30 years ago today since we thrashed wretched Stockport 1-0 at Wembo. On the way home saw a minibus of Stockport fans with a sign in the back window saying 'Mark Steen is a wanker'

Went as a kid with my brother and dad. We still have the image of Steino thumping in the winner as our WhatsApp group profile pic

I dont know what it was about Stockport at the time, for around 1 to 2 years I think i hated them more than any other team

(I also once had my lip split open in a drunken snowball fight with a group of Stockport fans at Staffs Uni student union, but I realise that’s a more personal one.) It was just a fierce and bitter rivalry for a while wasn’t it.. must seem very strange to any Stoke fan whose formative years have been in the last couple of decades.

Cracking day from start to finish. 35k Stokies there, the majority (you would presume) seeing Stoke at wembley for the first time. Made up for the disappointment the week before

This was the 'Associate Members' Cup Final.
We lost to Stockport in the Division 3 play-off semi-final around the same time right?
Quite a rivalry we had with Stockort at this time.
Was not helped by Jim Gannon calling Mark Stein 'a short, ugly, black, bean-headed twat' as I recall.
Funny how some phrases just stick with you :-)

That's the first time I've seen some of those televised post-match celebrations. Sky cut straight to another programme once the trophy had been presented. The bastards.

Yes I think it’s the first time I’ve seen a lot of that as well Dave.Was it 40,000 Stokies and 8,000 from Stockport if memory serves me right?

I seem to remember we sold 39000 tickets for that game... Sounds mad and it was mad... What a day that was! The sentinel says 35000 so I may be wrong?
