..had the pleasure of meeting him and had a brief chat with him last night. He was on the next snooker table to me up Rileys, Hanley. Seemed a decent down-to-earth fella. Not very good at snooker though! - he lost a 1 pound wager with the fella he was playing with. Anyway, I wished him well (unless of course we end up meeting in the playoffs)

Great player, such a shame he left. I don't mind him, just hate West Brazil. Cannot take away what a great job he did for us though and still remember that scorcher he banged in against Sunderland last season. Fair play to the Hoff!

"great player"
Good, nothing more. Can't defend but supports the attack well. However with him in this side we would look a stronger outfit overall.

did you ask him if he wanted to leave? I didn't need to. The guy who was with him spoke for him on that point and said that he didnt. I did ask whether he would come back and did say yes. Mind you, I doubt he would of said no would he?

He must have got knocked out of the poker early then if he was up Rileys.
He's a regular round Hanley and a nicer bloke you couldn't wish to meet.
Still loves Stoke City and has no intentions of leaving the area as he has a good bunch of mates.
Did the fella playing snooker look like a bulldog ;D If so that'd be Bernie, another top bloke.

Ofcourse he wanted to leave.
Otherwise he would still be playing for us ;D
Obviously thought moving to West Brom would forward his career, how wrong was he!

Spot on St0key, the other fella was a short bulldog type bloke. Seemed a nice friendly geezer. Dust know him?

Carl seems to be a top bloke.
Can confirm he lives in Norton Heights - he rents property off a friend of mine.
