- Stoke City Football Club are one of the most historic clubs in the English Football League and even lay claim to being the oldest club in the EFL.
I visited their old home (the Victoria Ground) which is now a housing estate. I also saw the statues of legendary ex-players such as Sir Stanley Matthews & Gordon Banks outside the Bet365 Stadium.

Thank you for the respect you have for our club and history 🔴⚪️
Stoke! Great club. Brilliant fans, a little naughty😅 but good fun.
Also the home of Shelley’s Laserdome!!! Never to be forgotten.
Much love and respect to all the stokies from Carlisle.
Much love shellys is missed in stoke dearly great night out Longton has never been the same since it got shut down
Don't forget The Void

One bit of history you missed, in 1888, Harry Lockett who was Stoke's secretary was appointed as the first ever Secretary of the football league. He set up a temporary hq for the Football league in Etruria, Stoke on Trent. The first official correspondence address for the EFL was 8 Parkers Terrace, Etruria, Stoke on Trent. It no longer exists as it was demolished to make way for the A500.
Sir Stanley matthews ashes are buried under the centre circle of the Britannia stadium!
Stoke are an amazing club run by fantastic owners who love the town and the Victoria ground was a fortress not many teams enjoyed coming to the Vic
Fantastic video to watch.
I was born & raised in Stoke on Trent. The city sometimes gets bad/negative press in the media so it's good to see your video talking about Stoke City FC as well as the city itself in a positive light.
Up the Potters!
Ccooommmeee oonnnn ssstttooookkkeeee
@@quacktato674 I found it hilarious how it gave me the option translate your msg to English🤣
I was born and still live in stoke
Same here I was born in Stoke on Trent and as you said we get pressed in the media
I was hoping the Victoria Ground would be an abandoned stadium. Despite not having won many trophies Stoke City has a fascinating history. Stanley Matthews was still playing professional football when he was 50. A player you didn't mention was Peter Shilton. Very impressive for a relatively modest club to produce two England goalkeepers.
Should have kept Farmer and bought Osgood, Shilton the first player to have his sell on amount stipulated in his contract.
It's a discrace what our council have done with the old ground.
They didn't produce two goalkeepers both were purchased from Leicester City.

72 League cup winners , 2 auto glass trophy winners
Nice to hear a neutral praise our club for once! Great video mate 👍🏻
Great vid! Stoke City is a classic English football club.
Good that the old ground is remembered.
The Victoria Ground was always an enjoyable visit and a terrific side .
Dennis Smith was a super centre half in a fine side, with John Ritchie, Gordon Banks.. Later, when they bought Shilton, Hudson, Salmons, they were not too far off winning the league in 74/75.
The Wizard of the Dribble himself, Sir Stanley Matthews - that's the mark of a great player I think, when generations as far removed as ours still know his name, and know exactly how good he was.
Great video mate! You're knowledge and respect for other clubs is impeccable! Nice to hear people giving us something other than hate 🔴⚪
I used to work at the old ground as the assistant groundsman. From the early 90s until I moved to Derby County in 97. To be honest I wish I had stayed at Stoke as its the team I support but at the time Derby were a Premier league side. Great memories of working there though. Paul Ware was a player at the time around the Lou Macari days. The old ground was dilapidated but the atmosphere was out of this world. I was lucky enough to have met Stanley Matthew's and Gordon Banks and they were proper down to earth as well. Matthew's actually lived round the corner from my house growing up.
Great video mate, thank you ✌️ 😎
Great video mate. Love your respect for all clubs. Stokie living in the USA.
I remember the whole of my primary school being taken out of class to watch sir Stanley Matthews funeral procession on Hartshill road!
And Gordon Banks was a regular at the clinic I worked at before he passed away, he was such a gentleman, whenever he came it was a day trip for him with all the older men eager to reminisce and he was always happy to sit and chat and shake hands! Wonderful man!
I was the assistant groundsman at the old ground, the atmosphere was electric there. We actually had Gordon Banks and Peter Shilton at the same time. I was lucky enough to have met most of the old greats and they were all proper down to earth, you could talk to them like you had known them for years. We are very proud of our history at Stoke. Great video, thank you. ✌️😎
They deserved a lot more respect when Pulis was there!
yesss thanks for doing a video on my favorite club!! as i'm american i'm going to my first stoke game this boxing day so i'm even more excited now
I am a stoke fan and the stadium stands are all named same as the old Victoria ground stands where called. Like boothen end because of the street called boothen Street where the old Victoria ground was.
