What are your memories of crazy times down at the old Victoria Ground.. Here's a few I remember..
When we beat Wolves 4-0 that time, and we needed to score 4 goals in order to stay up in the old first division and Wolves were already relegated..I remember everyone at half time doing the conga, stokies pissed up on each others shoulders and this copper getting his helmet knocked off his head accidently..He just picked it up laughing, a bit different than today, you would have had a batton wrapped around you legs....
About 30 cops steaming in the Paddock, at first I thought it was away fans mixed in, but it was some big meat head scrapping with an old man..I did feel sorry for the old guy it was a bit harsh..
The Leicester fans in the paddock when Leicester knocked us out in the play offs..they got pelted with wright's pies..
Andy Ritchie having a tantrum, and kicking the ball into the Boothen end, unfortunately it hit a young kid in the face, and his Dad had to be restrained from twatting Ritchie by the stewards..
Millwall kicking off in the that far corner of the Butler[?] five minutes before kick off..their entire allocation just got up and ran at the old men, women and kids.. but it was that one Stoke fan running at the lot of them that sticks in my mind..they just stopped dead in their tracks as he waded in.. I was sitting next to an old bloke at the time, and saying ''just look at those idiots''.
He stood up and said '' Go on Stoke, sort em out''.
I'm sure Ive got more, but they are just some of the crazy things I witnessed back at the Old Vic..
What are your crazy memories?

too many to mention, but if I had to pick one, it would be a player rather than a fan, it would be Micky "the Claw" Pejic, ripping the shirt off dennis teuarts back (man City) throwing into the paddock and head butting him.he was walking to the dressing room before the ref could get to him....if your gonna go, go in style

Before a derby against Vale,as the Vale players were warming up John Jeffers went to collect a ball infront the Butler Street paddock and as he bent down some Stokie ran down the terrace and gave him a rayt good left hook in the back ;D He took it well though Jeffers did,the ugly twat

sure it was speedie in the semis of the autoglass thingybobby cup?
remember that millwall game, was the first game of the season, never seen so many Stoke lads knocking about before a game, hanging round fruitlessly with no sign of the cockneys in town though . They have other ideas, and decide to charge a scarfer stand right at the start of the game, and still the 10-15 or so Stoke in there give em a good go against about 150 of em lol
What about the Man City boxing day games in fancy dress, Spurs in the Boothen

For me it was the game against Liecester when Joe Jordan was in charge, a great goal by Gleghorn and wonder save by Prudhoe, and the chanting for Jordan that day just seemed to go on and on.
Look where that got us!!

I remember Man City coming in the Boothen and fucking kicked off everywhere.I got arrested and was fighting with Man C in the police van,so the coppers let a dog in to stop the scrapping.When we arrived at the cop shop we kicked off again with Man City lads inside the station,fucking mental times.Another one i remember was Wolves away,a load of us went into the North Bank but didnt last long lol.when we went 3-0 up only for Wolves to pull back to 3-3,some of us decided to go outside for a punch up,as the Wolves were waiting,then Stoke scored and a huge mental again.Went stupid outside but we won so we didnt give a fuck.
Gorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn Stoke

Remeber the Leeds game, when we ended there unbeaten run, & again when they got 7 put past them (think it was 7, Carl Saunders was playing). And sum great rucks outside & in, with the likes of Villa Brum Man shit west ham etc. It was speedy with the ball, the little twat.

In the days before they built the new Stoke End I remember as a lad, my paddock season ticket basically allowed you to walk all around the ground, boothen paddock to boothen end, over the barrier into the butller and from the stoke end of boothen paddock via the tunnel into the open Stoke End. Its not surprising there was mither. Man Ure in the 70's was always epic, running round Lonsdale street with scarves on your wrists. Bonkers. No where near as good as those early 80's away days. Blackpool's red and white mile...remember that? someone passing a whole hot dog stand around the away end at the old ground. Clearly Notts County away Richardsons goal to get promotion. And rather surprisingly Grimsby away, 100db of "does your mother smell of fish?" classic Memorable game 4-4 against Luton Town on a sunny day remember that? I think that was when Richie Barker had us playing open footy. Mark Chamberlains first few games, no one could get near him...brilliant. Taking the great Leeds United apart on their unbeaten run in the 70's. Any goal by Jimmy Greenhoff, big John Ritchie stopping the ball on the goal line and bending down to put it in with his nose Deep Joy  . |

He played a blinder that night. |

Can't remember which match but we scored 4. My bro-in-law (at the time) was pissed & kept running to the bog. Every time he went for a piss, we scored!!! He missed every goal & was well pissed off. We took the piss out of him all night in the pub. ;D Another match, i was standing behind (& one step up) the same bloke when we scored. He raised his arms with his fists clenched & caught me a rate cracker under me chin. I went down like a sack o shite as the Boothen surged forwards.  Luckily i was pulled to my feet by a couple of blokes. ;D Happy Times. ;D |

Just remembered another one. ;D We were playing pool in The Vic (pub) before a match against Liverpoo. A group of Liverpoo fans gathered at the window were giving us "wanker" signs.  As we politely waved to them, a semi-cirle of STOKIES formed around them. I suppose you can guess the rest............  ;D |
