Frank Fielding – Potters’ Picks: Surprise Selections, Proper Grounds & A Classic 4‑4‑2

Stoke City goalkeeper Frank Fielding joins Rob Adcock for a brilliantly unpredictable edition of Potters’ Picks. And true to form, his all-time XI is packed with personality and stories of the characters which make up a team from the stopper’s career.Opting for a classic 4‑4‑2, Fielding digs into a career spent across the Premier League and EFL to assemble a team full of leaders and cult heroes. You can expect:

A surprise choice in goal based on years of shared dressing‑rooms

A centre‑back pairing featuring a born leader and a future England international

A midfielder whose pre‑match routine is the stuff of legend

A winger whose raw talent never stopped turning heads

And a front line featuring two forwards with totally different, but equally unforgettable, stories

Frank also picks the perfect ‘proper’ football ground to host his dream match, debates the essentials of a matchday kiosk (including a passionate case for Bovril), and reveals the one type of pie he absolutely will not entertain. Full of warmth, nostalgia and typical Fielding humour, this episode offers Stoke fans a brilliant insight into the teammates, tales and moments that shaped his journey.If you enjoy the episode, don’t forget to leave a review or share it with a fellow Stokie.
