The 1972–73 season was Stoke City’s 66th season in the Football League and the 42nd in the First Division.After the jubilation of last season’s success the club was able to sign world cup winner Geoff Hurst which boosted season ticket sales. They also entered European competition for the first time losing 5–3 on aggregate to German side 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Stoke failed to build on last season and had to settle for a mid table position of 15th.
