In either '75 or '76 we played them in an F.A. cup replay at our place.. Great match - they had Shilton in goal and we won 2-1.

Not so much the match that makes it memorable, but RUNNING with my mates to the old Brewery Tap for the best bottle of Double Max I ever tasted!

Happy days!

Now then...
RUNNING to the Tap, fits nicely with the GNR this Sunday.
It's Shilton's birthday on Sunday, nice fit.
So I'll go for a 2-1 result
 
I agree Bobby...If I remember correctly we drew the first game down at their place 0-0, and there was about 12,000 Sunderland fans there...The replay was a night match with close to 50,000 at the game and a terrific atmosphere..<ok>
