoke.
Whats your connection to Stoke or why did you decide to support them?
Im just a boring half Aussie half Stokie (mums from Biddulph, so shes seen a lot).
I think Dr Hessham is egyptian and got into us because of Sobhi from memory but do we have any interesting surprising cases on here?
I dont mean bandwagoners but genuine supporters. Are there any Nigerian Stokies for instance or something just as random?

Welsh Stokie here. Supporter since early 70s and put it down to liking being a goalkeeper at the time and Banks was the main man at the time.

Born in Scotland, moved to Staffordshire (Rugeley) in 1970 aged 6, fell in love with the mighty potters and have remained smitten ever since. The only family connection I have with Stoke is my wee sister, who was born in the Royal Stoke Hospital, and my eldest son's fiancee's dog, who she got as a pup from someone in Stoke. One of my most significant relationships was with a lass from Stoke who was gorgeous, feisty as fuck and as mad as a box of frogs. I've spent most of the last 20 years living in Asia, so no longer get to games, but cable telly meant I never missed a single minute of our 10 years in the Prem and I've managed to do likewise every game since, although some of our Championship-era coverage has involved watching on dodgy Turkish or Eastern European streams. Many a night's sleep has been sacrificed to the cause, and frustration and disappointment has generally been the reward, but what choice does a not-from-Stoke Stoke fan have?

Born on the Isle of Wight
My mother is French
My father is English
Have supported stoke for 40 years.
Why ? When we were young my brother got a subbuteo set for Christmas and the teams that came with it were leeds and stoke. He always played as leeds and i got the choice of...Stoke.
He still supports leeds and i still support Stoke.

I"ll add that I didnt really like "Soccer" that much. When I was 10 or 11 I dont know, came to visit my nan and begged my mum to take me to a Man Ure game. Did the stadium tour, say in Fergies chair, the lot. Tickets are obviously booked out months in advance. Something I could not grasp when my mums friend (Janice Machin, whom still goes apparently if anyone knows of her) told me that I can watch a local 2nd division team thats "just as good" Went and watched us beat Preston 3-1 under the lights while wearing a brisbane lions beanie (Australian Football Team) whom some bloke said I was a barnsley supporter and rightly hurled abuse at a naive 11 year old. Next thing you know were in the prem, family coincedentally gets foxtel (sky) and I find myself pressing the little red button every week to watch us. Not sure whats its like over there but people in Aus look at you like youre not all there when you dont support a top 4 team. They dont know what theyre missing out on  |
