I was never a great goalscorer, but a scorer of great goals,...

The captain admits the side had deserved criticism during a bad start to the season – conceding four times in three out of four games heading into mid-September. But he says Stoke have regrouped and worked hard to turn it around and that has started to show in results. The Potters have followed up their first clean sheet since March with...

  One-time Stoke City record signing Sam Smyth has died at the age of 91. Smyth had been an FA Cup final hero in 1949 with Wolves, scoring what was described as one of the greatest goals ever seen at Wembley Stadium. He joined Stoke for £25,000 in 1951 and, as top scorer in his debut season, his goals were vital in keeping the Potters in the top flight. He joined Liverpool part-way through the following season and was top scorer again at Anfield before eventually heading into...

Taylor is used to playing in the Premier League, most notably in front of 50,000 at Newcastle United, but after two knee ligament injuries ruled him out of the game for 26 months, he is delighted to be playing football...

  Twenty years ago today, just 23 days after becoming Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger endured his first encounter with Stoke City. The occasion was a Coca-Cola Cup tie at the Victoria Ground on October 23, 1996, and it wouldn't be the last time he returned to North London disappointed. Lou Macari's tenacious Stoke side had started the season well enough, a run of three successive wins including a 2-1 victory over Manchester City.

  Whatever they tried, it didn't work. Hull City tried to get around the lack of noise in their lowest ever top flight crowd by encouraging the die-hards who did make it to sing. The Tigers used the reverse side of rolling electronic advertising boards to print lyric sheets to fan chants, including hard-to-remember numbers like, 'He came from Italy to play for Hull City, Hernandez wooaaah.'

As well as setting up the first for Shaqiri by pulling off a brilliant combination of important tackle that stopped a counter-attack with a pass out to the wing, Shawcross had a part to play in the second. Shaqiri won a free-kick on the edge of the box when he was tripped by Curtis Davies and dispatched the dead ball into the right corner. But...
