Last night my Dad a life long Stoke supporter and former ST holder passed away, he was in his 80th year.
It is at times like these that I appreciate everything that we did together including going to Sir Stan's last game in 1965, FA Cup Semis, League Cup Win, away trip to Ajax and so much more.
I know he will be watching against Pompey on Saturday so come on boys do him proud.
Thanks for everything Dad and R.I.P.

Condolences-I went down a similar route to you, going to or being taken to almost the same games. Things will never quite be the same for you, but time does lessen the pain.

RIP to your Dad
My Dad is 75 and I am making sure that we are enjoying every last minute of our Premiership sojourn together.
Having a Dad who is an avid Stokie like you to then lose must be like facing the world 'alone'

My condolences to my friend. My dad passed away just before we got promoted. Gutted that he missed it. He died of cancer and was a bit of a catholic and told me and my son that he would sort it for us when he was on the other side, not that I believe in anything like that, but should your dad meet up with him, god help him Love to you and your family, and will be thinking of all our past Stokies when we score on Saturday now. We'll Be With You

My sincere condolences to you and yours, fella.
I lost my own father in January 2008 and so I have recent memories of what you and your folks are going through.
Hang on to those wonderful memories of your Dad, yourself and Stoke. Along with all your other family memories, they will be of great comfort to you as the time goes by.
R.I.P Eric Bowler.
