Mr Horribin was in charge during my days at Moorside. He too, incidentally was shagging Mrs Bird... When I was there he was deputy to Mr Crawley. Didn't he knock over and kill a kid, totally cleared of any blame... Didn't know about that?

Born - Parents’ bedroom, council flat, Clayton, Newcastle-under-Lyme... Highly recommended 👍😀 Wimp. I was born in the kitchen of my parent's terraced house in St Clair Street (Florence). It was winter and there was no heating upstairs. When I was 6 we moved across Chaplin Road to Hales Place and when I brought my first house I moved all the way to Frenchmoor Grove (off Star and Garter Road). We were one of those old pottery families who considered anywhere other than Longton, Fenton or Stoke to be somewhere a long way away, probably near to Siberia! My Dad was born in the street that backed on to the old Stoke End and went to the school behind the Boothen End. We have always been well travelled! When I was about 30 I finally moved all the way to Penkridge but since retiring the lure of home has dragged me back to Stone. Kitchen? No heating upstairs? You lucky bastard! 😀... My parents’ bedroom was so cold, I nearly died of hypothermia! 😉 Seriously...nice post mate 👍

Born in Huntington due to my dad being in the RAF, raised in Manchester. My dads from blurton and I've been going Stoke for 25 years out of 30. Wouldn't have it any other way, I might be surrounded by Manchester United and City fans but I'm a proud Stoke city fan.

Born in Sutton Coldfield but lived in Tamworth, then moved to Leek when I was six. Lived in the area (Leek/Keele/Trent Vegas) until I moved just up the road to Yam Yam Land in my early 20s, and then to Canada.

Stafford duck... north end of Stafford mind! Holmcroft pub is my local and generally full of Stokies, memory serves me right they used to put coaches on outside to home games now and again.
Now live in Devon 😎

Born in Doncaster moved to Stone in 1989 aged 10. Played for a team in the Blurton lads and dads league and our manager used to take the whole team to watch Stoke now and again (not as a punishment when we lost) and that was me hooked!

My parents’ bedroom was so cold, I nearly died of hypothermia! 😉 Seriously...nice post mate 👍 Wimps,it was so cold in my bedroom, the flames on the candles froze. They were a different breed in those days! Even though she has now had central heating for many years, the radiator in my mother's bedroom is always turned off and the top window is permanently locked open no matter how cold the weather. Her one acknowledgement to not being as young as she was is that in a really cold winter she might dig out the 7.5 tog duvet or even warm the bed first with a hot water bottle. If I say anything, she just says I am nesh and that the cold now is nothing compared to the winter of 1947! Mind you, even she dresses for a polar expedition when she goes to the match on a Saturday at the Bet365.

Mind you, even she dresses for a polar expedition when she goes to the match on a Saturday at the Bet365. My mum in her later years could have had a free gas boiler fitted, always refused because she was entitled to free coal from my Dad's NCB service (they halved the allowance when my Dad died, maybe they expected her to only heat half the house? ). She would have still been entitled to the coal even after the boiler was fitted. If she wanted heat she'd use a little calor gas heater until she'd got the coal fire going, when I was a kid up until I left home, if the fire wasn't lit there was no hot water or heating, end of story.

I always want them to lose, comes from living amongst them at a time when we were particularly shit and they were spending Mandarics millions, that and being scared shitless that with the success they were having, and being born and having a lot of family there, my two lads would follow them and not Stoke. Fortunately for me the threat of making them sleep in the shed alone was sufficient to avert such a crisis.

It was so cold my bedroom, the condensation on the windows froze on the inside. We had central heating but it ran off the fire in the living room, which went out at night. “Good old days”, eh?
