On This Day


The Kalamazoo Kid

Recommended Posts

24th August, noticed the following entry :-

On this day

  • 1982 Stoke City sign Mark Chamberlain and Mark Harrison for a fee of £135,000.

I remember being absolutely gutted when seeing The Sentinel sandwich-board headlines reporting this in the middle of Hanley while out shopping with my parents.

Was devastating that 2 of our top players (maybe THE best 2 players?) had been sold, but not only that, sold down the road (rather than river!)

It proved to be an acceptable decision, as the fee allowed us to buy big Bob Newton (and Geoff Hunter?) and just over 8 months later genius John McGrath led us to promotion.

A sad day, then ultimately happy days!

And before Christmas ‘82 he was playing (and scoring) for England at Wembley !

I wonder if anyone else has risen from Division 4 to goalscoring England international inside 4 months ?

 

Not even Jamie Vardy.
