(Oh / my) sweet summer child

I think it likely that sweet summer child's current definition of young and unlearned in the ways of the world is from Game of Thrones for the reasons already explained in this thread. Whenever that phrase was used before it doesn't appear to have had the same meaning.

The expression was made famous by commentator Andy Gray, who was discussing a Manchester City vs Everton game in 2010-11 with Richard Keys.

Note that Stoke first went into the premier league on the 2008-2009 season.

I think it originally came from this forum.

First mention of it (although day instead of night) on here was 2011:

Now they have the chance Sky should sign Jonathan Wilson, just imagine him doing proper tactical analysis on the Last Word and MNF

I mentioned it in Feb 2009,

This predates Gray by almost 2 years and is only 4 months after stoke returned to the top flight. Im not rulling out other influence from other sources/forumites, but i think we can perhaps take "credit" for this one.
