Book Cover & Preview Text
Captain for the day, Rory Delap, broke up a Bristol attack and Fuller did enough to set Sidibe in the clear. Now, Mamady Sidibe breaking through one-on-one with the goalkeeper is not a sight that fills most Stokies with great confidence. Despite his excellent work rate, his finishing is pretty poor to say the least. When he calmly slotted the ball past the advancing Basso, the shock quickly turned into an almighty mental. Get in there!! We are going up!!

About the Book
“Back Where We Belong” is a supporter’s unique view of the promotion winning season of English football club Stoke City.

Littered with memorable photographs, there are tales of meeting other supporters- some strange, some normal- goals, misses, laughs and of course, the celebrations! Getting wrapped up in the emotion, you re-live every kick of the season all over again- slowly culminating in the most important match in Stoke City’s history- Leicester City at home. Remember all the joys of invading the pitch yourself, or simply watching it on TV and read defender Andy Wilkinson’s views of what promotion meant to him.
It is a season never to be forgotten so remember it in the best way possible with “Back Where We Belong”
