I think the same season we beat wolves away by the same score. Certainly did mate, goals from mahoney, burrows, palmer and bloor in front of 34544. That stoke city encyclopedia comes in handy sometimes ;D |

Too early for me to have been there, but I remember them both. All the more remarkable because in those days we were generally a pushover away from home. Plus ca change...
I have a vague memory that after the comeback at West Ham, George Brown (the then Foreign Secretary in the Wilson Government) declared himself a Stoke fan. Mind you, he was notoriously keen on the booze and was on at least one occasion found drunk and incapable in a Westminster gutter.

Didn't go to the West Ham game but did go to the Wolves game mentioned by Old Potter.
I was 10 and my Arsenal supporting Uncle Ron (bless him) took me to Moliniuex for my first ever away game.
The thing I remember about the Wolves game was that it really foggy and from the South Bank you couldn't see the goal at the North Bank. We only knew Stoke had scored when they brought the ball back to the centre spot for Wolves to take the re-start.
Goooooaaaaarrrrrrrnnnnnn Stoke!

I remember the game well, although we didnt go, my mum and myself were at the vic watching the reserves and when the half time score came through 3-0 down we wernt happy, then after half time the score came trickleing through that we were winnning, oh joy, It seems strqange but the 20 or 30 people on the bothen got together and started chanting.
The wolves game, I dont know about the fog, I seem to remember that it was slashing down,

My recollection is that it was the only way to hear the final score, ie there was no final sports edition of the Sentinel back then (or maybe we just didn't get it). The alternative was to wait for the Sunday paper the next am. |

If I remember right didn't we go 3-0 down the following season and draw 3 - 3 The following season we drew 0-0. It was 1969/70 when we again came from 3-0 down but only managed a draw, though Denis Smith hit the bar in the last minute (and missed out on a hat-trick) I went to the Wolves 4-3 but not the West Ham one, though I remember it well. When the half-time score was given as 3-0 on Grandstand I took the hump and went to Longton Park for a kick-about. When I went home for my tea I wouldn't believe my Dad when he said we had won 4-3. It took the delivery of The Sentinel later that night to convince me. |

I'll tell you what, old floppy chops could stick a decent cross in. Seeing as he's out of work at the moment do you think Tone could get him in for those months when Pennant's out of favour?

Don't know who loaded this up on You tube. However, I used to travel up with the London Stoke Supporters from the 1970's onwards, and some London based Stoke supporter was passing the TV Studios (was London weekend soccer? that showed the match?), and saw a load of old film canisters discarded in a skip, one was marked West Ham v Stoke. He took it, and on a subsequent train trip asked who would buy a copy if they got it made into a VHS Video. Quite a few of us obviously did - and that was how the film was saved.
At the time of the match I was in Royal Navy new entry training. Our sole entertainment was an old radio, and by coincidence the match was the BBC radio second half commentary that day. It was brilliant to go from Half-Time despair to Full Time delight.

This is my favourite match. I was in that Crowd as a youngster. Will never forget it! I was living in Brockley South East London. Every month my father brought up to Wolstanton to stay with my grandmother. Happy days.
i was also at the 3-3 game and went home disappointed we did not win that 4-3!
