The English football club Stoke City has been in the second division of the football clubs. They got them selves promoted to the premier league this year that is 2008- 2009.
They have produced some brilliant footballers in the past, such as the following.
1 Sir Stanley Matthews.
2 Geoff Hurst.
3 Peter Shilton.
4 Gordon Banks.
Sir Stanley Matthews played for England, and in his playing career he never received either a yellow or a red card. The only other English player to do so was Gary Lineker .
Geoff Hurst is the only footballer to score a hat trick in a world cup final. He scored three goals verses West Germany, in the 1966 world cup final at the old Wembley Stadium..
Peter Shilton was a famous goalkeeper for England, and was the goalkeeper during the 1986 world cup . Which saw the Argentinan captain Diego Marodona , score a goal with the help of his hand in the quarter finals. And he then said that it was the hand of god goal. And it is so called even today.
Peter Shilton is the most caped player for England with 126 caps, we must consider that he is a goalkeeper and not a striker.
Gordon Banks was the famous goalkeeper for England in 1966 world cup . But later on around 1970 he lost an eye in car crash ,which sadly ended his football career . But he now works for the Stoke City Club.
