Bego Wilko Shawcross Muni Dicko Pennant Gunnarsson Fonz Arnie Fuller Sheron It is obvious that our selections must depend entirely upon our age. If I was younger and hadn't seen Banks, Greenhoff, Hudson & Co I would deff have included Sheron. I think that you are the first to include him in the team.
What a player! I really loved to watch him play.

If it really was the best 11 do people make the mistake of picking players that were successful but in the lower leagues?

Him and Pesch were who I used to pretend to be when I was playing football as a kid. I did put Pesch in first until I read the thread and remembered Fuller 👀😂

Yes you are right so I guess I was levelling up over 50 years in my own mind....that said I only saw Matthews once and he must have been 50. 🤦♂️

Liked sheron myself just liked thorne more brilliant knack of finding the net and would score a goal from a crap cross in the box,how we could do with that now i know fuller is very well loved on here and many wont agree,but thorne,stein an sheron all over ric for me,all did more for stoke,fuller had flashes of brilliance but was that laid back half the time he stood with hands on hips not arsed to chase anything lucky he had the likes of mama an walters to chase everything down and win flick ons for him

It's difficult as players are from different generations, and, for the first 10-12 years I was coming, we had some very average squads, but with the odd standout player, whereas the TP squads were better than the sum of their parts. Since 1995
Sorensen
Wilko Huth Ryan Clarke
Arnie Zonz Delap Ethers
SJW Fuller
Subs
Simmo Faye Higgy Whelan Hoekstra Thorne Crouchy
Special mentions
Big Mama Sergei Eustace Sheron Commons Taggart Akinbiyi Crossley
Manager - Tony Pulis

Surprised no Chamberlain in many of the older school ones. For that short spell as a kid was the most exciting player I've ever seen at Stoke. Having said that I also thought Blakes 7 was awesome as a kid. Good point but he is up against Stan in my team so misses out. No one so far has gone for Chapman. How much would he have been worth these days. The ball might have gone in off his shoulder, knee, ankle and backside but he still scored plenty.

What a good player he was. We haven't had a decent full back in years. Wilko wasn't a particularly good player by any stretch but had great passion which fans liked. Would have to have Delap in mine also

Too difficult with players I’ve seen, Change it to players who played at the Victoria ground Vs players since The Britania, players from both can fill in either team, then have a two legged ‘fictitious’ game... Who’d win, but who would you rather watch ? 😳
