Stoke City boss Tony Pulis is happy to pursue the club's winger traditions.
Pulis said Matthew Etherington and fellow wide man Jermaine Pennant, when fit and firing, were following in a Stoke tradition stretching back to the first coming of a young Stanley Matthews.
He told The Sentinel: "We are a little bit old-fashioned. We play two out-and-out wingers because the crowd like to see players running down the pitch and getting crosses in, but they also like to see them working hard.
"That's almost the DNA of this football club. We've got a working-class crowd and they want to see wingers taking on full-backs in the Matthews tradition here."
