The Sunderland Story, which

runs from Wednesday 17

May – Saturday 27 May, will

take audiences on a trip down

memory lane up to the modern

day telling the epic tale of

Sunderland AFC’s history from

the first trophy win to the

team’s legendary managers

and scorers including Watson,

Stokoe, Reid, Cochrane,

Campbell and Gurney.

It will celebrate one of the

biggest moments in SAFC’s

history 50 years ago, that

glorious 1973 FA Cup win but

continues to tell the story of

the club right up until the epic

celebrations of the 2022 League

One play-offs.

Nicky Allt, writer of The

Sunderland Story said:

“Sunderland was one of the

clubs we specifically wanted

to write about. I met with a

number of Sunderland fans

over the years. Their fanaticism

and passion always moved me.

“I always felt their lives were

wrapped up in the football

club. To tell it from a people’s

perspective is how we are

doing this rather than in

football moments. We wanted

to tell it through the eyes of

the people who have grown

and lived with the football club

through the generations.

“We had Celtic and Liverpool

and we waited for our moment

with Sunderland. After the

play-offs, all we could see was

an upward trajectory with the

club. With the 50th anniversary

of the FA Cup final, it was the

right moment and we only see

the football club moving up

as well.

“Within the city, there are a lot

of new buildings going up so

assistant kit manager Andrew

Thompson, Tommo! AND of

course, there’s Tony Mowbray!

Benno has close connections

with Middlesbrough too as he

used to coach the youngsters

at the club and his son Andre

signed for Tony Mowbray,

and so it is that when we

arrive at the Riverside there

is inevitably much meeting

and greeting for the MBE.

I do recall one match at the

Riverside when I was covering

Newcastle United. ‘The Sun’, I

believe it was, tried to steal the

show by employing topless girls

to run on the pitch to distract

Paul Gascoigne. One of the

more bizarre incidents I have

ever witnessed at a football

match. I thought as I was

writing this that maybe it was

all a figment of my imagination,

but I have checked its veracity

and indeed it is true. It was in

December 1998 when the two

girls ran on in Christmas outfits

minus their upper garments

and chased Gazza around the

pitch! I’ve seen a chicken on

a pitch at Huddersfield and

a dog at Gillingham, but I

suspect that the Boro incident

tops both of those!

that also felt like the right time

to do the show. The history

of the football club will be

intertwined with the city. It’s

not just a football history, it’s a

city history. The mines, the ship

building, it’s all there.

“If I am being straight about

it, I feel really privileged

to write about Sunderland

Football Club. Every time I’ve

come across Sunderland fans,

they come across to me as

passionate a fanbase as any. I’m

very happy to be writing this

show.”

Appearances: 74

Even now Brian Clough

continues to fascinate people.

You never seem to go long

without yet another book

about Cloughie appearing, the

most recent being ‘Alchemy’,

published late last year and

exploring Clough’s time in

his first senior managerial

role at Hartlepool. Known

by many for his triumphs as

a manager, Sunderland and

Middlesbrough fans saw Brian

as a player.

Thinking of all those ‘Get

Clough for Roker’ car stickers

that were once de rigueur on

Wearside, sadly Brian never

came back to Sunderland to

spread the sort of managerial

stardust that saw him win the

top-flight title with both Derby

and Forest and sensationally

not only win the European Cup

with Forest but retain it. As I’ve

mentioned before in interviews

with them in the old Legion of

Light magazine, I interviewed

two Sunderland chairmen –

Keith Collings and Sir Tom

Cowie – who interviewed

Clough for the Sunderland

manager’s job and decided not

to give him it! They had their

We know those who commit these

illegal acts do not represent the

majority of supporters.

AD-210x148-EFL-Fan Beaviour.indd 1 24/07/2022 21:32

reasons, mainly concerning

Clough’s relationship with

the boards of directors he

had worked with but finding

a Sunderland supporter who

doesn’t regret those decisions

is probably even harder than

finding a stone on Bamburgh

beach. If only!

As a striker Clough was as good

as he was as a manager - and

that is saying something!

In Brian’s last season for

Sunderland he had 28 goals

in 28 games before, he was

struck down by the injury that

effectively ended his career

on Boxing Day in 1962. Clough

tried incredibly hard to come

back from injury, eventually

playing three more games and

scoring one more goal after

three years of rehabilitation.

Clough scored even more

goals for his home town of

Middlesbrough. 197 in 213

league games added to his

Wearside tally of 54 league

goals in 61 outings gave him

an overall goals to games ratio

of 0.916 in league goals. No

player to have scored a double

century of goals in the history

of the game in England can

match that record.

