I'll see your Tony Norman and raise you a Joe Baker
Phillips signed for Sunderland for a fee of £325,000, potentially rising to more than £600,000 (I think it's fair to assume he reached the add on targets)

I remmember the controversy
When we signed
Stan Anderson

I well remember the astronomical £80 000 paid for Jim Baxter, one of our best ever players - mind a pint of Gold Tankard was only 7p at the time!
Eee I was only a kid them daysI'm sure George Herd, Joe Baker (RIP) and Stan Anderson must have wondered what happened to Uncle Vince..
For me to get to the match I had to go from sacriston to Washington two buses.
Then go to my cousins house.
Together we went on the double decker special.
Stood in the fullwell end the the same return journey home.
That was the only way my mother would let me go.
Untill the following year when I started work
Then I could go my own way with my friends from sacriston on there roker park special.
which some times never got us back home till after 6/30
Long before, I once had a drink in the same bar as Slim Jim, just the two of us in the pub, staring into space. Life can be very exciting.
Len Shackleton had an ice cream shop in sacriston
He was friendly with my mother
Only friendly

quite like Vinceshack it sort of rolls off the tongue
Just watched an item on local news with NE journalist Doug Wheatherall, he mentioned Len Shackleton advising the chairman of Hartlepool United to give Brian Clough his first management job. He also mentions that he DW set up Clough three times to come to Sunderland but Clough was overlooked on each occasion, finally Tom Cowie wrote out a blank cheque to Clough to bring him here, by this time it was too late and the rest is history as they say. It was a fascinating insight, into a time that could have changed the whole course SAFC, in many peoples eyes, mine included.
