Stoke skipper Shawcross shrugs off landmark game

Stoke City captain Ryan Shawcross shrugged off reaching game No200 on Saturday.

The 26-year-old, who joined the club from Manchester United in 2007, passed the landmark as he skippered the Potters to a 1-0 win over Newcastle United.

"It's a just a number really," he told the club's website.

"It was just another game and one that we needed to win and that was my only focus.

"It's something that I'll look back on maybe at the end of my career.

"I have always wanted to play at Premier League level and I've been lucky enough to play 200 times now so I am happy with that."
