Anyone got any random, strange or funny Sunderland facts or stories? Can be about anything, serious or not, don't matter, even something that you did or seen. Random fact. On this day, August 26 1939, SAFC began the season with a 3-0 win over Derb.y County SAFC then followed this up with 2 losses Huddersfield (h), Arsenal (a). Sitting in 15th position in the league, the league was then suspended due to the outbreak of World war 2. Random fact. One time at the Valley ground, i was so ****ing cold, and the game wasn;t up to much, i managed to consume 5 mince pies during the course of the game. Last one. As a kid, i used to deliver the papers, there was this git big house just of the coast. Anyho it was pissing down one day, and this house always got the echo. As i popped the paper through the letter box, the door opens, and this women says 'why not come into the lobby till it eases off'. So me and me mate step inside, like 2 drowned rats..Then this fella comes over and gives us each a pack of maltesers...It was Bob Stokoe.
I once worked as a chef at a hotel in Bowburn, Durham. The manageress was a big Boro fan and she called me up into the bar one night and said," say hello to your new striker" and introduced me to Peter Davenport, this was the night before he officially signed. Imagine if the internet was around then, I'd have been an ITK !