And stoke had the oldest ground in the country until moving to the bet355 stadium.
I am born in stoke. Live near stoke. Been to many games. Family support stoke. Liverpool fan myself. Bet365 great atmosphere. The potters. Saw places that I have been to and past many times before in this vid!
plastic suport ur local
gloryhound
very interesting, I think you're right that they lost a lot with the ground move. Banks and Matthews without doubt legends
Great video and you seemed to really enjoy the history and what stoke have done.
The Victoria ground was a amazing place.
The atmosphere was very intimidating for away teams and very loud.
Sad times when they decided to move to the bet365 stadium but times change.
Stoke city do a lot for the community and local charities, they have also invested quite a lot into the club, including a category 1 training ground.
First video I have seen of yours Sam.
Subscribed.
Excellent video as always, great to see us getting the coverage! 😁
“100 times better atmosphere at the old ground” wow, I’ve been to the ground as an away fan and it’s a wall of noise that hit us. True it was in the Premier league when they were doing well, playing directly like launching the ball in from throw ins accompanied with a “whoosh!” by the fans. Noisiest ground I’ve ever been to, Anfield excepted, but I always go in home ends there. Stoke were LOUD!!!
But it brought out our fans voices too to make a great atmosphere, so may have been an anomaly, as it was Blackburn, who were also doing well at the time, both with a chance of European football (which Rovers achieved 2-3 times). Hughes was manager, Pulis obviously Potters manager.
You forgot to mention Sir Stan and his involvement with teams in South Africa. He is still revered in some parts of Jo'burg.
Brilliant post young man. You portrayed SCFC in a positive way. You should have contacted SCFC and got them involved !
Thanks for all your hours and steps walking , a really great video.
I live in Texas, USA. Born in the Boothen , saw games in the 70s against Chelsea , the League cup,
You did a really great video mate ! Brought some extra honor to SCFC , not that Potters need it ! I subscribed !
What an interesting video, I'm a potters fan and you did our team & city proud! Thankyou
i made the Reginald Mitchell sign outside the museum for a business called Weston signs that used to be across the road when I was 18 years old. My only slight claim to fame I will ever have but am immensely proud of.
Great video yet again , one thing am proud of is that my late mother was one of the tea ladies from 1968 to 1975 .I was very lucky to have met up with some footballing greats - Best , Law , Charlton Man Utd . Stoke had some big names back then such as Gordon Banks , Dennis Smith , Terry Conroy , George Eastham , Alan Hudson , Geoff Hurst jus to name a few At 19:04 to the right of the white van is a head and shoulders bust of another great Stoke player " John Ritchie " [ RIP ] one of Stokes great number 9s. Again I was lucky enough to get to know Big John later in life at his local Golf Club to hear some of his footballing stories and having a pint with him was absolutely mind blowing. Yet again another top quality video .
Thanks for the respectful video about Stoke mate,it makes a refreshing change from the usual nasty posts from outsiders I've seen when posting opinions on how players should think about Stoke as regards transfers
Thanks for doing a vlog about my club, great video. You missed another statue, a bronze bust of John Ritchie, a local lad who was Stoke City’s top goal scorer with 176 goals in 351 appearances between 1962-75. It is on a plinth behind the Boothen End, which was opposite the Mathews statue.
exceptional video Proud Of our History And the great people of Stoke On Trent, Thanks for sharing
Brilliant..im a Stokie...very proud history....Sir Stanley Matthews...enough said....thanks for the video..nice one
Lovely to see my home town featured buddy thank you very much for the positive spin on the city and county
You’re a legend for covering stoke! 🔴⚪️ utp
Cheers jack. Hopefully I can come and see them play soon!!
@@FootyAdventures block 37! 🔴⚪️I’ll come say Aup 📸 ⚽️
Really enjoyed this vid.
Great knowledge .
I have been a Stokie since 1968 ish.
Always hope for us to get it together and get into that premiership.
Hope to see Stoke back in the top division where they belong soon!!
Fantastic- well researched and historical accurate. Love his videos.
