WHAT A DAY: Jon Walters celebrating his second against Bolton - and how we reported that game at the time.
WE never require much reason to help ourselves to remember Stoke City's 5-0 Wembley pummeling of Bolton however we have a couple today as we dig back in the chronicles.
Next Tuesday, when Stoke tackle Liverpool in the Capital One Cup, it will be their first semi-last subsequent to that well known cloudy April day in 2011.
Furthermore, obviously, it was the apex of Tony Pulis' nine years responsible for the club he will wind up against this evening at West Brom.
There are many photos we could choose, from the thousands lining for tickets back at the Britannia Stadium and a procession of London-bound mentors hung in red and white to a Kenwyne Jones reverse somersault and dumbstruck supporters.
There are flags with messages like "We just score from a toss in" and vintage scarves cleaned off from when the Potters won the League Cup 39 years prior.
Be that as it may, we have plumped for this, of Jon Walters scoring Stoke's fifth and his second.
A weekend ago the Sunday Times recommended Walters was a contender for sportsman of 2015 in the wake of returning from the verge of leaving Stoke to reassert his significance to Mark Hughes; and assuming a noteworthy part as the Republic of Ireland fit the bill for Euro 2016.
"You must buckle down and it pays off at last," he told the Sentinel in the wake of devastating Bolton four-and-a-half years back. "You've generally got the opportunity to have confidence in where you need to be."
The 34,000 Stokies who watched him that day know where they need to be; watching Walters and Co back at Wembley. Do they trust it?
