About this book

THE WHISTLE goes at Wembley, and Stoke City have won the League Cup! Chelsea pressed late on, but the defence held firm. Earlier, goals from Conroy and Ritchie sent the red and white end into raptures. It finishes 2 – 1. For the first time in their 109-year history, Stoke lift a major trophy. Banks raises the cup, the fans erupt. It’s more than a win, it’s history. The Potters are champions!

Follow the story of Stoke City through a book of authentic Daily Mirror newspaper articles, curated from authentic reports dating back to 1922. This edition charts the club’s history — exactly as it was reported at the time.

Featuring:

– Early reports from the Victoria Ground and unforgettable matches through the decades
– Celebrating Stoke legends like Denis Smith and the legendary goalkeeper Gordon Banks
– Highlights of Ryan Shawcross and other recent stars
– A tribute to Sir Stanley Matthews, the Hanley-born icon revered across generations
