About: 1961–62 Stoke City F.C. season

An Entity of Type: soccer club, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The 1961–62 season was Stoke City's 55th season in the Football League and the 22nd in the Second Division. Attendances were now at a worrying all-time low and so the Stoke board and manager Tony Waddington decided something needed to be done to bring the supporters back to the Victoria Ground. And Waddington pulled off a master stroke after paying £3,000 to Blackpool for the returning 46-year-old Stanley Matthews. Crowds instantly arrived in large numbers with Matthews first match back against Huddersfield Town more than 35,000 turned up a good 15,000 more than the last home match. Stoke could not sustain a push for promotion, but the feeling around the club had changed dramatically.
