Stoke City in the Premier League!
What better time to look at some classic retro football shirts from my favourite club.
Stoke born and bred, Stanley Matthews returned to the Club in 1961 at the tender age of 46 to play for a further 4 seasons before retiring at the age of 50, he later claimed he retired too early! I grew up in an era when he was a god to those of us who aspired to play the game. He was a true gentleman and we shall never see his like again.

1972 League Cup Final victory over Chelsea. The scoreline remained level for much of the second half, until the cup fairytale came true for George Eastham. With just under twenty minutes remaining, Eastham capitalised on Bonetti's parry to lift the ball past the stranded keeper, and cap a tremendous season for the old campaigner.
