1). Who scored the last ever goal at Roker Park in a competitive match? 2). Who was the first ever black player to play for Sunderland? 3). Who was Sunderlands first 1 million pound player? 4). Sunderland ended a 28 year wait when we beat Newcastle at home in 2008, but who scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory against Newcastle before that in 1980? 5). Who is Sunderlands longest serving manager?
1. No idea 2. Roily Gregoire 3. Alf Common 4. Stan Cummins 5. Alan Brown. I have a naff memory as you can probably tell by my answers.
1) John Mullin 2) Howard Gayle? 3) was it Phil Gray? 4) couldn't even guess 5) I'll guess Alan Brown cause he had two long stints
Number 1 is allan Johnstone a header in a 3 0 win vs Everton. Mullin scored in roker parks last game v Liverpool but that was just a friendly. After that ive no idea im too young so without cheating I dont know.
1) Alan Johnston (Waddle scored a free kick that game but it was the 2nd goal, I think) 2) Roly Gregoire 3) I'm not exactly sure I was looking at the wrong thing 4) Stan Cummins 5) Bob Kyle (23 years, 19 seasons, either side of World War 1. 817 games in total)
I've just checked we signed Alex Rae for 1 million but before that we signed David Kelly for £900,000 with an additional £100,000 if we got promoted, which we did. So grey area but I would say David Kelly was our first 1 million purchase
I knew they overlapped but wasn't sure who signed first. Didn't mind either to be honest. Craig Russell too
1 Allen Johnson (last competitive goal at roker park) 2 Roly ( first black player) 3 Stan cummings ( first SAFC £1m player. 4 Stan cummings ( 1980 vs mags) 5 Bob kyle 1905-28
Can anybody name the four newly signed players in 1993, that were injured in a car crash returning from a pre season game at Middlesboro?
