Stoke City history

Every Stoke City season 442ball holds a table for, newest first. Our record starts in 2008 and is thinner before 2014, so this is what we hold rather than the club's complete history.

League finishes

League seasons only, newest last. Cup group stages are left out: a place in a group of four is not a finish in a league. Each point links to that season's table.

A position in a group stage is a position within that group, not a finish in the competition. Seasons still being played are marked.

Each club's own leaders for that season, not the competition's. A player who moved mid-season counts only what they did here. Clean sheets are counted for goalkeepers who played.
