For those who want to know the ins and outs: In 1904 we sold Andy McCombie to the craas for ã700 In 1905 we sold Alf Common to Boro for ã1000 In 1922 we bought Warney Cresswell from South Shields for ã5,500 .....all world record fees at the time! interesting to note that even Real Madrid isn't on the list
I've found the answer! I was inspired by this comment. I started thinking, when have we ever lost 5-1 to Hartlepool or Darlington? Then I saw the light and Wikipedia confirmed it. In 1935, Barcelona beat Real Madrid away 9-1. In 1912, AC Milan beat Inter away 9-1. In 1951, Lazio beat Roma away 9-1. In 1981, River Plate beat Boca Juniors away 9-1. In 1902, Juventus beat Torino away 9-1.
Sorry chatnoirs. You're going to have to spell it out for me. How on earth do Sunderland fit into this list . As much detail as possible please.
CityBlackCat He's getting at the fact that our record victory against our fiends from the north was 9-1, which matches the victories he lists...
Good one that I like it! !!! Need some more of that kinds stuff. But only question is the Barcelona n Madrid one- am I being thick - They are miles apart rnt they or is it just rivals and not local rivals?
