Nicked from another site but well worth sharing on here. One of our fans has uploaded his collection of Sunderland videos on youtube Enjoy... (or hide behind the sofa) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC12wwjIF6-hgEXKWD8GajVg/videos Here's my favourite
Awesome performance that night. BUT how s h I t were the TOON!!! They made us look like Brazil. pmsl Bart
I was at the 1st leg at Roker - if I remember rightly it was a pretty poor game, summed up by missing a penalty anarl. Bart.
I worked with George Courtney after I retired ( for the first time) mid 1990s and he is complete bell end. He's so in love with himself it was unbelievable and he defo wasn't a Sunderland fan.
Afraid he didn't, no. Its an urban myth. The ref in question is George Courtney. I met him at an awards thing in November and spoke to him for a while (cracking bloke). I asked him how he was allowed to ref that tie if he supported Sunderland, and he started laughing. He supports Spennymoor Town a bit, and that's it. Apparently Gates and Gabbiadini like to go round telling people that he's red and white, but it isn't true. Shame, coz its a good story that they invented
When I knew him in the 1990s he lived in Spenny moor and as a bloke to have a ten minute chat to be was very affable but to work for/with he was a nightmare, his knowledge of football is immense mind but I'm afraid that didn't make up for all the minuses.
Brilliant game - loved that strip. It's one of the very few that I still own - it doesn't fit anymore but I'm keeping it anyway!!!
Cracked me up watching that mag jumping up and down on his shirt in the center circle about 3 minutes from the end.
