A bloke who sat next to me in the Butler Street used to prounance Mark Stein as Mark Stine, every week but would sing Steino theres only one steino. I found it odd anyway. To be honest though there wasn't much singing in the Butler Street stand only the paddock.

My wife thought when a ball was lumped into row z that folks were actually saying 'rose head'.
She thought there was some story about a famous ground with a pub called the Rose Head receiving wayward passes all the time.

No judgement here. I used to think in the nursery rhyme / song ‘The Music Man’ that he came from a place called Danuway. I was able to work it out myself though, but I had to wait till I was in my mid 20’s.

I do remember when Central News covered a bit of the court case between TGO and Jim Gannon, they said something along the lines of “Stein, who now wants his surname pronounced Stine”. It never caught on - apart from with the bloke in the Butler Street stand obviously 😃

That’s the whole message. That's better than my grandad constantly calling him Ameobi, despite me correcting him plenty of times 😂

I once met the southern actor that was ‘playing’ Father Christmas at Lewis’s.
I asked him how he was finding Stoke.
He said it was fine, but couldn’t believe how many kids were called Luke.
When I looked at him quizzically he said “It’s all I hear all day. Luke it’s Santa”.

Reminds me of an story in either 'shoot' or '4-4-2' where a lad had seen the headline 'Wayward Cantona signs for Utd' and went round for weeks thinking his name was Wayward Cantona.

Must have been out of the Potteries & in Oz for too long

Get on this. For the John Rudge song back in the day. My brother sang 'his' version for years as follows...
'He's bald, he's bent, his HOUSE IS UP FOR RENT'
His fucking house :-) !!!

I have a friend whose name is Sam, short for Samuel. As a child he was sure that his first name was Sam and his middle name was Yul like Yul Brynner.
