Stoke City boss Tony Pulis says it's important to maintain the culture and history of the club.
He took time out this week to visit Terry Conroy, scorer of the first goal against Chelsea, as he is recovering from a vascular aneurism.
Conroy is normally a familiar figure at the Britannia Stadium and the training ground but others also hold still Stoke dear to their hearts.
Pulis, in his second spell at the club, said: "I went round to see Terry as he has been brilliant since I first came here and we wish him well.
"A lot of the lads pop in. Banksy (Gordon Banks), Denis Smith, Jimmy Greenhoff, Mike Pejic. If they want to come in for a cup of tea, have a bit of lunch and watch us train, they don't have to ring up. It is lovely to see people who still care for this club."
