The year hundreds of Stokies led by i think John Bailey ¨Zigger Zagger¨ walked to Old Trafford overnight for a Cup match in the 60s..It was a bus or train strike...I remember Roy Vernon played and missed a sitter ......2-0 Man Utd ???

I walked every fookin inch mate.  The reason if i remember was, public transport refused to carry Stoke fans to away matches because of the damage we caused.  So a walk was organised in protest. PS. I missed the second half because I fell a sleep in the bog. ;D |

remember John Farmer letting a shot from David Herd go because he thought it was going wide and went in off the post.
