Sunderland's results

[JoRvIk-ViNeGaR-jOe]

I remember that glorious week in 1976-77 when after not scoring for ages we won 3 games in a week scoring 16 goals. Was 14 years pld and use to stand in the Roker end with my dad.

Also if I remember right the change in fortune was brought about by the introduction to the team of three young reserves, Kevin Arnott, Shaun Elliot and Gary Rowell

Brilliant week !!!

Agree mate and I'm sure a young Gordon Armstrong made his debut too? I quite liked Burnley boy Adamson but hated the flummery spewing waffle of one Tom Cowie..

My dad was reminiscing the other day about the time he went to West Ham and we got beat 8-0!!! Ouch!

biggest I've ever been to was the 5-0 against Leeds and I think it was 5-0 at half time and we all had to go home as my parents were a little pissed off.

believe it was beamed back to Roker Park as well

----------------
I think in the eighties we were stuffed 8-0 or 8-1 by Watford, think it was in the days of Luther Blisset (spelling)?
Seem to remember listen to it on the radio, whilst having a kick about with mates, and getting nothing but p**s take.

As I've said in previous threads, I witnessed the 8 - 0 at West Ham back in 68. I'm sure that there was at least one other poster there, too.

Being a Southern lad, normally speaking I would have been at Watford - it was 8 - 0 again, 1983 I think. However, I had a prearranged family commitment and had to go to Southampton that day. Fortunate, but I was mug enough to wear a Sunderland sweatshirt, and I got a lot of points and sniggers when I stopped off in a pub on the way home.

The thought of having been present for both of those 8 nils give me chills up the spine - I've always thought I'm a Jonah, but I think I'd have had to top meself with that scenario.

I was 12 years old and also standing in the Roker End. The West Ham game was one of the hottest days that I have ever watched a home game.

You are right about Arnott, Elliot and Rowell. Wish we had 3 like them today. The sad thing was that they all outplayed a young lad called Brian Robson in the game against West Brom, but he went on to win all the honours.
