RIP Bob Stokoe. A Sunderland legend forever. Still the last Sunderland or Newcastle manager to win a major trophy
Finger's like tree stump's... On Ya BOB Where Ever You Are, Never Forget Mate Never Ever. Remember The Run To Monty.
Gave us the greatest season of our lifetimes. Many a time I put the 73 match on and it still gets me going. He could also have been the first British manager to win a European trophy when he managed Blackpool. They won the Anglo-Italian trophy around about 1960. It was between the highest clubs at the time when there was only one team in the European cup.
9 years since he passed and 40 years since the last trophy in the NE, which sadly will be at least 41 years before another chance arises. God bless gaffer.
Great times, great memories, great manager, great Geordie! There, I said it! Here comes the **** flying...........
