What convinced Aaron Cresswell that Stoke City was the right move? The answer involves dedicated recruitment work, genuine care from Jon Walters and other keystaff, and a chance encounter with a mystery supporter sporting some impressive Potters themed ink! In an engaging conversation, the experienced left-back joins the podcast to discuss the stories of his stellar career, his summer switch to the bet365 Stadium and what drew him to the Potters. From the time and effort that the club invested in convincing him to join, to feeling like destiny was calling upon spotting a Stoke City tattoo at the airport, Cresswell reflects upon the factors that influenced his decision to make the move to ST4. The defender also reflects upon how becoming a father has given him a new perspective on the sacrifices parents make, with Cresswell now understanding firsthand the dedication his own dad showed in handling difficult conversations, as well as ferrying him to training sessions and matches throughout his youth.