Having been forced to give up

playing Clough the manager’s

first steps in that field were

taken at Sunderland. As

youth team manager he took

the club’s youngsters to the

semi-final of the FA Youth

Cup for the first time in 1965

before accepting the post of

Hartlepool manager in October

of that year.

There are statues to Clough

in Middlesbrough, Derby and

Nottingham. Had Sunderland

appointed him as first team

manager when they had the

chance there may well have

been a statue of Brian here too.

Red&White / 5

Good morning and welcome back to the Stadium

of Light for today’s game against Middlesbrough.

I’d like to start by welcoming Michael

Carrick and the visiting supporters

to Wearside – I spent 12 years of my

playing career there, as well as three

years in management and met some

fantastic people along the way.

Looking back at last week’s fixture against

Swansea City, it was great to see over

40,000 Sunderland supporters at the

Stadium of Light for the first time in 2023.

It was frustrating as I thought we started

the game very bright and looked the

better team when it was 11 v 11 – it felt like

it was going to be a good day for us.

After the red card, it turned into a long

afternoon against the team with the

best possession stats in the league.

Sometimes teams are more direct

and you can deal with them a man

down, but Swansea moved us around

and found a way through.

I said to the players after the game

that we weren’t going to over

analyse it – they worked extremely

hard, and we’ll have better days.

Middlesbrough have been in fantastic

form recently with four wins in a row in the

league, so we’re expecting a tough game.

We’re well prepared and we know

that we can be a match for anyone in

this division – it’s a big test, but one

that we’re looking forward to.

The reverse fixture at the Riverside was

difficult for us after losing Ross Stewart

in the warm-up and having to change

formation minutes before kick-off.

We have a number of injuries now

and once we get those players back,

I’m confident we can really push on

in the second half of the season.

Now it’s us on home soil we can start

on the front foot with the backing of a

huge crowd at the Stadium of Light.

We have to be aggressive in our play and I’m

confident we can take the three points.

Enjoy the game,

CORRY

EVANS

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to

the Stadium of Light, as we prepare to take on

Middlesbrough in a hugely important clash between

two sides who know each other very well.

We’re looking for a response from last

weekend’s defeat against Swansea City. It’s

a game we have looked to take the positives

from and on the whole, put behind us.

It’s a bit of a one-off when you go down to

10 men; I thought that with 11, we were well

on top, but these things happen in football.

The week has given us a bit of extra time to

get some more rest in the legs and secure

some more preparation under our belts for

what is going to be a huge game today.

Middlesbrough are a fantastic team.

They have really hit a good run and the

table speaks for itself. But we feel on

our day, that we’re confident against

any opponent, especially backed by the

support of all of you at the Stadium of

Light. We had over 40,000 last weekend

against Swansea, and to keep that noise

and those numbers would be huge for us.

On a personal note, I feel fine now in terms

of fitness. I suffered a tight hamstring

after the Blackburn Rovers game on

Boxing Day, so it was the right decision

to rest up for a few games. I trained away

for a few days and I feel good to go.

The important thing is now that we are

ready. We’re over halfway through the

season and the table will soon take shape

even further. We want to see how far we

can get and all push in the right direction.

Results like last week happen in

football, especially in a league like the

Championship. We can’t let it affect us,

and we have to keep our heads held

high. We’re a good team and we’re up

for Middlesbrough – we’re ready.

Enjoy the game,

Corry.

AMAD

SCOOPS PFA

AWARD

We are delighted to reveal that Amad has

won the Vertu Motors PFA Fans’ Player of the

Month Award in the Sky Bet Championship for

December 2022.

The forward hit three goals in a Sunderland shirt

throughout the course of the month, securing

wins against Millwall and Wigan Athletic, as well as

a penalty struck against West Bromwich Albion.

The 20-year-old Manchester United loanee

has struck a real chord with teammates and

supporters alike, having now appeared 20 times

in the Championship, with six goals and one assist

from 13 league starts.

Among the nominees was a fellow man in red

and white, Ross Stewart, who hit three goals

in three games after returning from injury.

Middlesbrough’s Chuba Akpom, Viktor Gyokeres

of Coventry City, and Iliman Ndiaye and James

McAtee (both Sheffield United) were also

shortlisted.

Congratulations, Amad!

