Mark Stein: "Coming to Stoke changed my whole being", clearing up THAT Exeter goal and why the Potters fans were "crazy!"

What was the most pivotal point of Mark Stein's career? Stoke City supporters of a certain era will not be surprised by the answer. In a candid and revealing conversation, the former Stoke City forward joins Rob Adcock to talk about the transformative times in his life and how playing for the Potters profoundly impacted his life and career. 

From living with Lou Macari and partnering Wayne “Bertie Biggins”, to tales of triumph under the twin towers and in the league, Stein reflects on moments that will stay with him forever and heaps praise at every juncture on the teammates that helped him shine. 

He also reveals the truth behind that famous goal against Exeter… was it an intentional shot or a mis-hit cross?

The former Potter also pays tribute to Stoke's incredible travelling support, describing the “crazy” passionate fans who followed the team the length and breadth of the land, and how the enormity of derby days against Port Vale dawned on him back in the day.
