"Oatcake Junior Stokies"
By popular demand, this is the page for all Oatcake Junior Stokies,
the future of our great club.
Just click on a picture to see it in full size. BTW, the music is called
'What Have I Done To Deserve This'
ha ha ha.
Ok...this is Samuel Lee, my grandson, son of OldStokiesson and Sharon. Born 13th November 2000, 'Sammo',
as we call him, is a 'millennium Stokie'. How apt considering that word is
associated with success for our team.
Here are my twin grandsons, Mathew and Scott. These two are
starting early as you can see. As a responsible grandfather, I think it's my
duty to teach them from an early age that there is only one team they can
possibly support - Stoke City.
This little lady [another Millennium Stokie]
carries a famous name. She's Hannah Victoria, daughter of 'Farmer's Poetry' off
the Oatcake board and her mum is Helen. She was born on 16th May 2000. Dad [Tim]
wanted to call her Victoria for her first name but mum would have none of it
just in case Tim slipped in 'Ground' for her second name. LOL.
This is Demid, or Zeus as
me and his daddy call him because Demid in Russian is 'Zeus'. His dad is 'Guernsey Dave' and his mum is
Demelza. Zeus was born on 20th February 2001. This young man is destined to be
a rebel with a cause if he's owt like his dad!!!
This is Oliver, son of 'Joe in Oz', and
Nancy. They live in Brisbane in Oz where Joe and Nancy settled about 5 or 6
years ago. Oliver was born 6th July 1997.Hopefully, one day, Joe, Nancy and Oliver will come over and visit
us. That'll be an IBPU to remember!!!
This is Kavanagh aged two,
youngest son of 'It's_me_Hoody' and Sharon. He was named by his elder Brother, Jamie,
who is below. Kavanagh is a poorly little man [he has a major heart defect] and
is a frequent visitor to ward 110 at the North Staffs and Birmingham Children's
Hospitals but always has a smile on his face. Here he is with Mum Sharon. He's already been to see Stoke but fell asleep
during the second half - he's a proper Stokie then eh! Good luck young master
Kavanagh and here's wishing you well for the future from all Stokie's I'm sure.
Don't you just want to hug
him? I do.
This is Jamie, Kavanagh's elder brother and
eldest son of Sharon and 'It's_me_Hoody'. Here he is pictured as a Stoke Mascot for the
Oldham game last year. Jamie is eight so is just about at that age where
he starts to become addicted. We've all been there so let's just hope that he
has a better next ten years than the last ten. I think he's going to be lucky.
This is Victoria who is
five years old. She's the daughter of Debra and 'Les Alanos' off the Oatie board and
another smashing addition to our growing collection. She's the second young lady
on here and the second one with the name, 'Victoria'. Now I wonder why that
is???? I'm beginning to wonder if all the daughters of Stokies have the same
name!
Thomas is the youngest child of Debra and 'Les Alanos'
and he's two years old. He's far better looking than his dad. He and Victoria
also happen to be two children who are very close to some people who are very
close to a member of my own family. That might be double dutch to some people
but we know what it means don't we Les.
George and Joseph are the two children of grey_man and Therese.
They feature elsewhere in my 'kiddies section' too but I particularly like them
here in the red and white of our famous football team. Looks like they enjoy
other things besides Stoke City!