COLLECTS

2022 NE

PRIZE

Sunderland AFC goalkeeper Anthony Patterson

has been named the North East Football

Writers’ Association’s Young Player of the Year

for 2022.

The 22-year-old enjoyed a stunning

breakthrough year on Wearside, returning

from a non-league loan spell at Notts County in

January before cementing his place as the Club’s

number one.

Patterson went on to keep nine clean sheets

during SAFC’s 17-game unbeaten run, which

culminated in victory and promotion at Wembley

Stadium in the Sky Bet League One Play-Off Final.

The second successive Academy of Light

graduate to earn the NEFWA Young Player of the

Year award, the goalkeeper succeeds 2021 winner

Dan Neil.

Patterson also follows in the footsteps of former

SAFC goalkeeper and current Everton and

England number one Jordan Pickford, who won

the award back-to-back in 2016 and 2017.

Patterson said: “I’m delighted to receive such a

special award. I’ve loved every minute. I know

how special the award is, and to follow in the

footsteps of of Jordan Pickford is something I’m

very proud of.

Tony Mowbray added: “Congratulations

to Anthony, it’s a great story. He is a very

unassuming kid and he keeps himself to himself.

What is fantastic is he keeps the ball out of the

net using his big frame to his advantage.”

Patterson will be presented with the coveted

award at the NEFWA’s annual awards evening,

which will take place on Sunday 5 March at the

Ramside Hall Hotel.

THE

SUNDERLAND

STORY

With tickets still on sale for the club’s theatre production

The Sunderland Story, those behind the concept have been

speaking of their pride in being the architects to the show.

The Sunderland Story, which

runs from Wednesday 17

May – Saturday 27 May, will

take audiences on a trip down

memory lane up to the modern

day telling the epic tale of

Sunderland AFC’s history from

the first trophy win to the

team’s legendary managers

and scorers including Watson,

Stokoe, Reid, Cochrane,

Campbell and Gurney.

It will celebrate one of the

biggest moments in SAFC’s

history 50 years ago, that

glorious 1973 FA Cup win but

continues to tell the story of

the club right up until the epic

celebrations of the 2022 League

One play-offs.

Nicky Allt, writer of The

Sunderland Story said:

“Sunderland was one of the

clubs we specifically wanted

to write about. I met with a

number of Sunderland fans

over the years. Their fanaticism

and passion always moved me.

“I always felt their lives were

wrapped up in the football

club. To tell it from a people’s

perspective is how we are

doing this rather than in

football moments. We wanted

to tell it through the eyes of

the people who have grown

and lived with the football club

through the generations.

“We had Celtic and Liverpool

and we waited for our moment

with Sunderland. After the

play-offs, all we could see was

an upward trajectory with the

club. With the 50th anniversary

of the FA Cup final, it was the

right moment and we only see

the football club moving up

as well.

“Within the city, there are a lot

of new buildings going up so

that also felt like the right time

to do the show. The history

of the football club will be

intertwined with the city. It’s

not just a football history, it’s a

city history. The mines, the ship

building, it’s all there.

“If I am being straight about

it, I feel really privileged

to write about Sunderland

Football Club. Every time I’ve

come across Sunderland fans,

they come across to me as

passionate a fanbase as any. I’m

very happy to be writing this

show.”

Tickets are priced from £13 and

are on sale. They are available

online at ATG Tickets.

JIM

MORROW

[2 JUNE 1929 – 5 JANUARY 2023]

Club historian Rob Mason pays tribute.

We were saddened to learn

of the death of former Youth

Development Officer Jim

Morrow at the age of 93. Jim

managed England Schoolboys

from 1970 to 1982 and came to

SAFC in 1985. In addition to his

outstanding work with young

players he became part of the

coaching staff under Denis

Smith and Malcolm Crosby,

being part of the backroom

staff when the FA Cup final was

reached in 1992.

As a young man Jim became a

teacher, starting at Washington

in 1948 and played football

in the Northern League for

Stanley United in addition to

representing his birthplace

of Pity Me at cricket. He also

played football for Ballymena

during his National Service with

the Royal Ulster Rifles.

Achieving his full FA Coaching

Badge as far back as 1953, after

progressing through local

and county junior football Jim

became assistant manager to

future Liverpool coach Tom

Saunders for the England

Schools team. Jim’s career

in education progressed as

he became head of Gilesgate

Moor Junior School in Durham.

One of many players to owe

Jim a debt of gratitude is Martin

Smith who came through the

ranks at Sunderland while

Jim was Youth Development

Officer. “I’m really sorry to

hear Jim has passed away” says

Martin. “I hadn’t seen him for

six or seven years and was just

thinking about him recently.

