On This Day in Football: Stoke put ten past WBA, Sunderland complete record transfer

On this day in 1937, Stoke City hammered West Bromwich Albion 10-3 in a First Division fixture thus recording their biggest win in the league.

The previous game between the two clubs had ended in 2-2 and only six spots separated the two on the league table with Stoke at 14th and West Brom at 21st, one spot above the bottom.

Led by the legendary Stanley Matthews, Stoke did not waste any time to punish West Brom as Freddie Steele put the home side ahead in the 10th minute.