This was a really nice video as a long-suffering Stoke fan who supports from Leeds now. Born and raised in Stoke and it's nice for our club to get some love, I think we get a bad rep due to the scrappy Pulis era. Also nice for someone to do so much research and invest time and effort into a video like this. You've got a new subscriber
Potter living and working in Leeds also 👍
Brilliantly positive video on our beloved club.. Refreshing change so thanks 😁🔴⚪
One of my favourite respective footballing clubs daily and ever in this world and other planets,Stoke City are a smaller club but fantastic history which you have documented well in your video and I like their style of football at times to create a loud atmosphere around the stadium but the old Victoria Stadium was well redeveloped into a housing area,good friend Sam!!!LONG LIVE,STOKE CITY!!!🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️🏋♂️
Thanks for the excellent unbiased video and a bonus point for mentioning Mabel! 👏
Great vid mate , I’m a stoke fan but never got the chance to watch them at the Victoria because I’m to young but wish I could it looked insane !
Thanks for showing our team and city in such a good light. Proud to be a Potter. Great video.
Fantastic video mate. Really nice to see you showing more to stoke than just the old it's a crap hole tag. Stoke city is a footballing community and always has been. Rich in heritage as well as great minds that helped the war effort ie R. Mitchell thanks again.
Sam respects every club/ground he visits, whether it's Manchester City on a European night or a non-league club in the Scottish Highlands.
We get so much negativity in Stoke.. but things we've had in Stoke Is so fascinating. Pottery. Gordon Banks 1966 World Cup winner.. Peter Shilton. Stanley Mathew's.. the 1972 league cup winners.. the Victoria ground.. we beat Manchester utd 2/1 on a cold wet and windy night.. lou macari.. nello was appointed as kit man by macari and gave nello a chance.. we later moved to bet 365.. and 10 years in premier league. There's lots of stories ppl can go on about.. but we are the mighty potters. Scfc till I die .
Brilliant video mate. Glad you’ve covered us. 👏🏻
Ipswich town needed 👀👀👍 love the videos mate and love my football history
North midlands but we dont consider outselves midlanders more northen because we have a twinch of a northen accent
I have always had a soft spot for Stoke, as I have visited many times for football and Northern soul events over many years.
Great content as always Sam.Have not seen anyone on here doing the same stuff better than you.Your simply the best from a gers fan.😂🇬🇧
Brilliant video, so glad you've done a video on my club, UTMP🔴⚪
I was so close to moving onto 66 Freddie steel Street, unfortunately it fell through. Nice to see content creators shedding light onto the history of stoke.
My team is absolutely the Potters, Come on STOKE!🔴⚪🔴⚪
awesome video. i recently found out that my great uncle James "Jimmy" Sayer played for stoke city in 1889-90
Brilliant, really enjoyed that. Stoke City the only football team in the world with a flag in space thanks to Tim Peake.
There was a time in the late 90s and early 2000s when teams instead of rebuilding their own stadiums built new ones and it shows in similar designs of grounds. As a stoke supporter I stood on the Boothern end at the old vic ground and sat in the new Brit Stadium and I can safely say I would have rebuilt the old vic ground and kept that atmosphere and the location as well.
Also, the area where the old vic stood was vacant for 20 odd years before rebuilding started. So if you had visited pre pandemic it would have looked completely different.
Also, also, why is the Gordon banks statue in his England kit and raising the World Cup? Well, the sculptor wanted the statue to reside in Leicester (the team he was playing for at the time) but apparently they did not want it, so Stoke jumped at the chance of having it when asked next.
Brilliant video! Only thing missed really is by The Boothen End there is a small statue in honour of John Ritchie our all time leading goalscorer
Shoutout From Kenya. I love your work. Maybe you should plan a trip down to Africa and visit one of our biggest Clubs in Kenya. GOR MAHIA or AFC LEOPARDS.
I would LOVE that!! Thank you so much for watching. I hope one day I can come and make videos in Africa
Great vid, subbed
Fantastic watch well done mate
As a Port Vale fan this was a difficult watch😅
No mention of Mark Chamberlain, there greatest ever player :)
Nice to see you watching a Stoke video, what league are the Vale in nowadays?
@@leoncarney2228 vale still seem to be a thorn in stoke fans sides
Great vid, another fun fact about our current ground is that Sir Stanley Matthew’s Ashes we’re buried under the center circle spot 👍
Quality video this mate 👍🏽
Pride of the midlands
Great video although you did miss out the Stanley Mattews statue in Hanley, walking distance from the potteries museum but a great video all the same, well done,
Very interesting. I recall watching that 1972 League Cup Final live on TV when I was 9 years old and being amazed that Stoke beat Chelsea. Members of that team like Denis Smith, Terry Conroy & Jimmy Greenhoff made a big impression on me that day as I started my knowledge of football outside the very top clubs of the time like Liverpool, Leeds & Arsenal. But the most famous player that day was not even Gordon Banks, but George Eastham, who started his pro career at newcastle in the 50s and also played for Arsenal in the early 60s before joining The Potters in 1966, scoring the winner at Wembley six years later at a sprightly 35 years old - not quite Stanley Matthews though !
please could you visit the antelope ground which was the first ever home of my team southampton in 1885, you could also visit st. Mary's church where they were founded that same year, and the former site of their iconic stadium the dell? Thanks!!
