That tactic worked with Stoke’s crazy physical team of tall lads: Robert Huth, Ryan Shawcross, Kenwyne Jones, Peter Crouch, etc. Bergovic who was Stoke keeper at that time joked that he didnt need to come out to collect a corner in two years.
Myhill escaping Rory's long throw is so funny. Epic! Football back then was so much fun. Beckham's free kick, Rory's long throw, we have Crouch super tall guy. Everyone is so unique.
It's 01.43 and I'm chuckling away at the toure one. The league was so much better for the diversity of styles, absolutely embarrassing watching championship clubs come up trying to be mini pep man city's. The boaz my myhill kick out for a corner is iconic. The trajectory on them throws was something else!
I don’t understand why there wasn’t a new respect for the throw in after delap. Had that throw in technique come from a top club winger (giggs, bale) we would have seen a new generation obsessed with the throw in and be witnessing an entirely different game.
I’ve often wondered this. I’ve played with four guys in the last decade who can launch a ball 30-40 yards and while that’s not as far or flat as Delap it can’t be that rare.
I went to a Sunderland -Stoke match at the Stadium of Light and was just in awe of the throw. He did one throw from near the halfway line and got so much distance it got to the box. Absolutely incredible
Totally agree. I'm an arsenal guy. Wenger's proposition have no sense and connection with football that we know and love today, it would change the game completely and unpredictably, and in the end, dramatically. Not a fan of that.
Thanks so much for publishing this, I think my Dad in particular thought this was a brilliant strategy and play from Stoke whenever it came up on MOTD or otherwise, nice to have a single collection of podcast interviews, highlights, clips etc.. all in one, in high quality.
I 'chaperoned' a few teams to Villa Park many years ago to watch Villa v Stoke. A couple of the coaches were ex internationals, one played for Inter in the late '80s. It was 1-0 to Villa. Late in the game, Delap hurled a ball from just inside the Villa half, packed area and Kenwyn Jones leapt highest and scored. Coach turned around and said to me in broken English - "this not football, this sh*t".
Maybe its because i was watching league 1 leeds around this time and not facing it every season but i think these are almost works of art to watch. Barclays heritage.
I’ve never seen Rory Delap do anything with his feet lol. I don’t even know what position he plays, and what he’s like on the pitch - he’s just an absolute beast with his arms lol
Everyone who liked this one should see this clip of a match from 1993 between Halmstad and Helsingborg. Roger Eriksson had a special throw aswell. Unbelievable idea. 2:10 is the time in the clip
One thing that I only notice in retrospect is how few players stoke had in the box. They had 3 men deep in the box and another 2 in and around. That is a level of attacking efficiency that most managers would perform dark rites to Cthulu for. It lets them keep men back to be secure and also forces the opposition into a dilemma of choosing to bring all there players back and giving stoke possession to just hoof in crosses or leave players up and risk being out gunned in the box. And to top it off, you get so many more throw ins that corners and free kicks in a game that you get so many opportunities to practice those attacking movements whereas the opponent only gets the couple games against stoke a season to practice defending it. Actually remarkable tactics from Pulis.
Thinking back to the days when stoke were rated literally the most physical team and the tallest on average in the premier league 🤔 Playing at their home ground, a nightmare fixture for any club
Problem was they took the physical too far. Very dirty team, lots of fouls. Some players got badly injured there. If not for that, I'd admire them, they decided to play a different way and it worked.
3:37 this is the best angle to demonstrate exactly how you achieve the ideal long throw in. I haven’t seen anybody replicate this technique in English football since De Lap. Most long throws float up in the air and then slowly loop back down. Because of this, the keeper may have a chance to rush out and claim the ball, the defenders have time to best position themselves to win the header and if the attacker wins the header they still have to generate power as well as diection in order to score the header. This type of long throw however has a much flatter trajectory (more like a straight flight rather than arching up and looping down) it therefore doesn’t lose speed and only needs to be glanced by a head in order to cause chaos in the box. Teams really should practice this and try to build a player up to be a long throw specialist like Rory was because ultimately if you can pull it off, you can get a goal scoring chance from nothing.
They're better than a corner. Corners are often looped and easier for the other team to claim. This is like a catapult into the box with incredible speed and accuracy. Any touch causes mayhem
I never took football too seriously but could launch a fabulous throw (was also a javelin thrower, I even used the overhead throw in basketball to good effect). I always wondered why this one tiny aspect of the game had not been exploited, especially considering the work done on corner strategies. It could also be largely my ignorance that I'd never really seen it pushed to it's limits in the professional game. I am not an avid viewer. It was very interesting to see the theory in practise however.
I knew stoke had work on this in training. But it used to be so scary as the opposing team fan as i knew there was a prepared set piece that is basically untrainable.
@@AltairBernard definitely. I am also ambidextrous by force (broke me left hand in 3 places and I had to do everything with my right for so many months it became natural). Now I have 2 hands with delicate control.
It surprised me that Leicester were the 5000-1 title winners 15/16 I had a bet on stoke if anyone could of won the league like that it could of been stoke

Was going to say the same
Yeah head to defend a good long throw they like a good corner every time
Lies again? Harvard University Tiger Beer

They made it further than Spurs in that tournament.

Great stuff, talk about fear and panic in the box...loved the clip of the keeper who'd rather give a corner away than a throw. Priceless.

Good point. It was Stoke and Delap, not ManU and Beckham throwing them in like that.