He was a big influence when

I was coming through to the

extent that my teammates

thought I was his ‘blue-eyed

boy’ as he always looked after

me. There was one game at

Bradford when I was playing

in the national trials after I’d

already signed schoolboy

forms for Sunderland. After a

couple of minutes I hit a scissor

kick from outside the box

and it cannoned off the bar.

Afterwards he was so happy

because all the scouts were

interested and he was saying to

them, ‘He’s mine!’”

Peter Stronach and Wilf Rostron

were future Sunderland players

who played for England boys

under Morrow, as did many

players who went on to have

great careers such as Ray

Wilkins, Kenny Sansom and

Clive Allen. Stronach says,

“Jim was great and I’m so

sorry to hear he has passed

away. When we were playing

at Wembley or at Arsenal Wilf

and I would travel down with

Jim along with John Trewick,

a Newcastle lad who went on

to play for West Bromwich

Albion and Newcastle amongst

others. He never showed

us any favouritism as he was

scrupulously fair and a pleasure

to play for.”

England Schoolboys won

62, drew 16 and lost 19 of Jim

Morrow’s 97 games in charge.

His contribution to football

with England and Sunderland

should not be underestimated.

“He was a passionate supporter

of 'The Red and Whites' right

until the end of his life” says his

daughter Julie. Rest in Peace

Jim.

TESTIMONIAL

TALES...

Rob Mason remembers the games

in honour of Sunderland players.

THE PLAYER

BRIAN

CLOUGH

At Sunderland:

14 July 1961 to 14 November

1964*

Appearances: 74

Goals: 63

Other club(s): Great Broughton,

South Bank, Billingham

Synthonia, Middlesbrough

International: England

*As a player, before continuing as youth

team coach until 27/10/1965.

Even now Brian Clough

continues to fascinate people.

You never seem to go long

without yet another book

about Cloughie appearing, the

most recent being ‘Alchemy’,

published late last year and

exploring Clough’s time in

his first senior managerial

role at Hartlepool. Known

by many for his triumphs as

a manager, Sunderland and

Middlesbrough fans saw Brian

as a player.

Thinking of all those ‘Get

Clough for Roker’ car stickers

that were once de rigueur on

Wearside, sadly Brian never

came back to Sunderland to

spread the sort of managerial

stardust that saw him win the

top-flight title with both Derby

and Forest and sensationally

not only win the European Cup

with Forest but retain it. As I’ve

mentioned before in interviews

with them in the old Legion of

Light magazine, I interviewed

two Sunderland chairmen –

Keith Collings and Sir Tom

Cowie – who interviewed

Clough for the Sunderland

manager’s job and decided not

to give him it! They had their

reasons, mainly concerning

Clough’s relationship with

the boards of directors he

had worked with but finding

a Sunderland supporter who

doesn’t regret those decisions

is probably even harder than

finding a stone on Bamburgh

beach. If only!

As a striker Clough was as good

as he was as a manager - and

that is saying something!

In Brian’s last season for

Sunderland he had 28 goals

in 28 games before, he was

struck down by the injury that

effectively ended his career

on Boxing Day in 1962. Clough

tried incredibly hard to come

back from injury, eventually

playing three more games and

scoring one more goal after

three years of rehabilitation.

Red&White / 23

Clough scored even more

goals for his home town of

Middlesbrough. 197 in 213

league games added to his

Wearside tally of 54 league

goals in 61 outings gave him

an overall goals to games ratio

of 0.916 in league goals. No

player to have scored a double

century of goals in the history

of the game in England can

match that record.

Having been forced to give up

playing Clough the manager’s

first steps in that field were

taken at Sunderland. As

youth team manager he took

the club’s youngsters to the

semi-final of the FA Youth

Cup for the first time in 1965

before accepting the post of

Hartlepool manager in October

of that year.

There are statues to Clough

in Middlesbrough, Derby and

Nottingham. Had Sunderland

appointed him as first team

manager when they had the

chance there may well have

been a statue of Brian here too.

THE TESTIMONIAL

Wednesday 27 October 1965

SUNDERLAND 2

Clough 2 (1p)

NEWCASTLE UNITED ** 6

Eastham, Burton, Hateley, Dobson (p), Iley, St. John

Late in the evening of his

Testimonial Clough revealed

that he had accepted the

managerial hot seat at

Hartlepool. One of his new

Pools players had just played

alongside his new boss. Former

Sunderland man Amby Fogarty

had turned up as a spectator

but ended up playing for the

Lads due to Mike Hellawell’s

late withdrawal. Cloughie’s

abrasive nature meant that not

all of his regular Sunderland

team mates turned out for him,

something well documented in

Len Ashurst’s autobiography for

instance.