Fantastic mate,thanks
Sir Stanley Mathews ashes are buried under the centre circle at the bet 365 stadium and in Hanley you can find the house he grew up in with a plaque
Great vid and great club. You hear these fans talking re history, Stoke have more history than any other club. Took Stoke a long time to redevelop the old ground area.
I've been to the Bet365 twice with Tranmere. A very nice stadium
3.32 minutes in…. That’s my old house 3 years ago, I painted those gates from the hideous red everyone else had to brown.
And of course…. City fan here!! 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️
Brilliant video.
Oh Fantastic, "Mabel Smith walk" Mabel was my best friends Nana.
A few years ago me and a few mates went to Stoke not on a match day but 3 were RAF Vets and placed flowers in the memory of Reginald Mitchell and then we went to the Roy Brown statue to lay respects to him - footy is not discriminatory
My mum sold those new builds where the old Victoria ground was, not sure when you filmed but she would of been in the office if it was a few moths ago.
Also Gordon Banks used to live in the same village as me called Madeley, we used to kick our balls into his back garden do we could knock in the door to get them back lol.
Good video too btw.
That was really good mate ! Up the rip roaring potters me 🦆
as a stoke fan absolutely amazing video, but I can say the atmosphere did not go down when we moved to the brit
I’d say it got better especially in the prem
Been waiting for this one, UTMP
Brilliant my brother 💙👌🏻⚽
Northampton Town (the Cobblers) would be a great video, a lot of the old ground is still there and shoe factory's as well
Hanley Town is now managed by ex Stoke player Carl Dickinson, And Ryan Shotton also plays for them.
Hi Sam I think you will find Worksop Town of the northern premier East division is the world's 4th oldest club.
And ironically they played Sheffield fc last night at home with a 1 - 0 victory.
my home town and club i support. paul ware got us to wembley in 1992, scored a cracker at peterbrough in the autoglass trophy.
I went to the old Victoria ground in the 70s it was a classic old ground 👍
Thanks for the content
Stoke is very definitely in the Midlands. I was taken on a school trip to see the Victoria Ground in the mid 1980s. All I remember as child of about 6 is the high perimeter fences round the pitch and the large number of washing machines used by the kitman. Why such young kids were taken to look at a football ground some distance away I'll never know, although the fact Peter Fox (popular Stoke goalkeeper at the time for those who might not know now) lived round the corner from the school may have had something to do with it. I never saw a game there, I don't support them but my sister does (I don't support Vale either, I'm neutral on Potteries football). Stoke's claim to oldest is contentious and the EFL don't recognise their claim to be formed in 1863. 1868 seems more likely. However they are a very old club either way.
gordon banks/peter dobie/eric skeels/dennis bloor/george eastham/john ritchie/ to name just a few from yesteryear
There's also a statue of Sir Stan in Hanley town centre, and a plaque on the house he was born in (Selwyn Street).
Excellent video..slightly off key but in around Addiscombe near Croydon have 1984s Olympic athletes name roads ...Eg Christie..Saunderson and Regis
Thanks for confirming we are the oldest football league club following Notts County's relegation, Forest tried to claim it...
I saw Brigg Town on that list. might be worth checking out. Some other Stoke legends Peter Shilton, Alan Hudson and George Eastman. I visited both the Victoria and the Bet365 and both are/were grounds with good atmosphere but parking near the Victoria was a swamp.
The Victoria ground was probably built when few people had cars. It was a common problem.
Great video! I'm not a football fan but i am a Stokie! I enjoyed listening to the history.
Don't want to troll your channel so wont post here but you will find a drone video i captured around the BET365 stadium on my channel.
Stoke city FC were by far the greatest team stoke city
You’re recognised everywhere you go 😍👏
superb
Leuke vlog 👍
I visited the site while the houses were being built. If I recall correctly the different styles of house were named for former players.
Can you do Hereford united ? The FA cup win against Newcastle and that they were an English club who won the welsh cup
great video
