Ryan Shawcross

Anyone listening to Sport at 6 on Radio Stoke. Anyone would think he’s the second coming of Christ. Pass me the sick bag 🤮

[Joe B]

He's no better than John McCombe but played in a 442 Pulis side with Huth next to him and 4 rottweilers in front of him.

You'd think he'd passed away from the outpouring. Jobbing centre half who stuck at Stoke as no one else was ever going to pay British Sterling for him. Move on.

Never the same after Mike Dean gave a penalty against him for grappling at a corner. That was half of his game gone.

As average as average can be. Loyal yes but he's no Bobby Moore as lard fans are making out. A row Z defender which is all well and good but never in a million years an England player. 

Not sour grapes because Etherington, Begovic, Huth, Fuller were all decent players. 

Shawcross was a very limited footballer who fitted Pulis perfectly.

That back pass against Palace is a fitting way for me to remember him

Fuller, Aranutovic, and Bojan were irritatingly good footballers.

He was great in the air, as he should be for someone his height, and would put his ugly mug in places where some people wouldn't put their foot. He was an absolute donkey whenever the ball was on the floor though.

What I'd give to be 33 again and spend 2 or 3 years playing football in Miami, assuming his wife wants to go and his kids are young enough viz school.

Miami is one incredible place and South Beach is phenomenal.

It says something about the guys intelligence that it took him 14 years to finally come to his senses.

[CAVALIER]

Made Pointless as being one of the highest scorers of og’s in the top league in the world. Plus he’s a <ovf censored> played for a <ovf censored> club and he can piss off. Awful player . 

[Guitar Ray]

Apparently his 16 minutes in an England shirt, v Sweden in 2012, won Ryan a big fan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic......😬

[Mellor!]

Darrell Clarke says he's a <ovf censored>. Flickers says <ovf censored> Stoke.

[valeparklife]

Shawcross appeared to do well playing in a back 6, camped out in their own 18 yard box. Ability wise, a L1/L2 player but thrived with Pulis-ball where no football was ever played.

Bizarrely handed an England call up and was predictably exposed as a fraud.

Shins around the UK can breath a sigh of relief he's gone.

Wasn't that the game where he scored a lob from miles out? Zlatan that is, not Ryan! I could be wrong.

Overhead kick from the half way line.

Good old Ryan flat on his arse.

It's very easy to stay loyal when nobody comes in for you.

In these horrific times it’s so good to see the anti Stoke feelings are still prevalent. My faith in humanity is restored.