Billed as ‘Newcastle United’

the opposition was actually the

Magpies goalkeeper Gordon

Marshall and their defence. This

included Frank Clark who would

go on to win the European Cup

under Clough at Forest in 1979

and be assistant manager to

Ken Knighton as Sunderland

won promotion a year later.

None of Newcastle’s forwards

played in the testimonial game

as the front five were all ‘Guest

players’ with all but one of them

scoring. These were Arsenal’s

George Eastham (a former

Newcastle player), Aston

Villa’s Tony Hateley, Sheffield

Wednesday’s Colin Dobson

and Liverpool’s Ian St. John.

Arsenal man George Armstrong

competed the ‘Guests’ in

front of a record testimonial

attendance of 31,898.

CLUB HISTORIAN

ROB MASON

BROTHERS

Fifty years ago next week John

Hughes’ (below) only game

for Sunderland remains the

last time two brothers played

alongside each other for The

Lads. ‘Yogi’ played in the same

team as brother Billy (right) in a

2-0 home win over Millwall on

27 January 1973 only for injury

to deny Celtic legend John the

chance to play again.

In October 1989 the Gabbiadini

brothers both played for

Sunderland in a match at

Leeds, but with Ricardo coming

on as substitute to replace

Marco the brothers didn’t get

to play alongside each other

for Sunderland. As with John

Hughes, Ricardo’s appearance

here proved to be his only first

team match for SAFC.

1,000 UP

New Year’s Day’s game at

Blackpool was the 1,000th

league game in a row that

Sunderland have fielded at

least one full international.

Including used substitutes

Sunderland have used

between three and six full

internationals in every game so

far this season.

The last time a full international

did not play in a league game

for Sunderland was late in the

last century at Swindon on 3

May 1998, although of that

side Kevin Phillips and Allan

Johnston would win their first

caps for England and Scotland

the following season. Republic

of Ireland international Niall

Quinn missed that game at

Swindon as did Michael Gray

who would debut for England

the following season.

As regards all competitions,

the last SAFC line up to not

include a full international

happened much more recently.

The team for the Football

League Trophy game against

Manchester United Under 21s

in October 2021 was made up

of a side so bereft of first team

experience that seven players

made their debuts with only

Denver Hume – making his

way back from injury - having

more than the tiniest number

of first team appearances to his

name. Ironically there was a full

international former Sunderland

player in the Under 21 line-up of

the visitors – veteran Republic

of Ireland international Paul

McShane who was playing for

United as an over-age player.

Rob Mason researches what today’s opponents had to say

about The Lads when it was Sunderland’s turn to be the visitors.

As we look forward to the

fourth round of the FA Cup

in this 50th anniversary

season of the legendary 1973

FA Cup triumph, it is worth

remembering that the cup

winning season kicked off at

Middlesbrough.

The Teessiders’ programme

on 12 August 1972 stated

that Sunderland, “…must be

rated amongst the hottest

promotion favourites”. It fairly

made the point that, unlike

most promotion aspirants,

Sunderland’s bright young side

has been developed almost

entirely from the club’s nursery.

Only three of today’s possible

team have previously played

for other clubs…” Indeed of

the 17 man squad photograph

used only Dave Watson, Dick

Malone and Ian Porterfield had

not come through the youth

team, albeit by the time of the

cup final the XI who played at

Wembley would include new

signings Ron Guthrie and Vic

Halom. Incidentally the cup

final would be refereed by Ken

Burns of Stourbridge who also

blew the opening whistle of the

season at Ayresome Park.

When Sunderland next visited

Teesside as cup holders on

Boxing Day 1973 the Daily

Mirror’s Charlie Summerbell

revealed that ‘Up the Borough’

had become Sunderland’s

dressing room battle-cry.

Summerbell explained that this

had been his regular welcome

whenever he visited the

Sunderland squad and that since

then ahead of all Sunderland’s

European games he had always

sent a telegram simply saying,

‘Up the Borough!’

