14. Stoke City – Ryan Shawcross
Debut: August 2007
Ryan Shawcross arrived at Stoke on loan from Manchester United in the summer of 2007, but he never returned to Old Trafford and made the switch permanent for £1m during the season as the Potters secured promotion to the Premier League.
Current vice-captain Glenn Whelan is the only other member of Stoke’s Championship squad still at the club having joined from Sheffield Wednesday halfway through that triumphant 2007/08 campaign.
