Stoke City 3 Leeds United 2... February 1974.
Leeds, 29 games unbeaten, and needing just one more to equal the all-time record, go 2-0 up early on at The Vic, but Stoke roar back to score through Pejic, Hudson and Smith to win the game 3-2.
It was an incredible performance and the talk of football.

i'm sure there have been many but seen as i normally go to the game after 1 too many stella's it can be quite difficult to recall the next day.

Stoke 5 Arsenal 0 in 1971 I'd go for that as well , who could forget T.C's 30 yard screamer into the top corner , which won Goal of the Month (may have been season?). on M.O.T.D.

The person who said it was the Hoesktra masterclass has their year wrong We won 3-0 with that Hoesktra masterclass This game was a Hoekstra masterclass but not as much as the one where he scored the hat-trick. He seemed to save his best games for Reading. I seem to remember Gunnarsson also had an absolute blinder in the 2-0 win. We spent the last half an hour basically showboating...the whole team that is!

The first twenty minutes at home to QPR last season were I think the best we've ever played at the Brit.

Titanic. Defo agree with you,that was a superb match about Easter time. I was on Stoke end with my mate.We decided to go to game at last minute instead of the flicks. If memory serves me right Terry TC Conroy scored both goals. Another game around about that time that people seemed to have forgotten was our opening home game against Leeds and we thumped them 3-0.

Mine are going to have to be 2 cup games from when i was a kid, just purely down to the size of the results.
Stoke 2 -1 The Shit - 2 absolute peaches from Stein
Liverpool 2-2 Stoke - I still remember the radio presenter as we were on the car park leaving Anfield that night. 'And how about this for a result..... The Mighty Liverpool 2, Stoke City of the third division 2!' That was the night that Stoke became my life!

Stoke ending Leeds unbeaten run, after being 2- 0 down. Also the 5 - 0 against Arsenal someone mentioned above, and beating Liverpool at Easter in our nearly title winning season, 2-0 I think, we looked on our way to the title. Not to be.

I can remember us having a brilliant game against Blackpool (about 2000?), and still somehow we managed to lose. I have no idea about the score or even when it was, but I can still recall trying to understand how we'd not comfortably won the match. I remember it pretty well. We absolutely battered them yet lost 3-1 (and our goal was a debatable penalty by Dean Crowe). The performance fully deserved the round of applause it got at full time. Most bizarre! For me, I would go with the Arsenal win from this season. The so called beautiful side being out played (on the ground) by our big, strong, physical, hoofing side. An absolute pleasure.

Or as mentioned earlier the 3 v 2 defeat of Leeds when we ended their unbeaten run,even the bus driver didnt believe me when I told him we had won.......on a more up to date note the 5 nil hammering we are going to give Arsenal and so ensure our stay in the top flight for a long time to come !!!!

I must now be one of the old timers, because that 74 Leeds game was my first match. Didn't really understand the significance at the time. My memories are of Bremners free kick before the ref had blown, and Mike Pejics pile driver free kick. I can also remember a bloke in his bags with a scarf on his wrist being led away with a dart in the side of his nose. Ahh, those were the days...
Worth pointing out that the 5-0 demolition of Arsenal, which I think must have been about August 1970 was a great performance, not only because of TC's wonder goal, but also since Arsenal won the double at the end of that season.
Used to joke that after that first game it had been all downhill ever since. But the Villa game this season was like a fairytale, first game back in the top flight, and from the promotion season I will always remember Scunthorpe for the comeback, Liam's goal against Cov, and the late kick off in the crunch game with Bristol, which was a foretaste of this season in terms of atmosphere. Gary Johnson said his players had never experienced anything like it, and it knocked them off their game for the first half hour.

The away game at St Andrews when Chamberlain ran riot stabds out for me. This game, I witnessed what must be the best individual goal scored by Mark Chamberlain. Never found any film of it though, brilliant display by Chamberlain, the best game he played for Stoke. Forgot the Stoke 3 - 2 Leeds game, made more memorable due to the amount of games Leeds had been unbeaten and Stoke ended their run after being 2 - 0 down. Brilliant.

Stoke 3 - 3 Huddersfield Stoke 3 - 2 Leeds Stoke 5 - 1 Man citeh ? All early 70s Yeah and i bet the sun always shined in the early 70's, the girls had bigger tits and the beer was much stronger Are you sure you weren't there Gary but you forgot how cheap it was as well? Chirper's right ending Leeds unbeaten run was brilliant and would be my choice - first time we played them that season so the run could have been much shorter!

I have no idea about the score or even when it was, but I can still recall trying to understand how we'd not comfortably won the match. I remember that game, we had so many chances, just couldn't find the back of the net, well, not until they had scored 3! 3 chances and 3 goals! It was the most one-sided game I've ever seen where the best team lost. I think it finished 3-1, with Dean Crowe getting one late on. Please correct me if I'm wrong! Oopsy, Knowles beat me to it! ;D

That Blackpool game was in the 1998-99 season, under Brian Little. It was our first defeat of the season and, ironically, we probably played better football in that game than in any of the preceding matches. I think one of Blackpool's goals was scored by Martin Aldridge, who later had a loan spell at Vale and died in a car accident in 2000.

Being 3-0 up at Nottingham Forest in September 1993 takes some beating (final score was 3-2). I went to the game but it was also shown live on ITV - I must dig out that video. Although everyone remembers the Man Ure cup game that same month this one still sticks in my mind too.

Can't remember the actual quality of the performances but...
Luton 1 Stoke 2 - Two goals in the last few minutes
Wolves 1 Stoke 4 (Should have been 5) was an epic and fun after the match too ;D

Agree with most of these, but cant believe nobody has mentioned 3-3 draw at Charlton in CC Cup about 10 yrs ago. What a mental to win on away goals, especially with our cup record recently! Thordarsson, absolute cracker, remember being down the line of the shot, thought it was going to hit us but it crept in the top corner!

That's the one for me as well Smudge, what a day, what a game ;D Denis' goal through a melee of bodies to win the game, witnessed the best boothen mental I ever witnessed. Doing Liverpool, 2-0 in 1984 ( was it Colin Russell on the scoresheet?) also memorable. Chamberlain taking Kenny Sansom to the cleaners on his debut. Huddy's comeback game v the Arse, just for his body swerve that sent four defenders the wrong way...genius.
