Maybe not a favourite memory per se but my earliest memory of things Stoke related, was being in the Boothen, aged about 7, and we were playing Pompey (my first match) and either Razor or Sheron scored, then my father scared the **** out of me by picking me up and jumping me up and down. It was crazy stuff for me as I was only an ickle child at the time.
In March 2004 I think it was, I witnessed a largely uneventful game when we beat Ipswich 2-0, but there was a wonderful moment when the Dutch Master himself Peter Hoekstra did a Cruyff turn near the corner flag on the right wing near the Boothen.
One moment i'll never forget is the moment the whistle blew on Sunday May 4th 2008 when we drew 0-0 with Leicester securing promotion. I just remember seeing the hero that is Richard Cresswell, fall to his knees with both arms in the air, it was such an enduring image, one i'll never forget. Had great fun that day, remembering singing with my brother on the pitch, "There's only one Peter Coates" and "Who the **** is Cristiano?" Below is me with my brother on that day

I'm on the right. I ended up framing that picture and it is hung on my wall, to always remind me of one of the most special days of my life.
I could choose a few moments during our time in the premier league, a couple would involve our 2 victories over Arsenal, but 2 during our first season spring to mind. I remember being picked up from Cricket practice on the day we played Villa away and I heard from my father that we were 2-0 down so I thought it was over. Got home, checked my phone and saw Ryan scored last minute to make it 2-1 and I thought "decent effort against a good Villa side." Then a roar came from next door (someone who lives next door is a Stokie) I thought "you've got to be kidding me." I checked my phone and we had equalised!!! Unbelievable feeling. Another moment for that season was the immense pride I felt when Alan Hansen singled us out after our crucial 1-0 over Boro at the Britannia in late March of that season. He said, "I'm a massive fan, for honesty, for work rate, for making the best of what you've got, and don't cry when things are going badly for you. Pulis has done a fantastic job to keep them going." So so proud.
Last season, we played Man City in the 5th Round Replay on my 21st birthday, which we of course won 3-1 in extra time. My brother said to me at the end of Extra Time, "Happy Birthday mate", happy birthday indeed.
This season, the dramatic wins over Villa and Sunderland were special moments. Plus Tunny's goal against United and Fuller's versus Birmingham were wonderful moments as well.
Sorry for the long response.
Good times.
I remember exactly where I was, listening to 909 FM on the radio in the middle of a forest, trying to get signal on my mobile (FAIL), listening to the fuzziness trying to work out what the score was.
Twins?
I was thinking you were the younger one on the photo, I just didn't want to offend. 
1-0 to us!!
