Joe Allen stunned many when he inked a long-term deal with the Potters following his stunning Euro 2016 showing for Wales.

Adored by Liverpool supporters for his tenacious and tireless approach to the game, Jurgen Klopp surprisingly allowed the midfielder to leave the Club for £13m after four years at Anfield.

Since his move to North Staffordshire, Allen has become an essential part of the Potters’ midfield under five managers.

The Welshman’s almost ever-present record at the bet365 Stadium has seen him make over 200 appearances in red and white stripes.

On the eve of the 2021/22 season, Allen was named captain of Stoke City.
