My first game was in 1958 the season we got relegated for the first time, I was nine and no idea who we played.
Started regular in 1961 with my dad and four brothers, started in the Fulwell and moved to the main stand Fulwell paddock next to the players tunnel in 1962 and stayed there till I started work when weekend working was the norm but went whenever I could.

I used to have a season ticket for the fulwell wing, main stand paddock in the 80s
 
1967 at Fulham for me. Lost 3 _1 Colin Suggest scored our goal. 1st victory witnessed was a 1-0 win at Spurs in '69 courtesy of a Mike England own goal

Stood in the Fulwelll end that day with my dad and his brother. They got squashed to **** and vowed never to stand there again. Remember Allison donned in his Fedora waving at the Fulwell End. Someone chucked an apple at him he pretended to take a bite out of it and chucked it back...

Missed around 25 home games since 1984.
Seen us lose 8 times at Wembley.
Been to over 60 away grounds, most of multiple occasions.
Yet not once, not ****ing once, have I thought about shares and finance.
You know why...cos I am a Safc fan not a sad internet ****.

Support the ****ing club you ****s. It is far bigger than a semantic point on the net.

57/58 , first full season as a man of independent means, Sunderland the Bank of England club and a team with a proud history as good as any at the time and better than most, and one of only two clubs never to have played outside of the first division. Arsenal were the first victims and I left the ground convinced we had won 2-0, my grasp on football has improved little since, sadly that season did not end well, and I often think why didn't I choose to support Newcastle . <laugh>

For me it’s because I am a football supporter not an accountant. At one time we had no idea, I sometimes wish for those days.

My first game was 1964. I was six.
I can’t remember who we played.
I took my son when he was three. He cried when we scored. Not because he was happy but because the noise scared the **** out of him and this was the Clock Stand seats !
My grand son is three now but too young. Problem is, his dad who is not part of our family, supports and goes to Man United. Ive got to make sure he supports us and not them.

Jimmy Montgomery’s testimonial for me.
I think it was May 1974

Be fair mate, its not an option.

The option considered being this, would NUFC, instead of SAFC, have inherited the curse, if I had so chosen :emoticon-0107-sweat. A bit like Chunky's self sacrifice for the common good, my intentions even if futile, were honourable, honest. :emoticon-0111-blush
