1972-1973 season. Began with us relegation bound. Enter Bob Stokoe. History was made!

I once had a trial at Alfreton ...

... six month's suspended sentence!

Seriously I did have a trial with Town and just watched a report on their preparations for the game against Walsall, live on BBC.

They're a bunch of plumbers and drivers who totally believe they'll win and get a big team in the 3rd round ...

... and if they do they'll expect to win again.

I think we're sometimes a bit cynical at Sunderland.

Used to live in shirland and went to watch them a few times, enjoyable with a few good pre match pints but games were dire. Also Mike Ashley and his cohorts from sports direct used to frequent the town centre and spend a fair few bob in the pubs
