The Stoke striker, who faces Brighton on Monday, was labelled West Brom’s answer to Harry Kane but is yet to score for his club. Will his touch ever return?

Amazingly Skybet still have him scoring at 5/2, first or last 7/1, 20/1 brace & 150/1 hattrick.

Didn't a Stoke striker score a hat-trick last time we played them?

We lost to them in one of the cups a few years back, but I can't remember the score, or whether anybody scored a hat-trick. They may have, for all I know - or not. Sorry!

Adam (?) Rooney.

Wasn't it the last game of a Withdean season? The players basically decided they couldn't be arsed- which was of course up to them, but I remember being distinctly angry about it at the time (thinking if us fans had known they wouldn't give a shit, then we could at least have not bothered turning up either).

Pretty sure we also got spanked by Stoke in the last home game of a Goldstone season, late 1980s or early 1990s. I could be wrong, but I have a vague memory of two or three thousand Stoke fans turning up, many in beachwear fancy dress (presumably they'd either got promoted or relegated that year) and basically taking the piss as they hammered us.

Edit: just found it. It was 1990 and they'd finished bottom of Division Two by some distance. We finished 18th. They beat us 4-1.

I saw this article on the Guardian website this morning and also thought I'd lump on large to score on Monday! Disappointed at the odds on offer though

5-1 in the Withdean game. I think Loft scored for us. Was the most bizarre atmosphere of any game I've been to, and really enjoyable in a comedy sense. By their 4th most of the Brighton fans were cheering, and for their 5th they stayed silent as we cheered. When we got the consolation they started chanting you're gonna win 6-5.

Did Rooney score with only one boot for their 3rd or 4th?

Last time I remember us playing them was in the cup and losing 3-0. I watched it at that sports bar/venue at Piccadilly Circus.
