Hundreds gathered at the bet365 Stadium to pay tribute to 1966 World Cup winner Gordon Banks ahead of his funeral on Monday.
The former England goalkeeper died, aged 81, on February 12 and is to be laid to rest following a service at Stoke Minster this afternoon.
A five-car funeral cortege passed through Stoke's stadium, stopping at the pitchside dugout for a few minutes, to sustained applause from the assembled crowd.
The various achievements of Banks, who also won the League Cup with Stoke and Leicester, were displayed on the big screen as a chant of "England's number one" broke out.
Sheffield-born Banks made nearly 200 appearances for Stoke and, such was his standing, he was named the club's president following the death of Sir Stanley Matthews at the turn of the century.
The statue erected in Banks' honour, holding the Jules Rimet trophy aloft, was decorated with several Stoke and England scarves.
The ground was adorned with shirts, flags and even the odd pair of goalkeeping gloves in tribute to one of the city's favourite adopted sons.
Jack Butland, Joe Anyon and Kasper Schmeichel – the current number ones at the three English clubs Banks played for: Stoke, Chesterfield and Leicester – as well as England stalwart Joe Hart served as pallbearers.