Tbh, team like Arsenal could utilize this because they already have great other deadball routines.
@@hijisfriend9030 looooooool 800 million to become Stoke
Very few ambidextrous footballers, and usually they're not top players anyway so it's not worth playing someone solely for a throw in
6:00 seing a goalkeeper opt to have a corner rather than a throw in makes me laugh so hard
Arsenal FC liked the Post
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
These well researched, well edited vids you’ve been making recently are top drawer. Thank you for your service to football
the hull player warming up right in front of delap is priceless hahaha teams really feared a delap heat seeking missile
Windass was always like this to be fair, he was a gazza wannabe.

That hull keeper was killing me🤣
I’d be the same 😅 I’m choosing defending a corner over one of those evil throw ins any day of the week
Tactical thinking!
I laughed out loud
It was so terrifying for opposition that Wenger tried to get rid of throw-ins when he took up a position of power.
Totally agree. I'm an arsenal guy. Wenger's proposition have no sense and connection with football that we know and love today, it would change the game completely and unpredictably, and in the end, dramatically. Not a fan of that.
i wanted to see this mamy years! Its a beauty, thanks for this , a whole series of throw in led goals from the sky city, stoke
[10:44] Maradona at the Brittania Stadium watching Stoke v. Liverpool is something out of the Twilight Zone 😅
He was the argentina national team coach at the time,so prob was watching the argentinians at liverpool (Rodríguez and Mascherano if im not wrong)

Have work tomorrow morning and I’ve somehow stumbled across this video at 12am
So pleased I found this, great guy, great days for Stoke
His son plays for Buxton and he’s got it. He’s got the long throw genes 👌🏻
His son plays for Ipswich too didn’t know he had two sons n
As an Arsenal fan, I hated those throw ins from Rory. It was panic in the box everytime. Never seen a guy even come close to matching his skill at it.
Alot lower level but Tommy Tonks in the national league has a throw just like that, causes chaos in packed pen boxes every Saturday at 3pm
Dude been playing since i was in high school, now i have 3 kids and he's still playing, incredible.
Miss that Stoke team in the Prem. He literally scored a goal from his throw WTF 😂

Absolutely loved Kenwyne Jones at Sunderland, was gutted when he went to Stoke
@@bhvillaman4401or from one that gave the world catanaccio and the art of the 1-0 win.
Rumour has it that, to save money, all British satelites since 2011 have just been chucked into space by Rory Delap.
stoke getting a throw in was like having david beckham getting a free kick 😂
The pitch at stoke was also a couple meters narrower than most teams in the league at the time.
That’s hilarious. Like they’re walking into a death trap
Maybe its because i was watching league 1 leeds around this time and not facing it every season but i think these are almost works of art to watch. Barclays heritage.
BRO GOT DEBRYUNE ASSIST NUMBERS WITH HIS HANDS LOL
His throw was a thing of beauty.
THE DELAPIDATOR!! I loved those long throws!! it destroyed weak keepers like almunia and flapianski !! that arsenal game is a classic!
Football was so much more entertaining back then.

he does a forward vault as a wind up before reaching his feet againand doing the throw. Best way i can describe it
Just watched it, hilarious 🤣
This is very very professional art now arsenal taking another level to set pieces
Now his son is an awesome striker
his son is already 1000x the footballer he could ever dream of being
@@mezykin eh? Rory has 500 pro appearances. Cool your jets
Those throw ins were better than corners. How many other players have this ability that’s never been discovered?
Defenders playing for corners when they played Stoke 😂😂
When this man stepped up to take a throw in it was like conceding a corner

why was he there?
@@aprburwkto watch rory delap
@@aprburwk He was watching Mascherano and Maxi Rodriguez
Used to scare the heck out of you when he had a throw in against your team
I have memories of Jim Langley, playing for Fulham at left back. He had a very similar long throw, which, of course, was as good as any corner kick.
love stories like this
Lad must have been fantasy football gold
Still can't get over how insane it is to base your entire attack on long throw ins.
Remember guys, this is the throw that destroy Arsene Wenger.
this mechanic gives uniqueness to the game

The greatest thrower ever in football 😅
Micah said last year, the most difficult stadium to play is at Stoke-on-Trent. This is the reason why.
You guys should check on Pratama Arhan throw in.
This actually bought a smile to my face. It's actually funny watching seasoned pro's conceed to such a basic set piece.
Bro’s throw is better than Dalot’s cross 😭😭
Rory Delap + Crouch + CR7 = goal scoring glitch
AHH Rory delap now there's an effective squad player
He was so good at throw inss they might as well have been corners
They're better than a corner. Corners are often looped and easier for the other team to claim.
This is like a catapult into the box with incredible speed and accuracy. Any touch causes mayhem

Nobody gives athletics the credit it deserves. It's the backbone to almost every sport.
That's literally a corner kick every time when Stoke has the throw-in in the opposition final third
Who is here after Berbatov calling Arsenal the new stoke city

Kids of this generation wouldn’t know about this mammoth throw in
Ilya Samoshnikov from Lokomotiv Moscow makes Delap’s magic ✨
lol At Kalou blocking the throw in 😅
6:08 has to be 😢by funniest part of the video 😂😂😂❤
Check out Megan Campbell, she is on the Irish team and she has a crazy long throw,
He's Indonesia's national team player, Pratama Arhan's inspiration
Bet he could do it on a windy wednesdayevening in Stoke ...
Bro is the reason for the meme
Awesome skill to have
Preferring to give away a corner than a throw in is quite outrageous 😂
Ambidextrous is the ability to use both hands to write etc I think he's talking about being double jointed
He means hyper-mobile
it's definitely an advantage, if you can throw with both hands
It just means equal strength and control in both arms, a great advantage to aim accurately.
Try throwing with your wrong hand. It obviously makes a difference.
@@AltairBernard definitely. I am also ambidextrous by force (broke me left hand in 3 places and I had to do everything with my right for so many months it became natural). Now I have 2 hands with delicate control.
