Enjoyed that It just makes you realise what a bunch of overpaid pussies the modern day footballer is There’s no way in hell they’d play on pitches like that

Thoughts:
Has there ever been a worse penalty decision?
How "Lampard-looking" is Lampard?!?
Shilts looking cat-like; I'd been led to believe he was never very good for Stoke.
What are all those pockets of applause around the ground about, when West ham score their goal? Are they all from Hammers fans in amongst the Stokies, or were home fans a bit more sporting back then?!?

Shilton had some very good performances here, but he also had a few too many "Pickford/Butland" moments for a keeper of his quality.

The Arsenal v Man Utd 1979 FA Cup final is/was on after and there are a fair few players with Stoke links involved....Sir James Greenhoff,Lou Macari,Sammy Mac,Mickey Thomas,Brian Talbot and last and definitely least Joe Jordan.

I’ve not seen this Stoke v WHU game before, so made it particularly enjoyable. There’s certainly more in the TV archives that I hope see’s the light of day.

Brian Talbot. What a good signing he was for us. Weren't we rooted to the bottom of Division 2 when Millsy signed him? Then we started picking up and that unbeaten run started where we couldn't stop scoring.

That Stoke squad in the 70's is my all time favourite squad, apart from Shilton. Banksie was the best of the best. How we did not achieve more glory with that squad is a mystery. We really where a pleasure to watch.

Are they all from Hammers fans in amongst the Stokies, or were home fans a bit more sporting back then?!? still an era when good play by either team , particularly a goal , was acknowledged sportingly by many in a crowd , the majority applauding would be Stoke ..it still happens today , but it’s usually general a nod of appreciation rather than applause , whilst many younger / feral away fans would mob together ( numbers would vary greatly ) many older more mature fans didn't , stands paddocks / enclosures , even the front or wings of some ends were safer , friendly even , certainly less partisan places than the middle of ends ... designated home and away ends / sections simply heightened the ‘them and us’ mentality nationally , making away fans a target rather than ‘guests’ of the city they were visiting Later the arrival of secondary home mobs , in paddocks ..or designated away ends ( originally away sections were designated , not segregated ) made life even harder

We really where a pleasure to watch. Some say our happy Corinthian ethos was our downfall. That Stoke squad (1974) was way more expensive to assemble than the Liverpool side of that era. It’s also interesting to note the great players Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester United bought for relatively cheap fees in that era too, compared to our own squad.

Brian Talbot. What a good signing he was for us. Weren't we rooted to the bottom of Division 2 when Millsy signed him? Then we started picking up and that unbeaten run started where we couldn't stop scoring. Master stroke of a signing. Both Talbot and Nicky Morgan came in and everything just seemed to click. Partnerships developed all over the pitch and it was the best sequence of results I’ve ever seen from a Stoke team before or since. Sadly, it fizzled out and never returned.

Yeah, Talbot and Devine (the season before) were both great signings
Such a shame Devine's career was ended by that leg break

What are all those pockets of applause around the ground about, when West ham score their goal? Are they all from Hammers fans in amongst the Stokies, or were home fans a bit more sporting back then?!? Yes in the 60s/70's home fans used to applaud goals by opposition teams if they were good goals. It was part of football culture I remember applauding Glen Hoddle's debut goal Watch Newcastle fans applaud John Mahoney's goal for Stoke on St.James Park....many, many examples on youtube It died out by the 80s The myth that Shilton was crap for Stoke is a bit annoying to me, as someone who saw the majority of his games. He made some remarkable saves for Stoke and generally we looked solid at the back when he was in goal. He was a great keeper I have no doubt. I think it has been blurred by the fact the -he wasn't the most popular in the camp (apparently) -general dislike of him (yes he is annoying but so are a lot of footballers!) -the fact that he came in for the popular local lad John Farmer (who was a good keeper, but prone to some very poor decision making at key times in games, and maybe other stuff going on there) -the idea that we should have bought a centre forward instead (we could have bought both tbh and very nearly did with Osgood) I feel his apparent 'failure' here has been totally over-exaggerated. That's my take.

Shilton was an exception, he was one of the most highly paid at the time. Not all players were well paid considering the level they were playing. I remember early 70s John Mahoney used to catch the bus home after the game. Terry Conroy lived in digs opposite the ground, small terraced house, with his landlady, went in for a cup of tea once! They weren't exactly splashing the cash! These are equivalent of Prem players now
