Years ago my uncle took a girlfriend to a match and she saw Banks running towards the Boothen she said “ Are Stoke playing England today then ?”

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. When I was younger I thought the pub in Only Fools was called 'Nag Z'.

Great thread - loads of brilliant posts - well done everybody! There was a true story in the paper years ago about a little lad's grandparents being flummoxed about the pet he'd asked for when they'd asked him what he wanted for his birthday as they'd never heard of it before - so they asked him to describe it, and he said "wool, red and white stripes". Yep, it was a Stow cat........

And Marie's the name, of his latest dame...... by Elvis.
To be fair that doesn't make much difference to the meaning of the song.

I spent my first two years watching Stoke City singing “I want to be in that cupboard”. My older brother kindly never told me I was singing the wrong words. I put my stick in her hand until I was about 14 or 15

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. Mike Pejic still calls Etebo, Etobe

As a nipper in the late 80s, I always thought ‘you couldn’t score in a brothel’ was ‘you couldn’t score with a bovril’
I wasn’t au fait with such establishments at such a young age and it always conjured up a vision of some donkey striker (Dave Bamber I’m talking to you) bearing down on goal whilst struggling not to be scalded by a plastic cup of molten beef tea

My little brother spent his first couple of seasons on the Boothen singing "Sit here til I die."
It's amazing the level of helpless resignation that Pulis football had on us all!

when he was little My Mate used to shout "Gloucester" instead of go on stoke. I had a mate from Ireland when we wwere lads working in the pit in the 50s, The Hesketh at Whitfield. He asked me one day why everyone was telling everyone else, 'Dust here, mate,'when we were working in dust from the minute we reached pit bottom.

Missus came away to Blackburn with me a few years back.
After a rendition of "you're just a small town in burnley" which she joined in with i might add. She turned to me and asked.
"who is Tony Bailey?"
