Season review

League

In 1892–93 Stoke finally made an impression in the Football League and claimed seventh place in the table. They collected 29 points, 11 more than bottom club Newton Heath, but were 19 points behind champions Sunderland. Ted Evans became the first Stoke player to be sent-off in the league when he received his marching orders in an away match at Everton on 12 November 1892, Stoke held out for a 2–2 draw. Throughout the season manager Arthur Reeves was able to field a settled side which included successful Scottish imports Davy Christie, Davy Brodie, Billy Dickson, Willie Naughton and Jimmie Robertson. Stoke went on an eight match unbeaten run through October and November and back to back home 7–1 and 6–0 victories over Newton Heath and Bolton Wanderers respectively the best results in an encouraging campaign for the "Potters".

FA Cup

There was no joy in the cup as Stoke lost 2–1 to Accrington in the first round. It proved to be the final meeting between the sides as Accrington resigned from the league at the end of the season.
