Players who were over 30 when they first signed for Stoke. Saw this on another board and it was much harder than I expected!
Sorro
Johnson Ab Faye Taggart Dorigo(!)
Mikel(!) Delap Gleggy
Wingie
Beats Crouch
If you think some of that is scraping the barrel have a look at the subs' bench:
de Goey
Jags
Craddock
Upson
Matteo
Sidwell
Fletcher
Vrancic
I only did it from my time (late 80s ish). I'm sure there are a few upgrades from the 70s we could add in

It would be the first team in the 1960s.

I think Banks only misses out by a few months.

Matthews Mk 2? Does that count? Was trying to avoid 2nd spells but given the paucity of options maybe him and Huddy should go in |

Whenever I do anything like this it just highlights how tragically bereft of decent full-backs we’ve always been. Feels like we haven’t had two proper consistent ones on either side since the days of Johnny B and Lee Sando |

Lee Grant was early 30s when he signed I think?
Does Patrik Berger count with him only being on loan? Wasn't brilliant for us but he was part of that first group of loans with Hendrie and Diao (I think) where we started getting some bigger names at the club.

Would Danny Higginbotham second time round solve the left back issue? He must've been getting on when he signed in 2008

Mikael Hansson was 31 I think. Faster and fitter than most players in the squad back then, shame about his injury.

Is this whilst they played for us or how they were elsewhere? Gudjohnson, Owen, Carew, Upson as examples
