I am only of a age to be fortunate to have watched Smudger from 79 onwards but admired his so much.Watched him until that night against WBA.Read about his Stoke career pre-79 and watched vidoes of him playing for us.Today i commented to a fan next to me after Shawcross scored i can see Denis Smith in him,the bloke i said it to must have been 20 years older than me so obviously watched Smithy loads.He said he thought Ryan will be better.
Thoughts appreciated.

If we can hold on to him I think Shawcross will be club captain and England first choice within 3 years  |

Shawcross is quality, and WILL make it to the top. Can't compare him to Smithy yet though, he has a few more easons to grind out at the top before he can be really compared.
Smithy played against the best, the hardest, and the fastest in his time, week in and week out, season after season, and coped.

If we can hold on to him I think Shawcross will be club captain and England first choice within 3 years Unfortunately I don't think its possible in the modern day to be both. If Shawcross was playing for a top 4 side then he could be Englands first choice |

I recall Ryan getting sold short on the half way line in the second half,the Boro player went around him with ease.He has loads to learn,made a great diving header in his own box in the 2nd half.He is learning his trade,but learning it very quickly.I agree with other posts he is future England material,maybe Captain.
