The1902–03 season wasStoke's 14th season inthe Football League.

After two seasons of narrow escapes the 1902–03 season provided Stoke fans a welcome relief as they finished in sixth place and could have won the league but failed to win their last four fixtures.^[1]

Season review

[edit]

League

[edit]

After a couple of desolate campaigns it did seem that the 1902–03 season would, bring some progress as the club attempted to build on a somewhat poor defence.^[1] A fine half-back was now taking shape withTom Holford flanked by local playersGeorge Baddeley andJames Bradley.^[1] This trio played together 74 times for Stoke at senior level and became a formidable midfield three.^[1] But perhaps the most significant signing at this time was that of 27-year-old inside-leftArthur Capes signed fromNottingham Forest.^[1] He became captain of the side and provided a useful number of goals for Stoke in his two seasons with the club.^[1] The directors also visited Scotland, again to signJack Forrest fromMotherwell but after scoring twice on his debut againstWolverhampton Wanderers he was unable to settle in the Potteries and left for Bradford.^[1]

An ultimate sixth-place finish in the table does not exaggerate the work put in by both Cowlishaw andAusterberry for this was Stoke's best season so far in League football.^[1] In fact after a hard fought 0–0 away atSunderland on Good Friday, Stoke were lying fourth and had a mathematical chance of taking the title.^[1] But they only won one of their remaining four games allowingSheffield Wednesday to win the league.^[1]
