"A compelling modern history which documents every single game ... Lowe's book will evoke a treasure trove of memories ... it contains a myriad of oddball facts to whet the appetite ... At times Lowe pulls no punches." Stoke Sentinel.
"Quite simply, the book deals with all things Stoke City, to excite everyone from the ordinary fan to the hardcore 'Statto' ... You'll start looking through an old season and end up absorbed ... I do not have any qualms in advising you to add this well presented book to your collection ... At 352 pages long, you'll be reading this for a very long time to come." The Oatcake.
"The most successful book launch we have ever staged." Waterstone's, Stoke.
"The read of the week ... [compared to Breedon Books] the presentation of the statistical record has certainly improved ." The Independent.
