"West Brom.. We Always Beat West Brom"

Saturday's latest victory over our West Midlands rivals continued our incredible run against the Baggies in recent years. It's now been 26 years since West Brom won at Stoke, and have only won once against the Potters in the last 24 league matches between the two clubs. We look back at some of the more memorable wins against the Baggies.


Stoke City 4-3 West Brom (19-9-1992)
An absolute classic at the old Victoria Ground as Stoke come back from 3-1 down to win 4-3 with a late Ian Cranson header.

West Brom 1-2 Stoke City (23-1-1993)

8000 Stokies packed into the away end at the Hawthornes as a double from the great Mark Stein saw the Potters do the double over our promotion rivals on the way to the title.

Stoke City 2-1 West Brom
(4-5-1997)
The last ever league game at the Vic saw a fitting end with another win over the Baggies. Gerry McMahon and Graham Kavanagh scored the goals for Stoke but it was West Brom striker Andy Hunt who had the honour of scoring the last ever league goal at the famous old ground.

Stoke City 4-1 West Brom (4-5-2004)

Already promoted West Brom arrived in Stoke for a re-arranged game after high winds caused what is still the only postponment at the Britannia Stadium to date. Having acheived a rare win over the Potters at the Hawthornes earlier in the season, West Brom were confident of ending the hoodoo but were sent packing with goals from Darel Russell, Gifton Noel-Williams and two from the impressive Kris Commons in the driving Britannia rain.

West Brom 1-3 Stoke City (7-4-2007)

Needing a win to stay in the hunt for the play-offs Stoke destroyed the Baggies with a breath taking first half display. Goals from the untouchable Ricardo Fuller, on-loan John Parkin and an own goal from Jonathan Greening gave Stoke a 3-0 lead after only 22 minutes.

Stoke City 3-1 West Brom (22-12-2007)
The table-topping Baggies had no answer again to Ricardo Fuller who produced arguably his finest moment in the red and white with a stunning hat-trick. A magical individual effert for the third, a particular highlight of a memorable win.

Stoke City 10-3 West Brom (4-2-1937)
We were even beating the Baggies on black and white television, this result remains Stoke City's biggest ever victory in a competative game.
