Stoke City Hoodies, T-Shirts & Clothing | Players Couture

Stoke City occupy a unique and genuinely special place in English football history. The second-oldest professional football club in the world, one of the Football League's twelve founding members in 1888, and the home of Gordon Banks, arguably the greatest goalkeeper England has ever produced and the man whose save from Pele's header at the 1970 World Cup in Guadalajara is the most celebrated piece of goalkeeping in history. Players Couture celebrates the full sweep of Stoke's remarkable story with fanwear built for supporters who understand exactly what their club has contributed to the game.

Gordon Banks and the Greatest Save Ever Made

Gordon Banks made Stoke his home after his World Cup-winning years with England, and his presence at the Victoria Ground through the early 1970s made the Potters a genuine top-flight force. His save from Pele in Guadalajara at the 1970 World Cup, diving to his right to scoop the ball from below his knees and lift it over the bar after Pele had already begun celebrating, has been voted the greatest save of all time by virtually every assessment ever undertaken. Pele himself called it the greatest save he ever saw. Banks is the reason Stoke City commands international recognition among football fans who were born decades after he hung up his gloves.

Sir Stanley Matthews and the Wizard of the Dribble

Sir Stanley Matthews, the Wizard of the Dribble, the first ever Ballon d'Or winner in 1956, and the first footballer to be knighted while still playing, spent the majority of his career at Stoke City, returning to the club in 1961 after his years at Blackpool. At 46 years old he became the oldest player to appear in the First Division, a record that will never be beaten. His dribbling ability, his acceleration at an age when most professionals had retired a decade earlier, and his extraordinary longevity at the top of the game made him a figure of genuine national affection. The statue outside the Bet365 Stadium stands as a permanent reminder of what he meant to this club.

The Premier League Era

Stoke's decade in the Premier League from 2008 to 2018 brought European football via the League Cup final in 2011. Rory Delap's long throws became a national talking point, genuinely unsettling Premier League opponents who had never encountered anything quite like them. Peter Crouch was the most beloved player of the Premier League era at Stoke. His aerial ability, his surprisingly cultured footwork for a man of six foot seven, and his willingness to embrace his own cult status made him a favourite with supporters and neutrals alike across the football world. Ryan Shawcross captained the side with genuine pride and commitment for a decade.

Under Mark Hughes, Stoke grew more ambitious. Xherdan Shaqiri arrived and delivered spectacular goals, including a bicycle kick against Manchester City that became one of the defining moments of his time in the Potteries. Bojan Krkic and Marko Arnautovic added genuine flair to the physical foundations established in the Pulis years.
