That was truly rock bottom, some think LVG was forcing the owners into a spending spree, I'm not so sure! What's the most embarrassing defeat you can remember for Sunderland?
Possibly Sunderland 1-3 Charlton in 2003 under Howard Wilkinson. We scored every goal! Wasn't in the cup though. In the cup we've had loads of early exits.
We went out 1-0 at Brighton under Bruce, famously embarrassing as he didn't play any strikers. Luton have knocked us out, as have Notts County but I they weren't non league at the time.
Remember getting ribbed off a couple of mag mates for that, then the next two seasons haha. I say mate, more acquaintances that I have yet to bump into agina following our defeat.
Hahaha I've had my humbling mate, MK Dons. I was at your semi final I think it was Everton, Ian Rush scored the winner I think. Ian Rush he was about 60
Ŷ Think you memories fading mate. We were in semi finals for three years running. 98 v Sheffield united 99 v Tottenham 2000 v Chelsea. Can't remember Ian Rush scoring for us at all tbh?
