In this episode of Potters' Pod, Rob Adcock is joined by our former defender and current U21 coach, Ryan Shawcross.
Ryan reflects on how his time at Stoke City began under Tony Pulis and how a squad full of players with something to prove helped define the team's gritty identity.
He reveals ways in which the Championship is actually tougher than the Premier League, opens up about the whirlwind of being called up to the England squad at just 21 and why both Pulis and Mark Hughes were the right managers at the right time.
He also recounts the terrifying presence of Fabio Capello, the mythical magic of Rory Delap's long throw, FA Cup and European adventures and how the Potters' family supported him during the toughest moments of his career.
Part Two is on the way soon, so make sure you're subscribed to Potters' Pod to get notified when the next episode is released!
