GREAT DAY: My wife and I had a great day out at the

Britannia on Saturday, saluting the true Stoke City and England

legend Gordon Banks. It was great to see local people as well

as celebrities turn out to see the well deserved unveiling of

the Banksy statue. I could not help, however, noticing another

Stoke City legend availing himself to the crowd along the

length of the lower west stand signing autographs for as many

who wanted them. What an absolute gent Mike Pejic is. An act

more noticeable because he was the only celebrity guest to do

so. At the age of 58 playing in the match and giving of himself

unselfishly to the crowd, Mike also has a special place in the

hearts of Stoke City fans. All together now: One Mike Pejic,

there's only one...