Sunderland’s visit to Ayresome

Park for a Littlewoods (League)

Cup tie in August 1987 bought a

column from the Boro captain,

none other than Tony Mowbray,

“Tonight’s game against the old

Red&White / 33

enemy will no doubt produce

all the good things that football

has to offer, big crowds, electric

atmosphere, two sides with

a lot of pride at stake. This

mixture should produce a fast

and entertaining game. The first

leg of the Littlewoods Cup at

Sunderland proved to be a very

close game. We now know what

we have to do to progress to the

next round. It will be very close

but I am sure we will go through,

so enjoy the game, keep out of

trouble and cheer the lads into

the next round.”

‘Mogga’ was the centre

spread in the programme for

Sunderland’s visit in September

1991, complete with a fetching

blond hair-do. The poster

followed a profile of the then

27 year old Boro skipper which

pointed out that as well as

Tony winning back to back

promotions with his local club

in 1987 and 1988 he had at one

point made 111 consecutive

league appearances between

January 1985 and September

1988.

Sunderland’s last ever trip to

Ayresome Park in September

1994 saw Adrian Bevington

interview from Boro, Sunderland

and Newcastle man Alan

Foggon. ‘What happened at

Roker Park?’ he was asked. “It

was fine at first” replied Foggon

who continued, “but when

Bob Stokoe was sacked and

Jimmy Adamson took over the

problems began. Adamson

didn’t want any of the senior

pros so individually he called in

myself, Jim Montgomery and

others, and bombed us out.

I only played once more and

Sunderland were relegated.”

Later in the same issue the

welcome to Sunderland started

with, “A visit from Sunderland

is always a special occasion”

before going on to outline the

history of the club, stating, “The

Rokermen were one of the first

giants of the game by the turn

of the century and had finished

in the league’s top two 11 times

by the outbreak of World War

Two – higher than Boro have

ever achieved.”

More recently Sunderland’s visit

to Teesside in April 2017 was

a Premier League encounter.

Ugo Ehiogu was pictured on

the cover as part of a tribute

to a highly respected player

who had just passed away.

The same issue included a

column from former Premier

League referee Jeff Winter

who remembered that he

officiated at Sunderland games

over 30 times. At the time of

this game Steve Agnew was

Middlesbrough manager and

revealingly Winter revealed in

taking Dickie Ord’s Testimonial

against Steaua Bucharest (A

game featured in last weekend’s

‘Testimonial Tales’) it was, “…a

far from friendly encounter, due

to the antics of the Romanians.

I remember inviting Steve

Agnew to have a ‘free one’ on

their most annoying midfielder,

he duly obliged before quickly

being substituted.” Winter went

on to recall refereeing the first

ever match at the Stadium of

Light against Ajax and being

stuck in a lift for 15 minutes prematch.

They were just two of

several great stories from the ex

referee.

Only three of today’s possible

team have previously played

for other clubs…” Indeed of

the 17 man squad photograph

used only Dave Watson, Dick

Malone and Ian Porterfield had

not come through the youth

team, albeit by the time of the

cup final the XI who played at

Wembley would include new

signings Ron Guthrie and Vic

Halom. Incidentally the cup

final would be refereed by Ken

Burns of Stourbridge who also

blew the opening whistle of the

season at Ayresome Park.

When Sunderland next visited

Teesside as cup holders on

Boxing Day 1973 the Daily

Mirror’s Charlie Summerbell

revealed that ‘Up the Borough’

had become Sunderland’s

dressing room battle-cry.

Summerbell explained that this

had been his regular welcome

whenever he visited the

Sunderland squad and that since

then ahead of all Sunderland’s

European games he had always

sent a telegram simply saying,

‘Up the Borough!’

Sunderland’s visit to Ayresome

Park for a Littlewoods (League)

Cup tie in August 1987 bought a

column from the Boro captain,

none other than Tony Mowbray,

“Tonight’s game against the old

Red&White / 33

enemy will no doubt produce

all the good things that football

has to offer, big crowds, electric

atmosphere, two sides with

a lot of pride at stake. This

mixture should produce a fast

and entertaining game. The first

leg of the Littlewoods Cup at

Sunderland proved to be a very

close game. We now know what

we have to do to progress to the

next round. It will be very close

but I am sure we will go through,

so enjoy the game, keep out of

trouble and cheer the lads into

the next round.”

‘Mogga’ was the centre

spread in the programme for

Sunderland’s visit in September

1991, complete with a fetching

blond hair-do. The poster

followed a profile of the then

27 year old Boro skipper which

pointed out that as well as

Tony winning back to back

promotions with his local club

in 1987 and 1988 he had at one

point made 111 consecutive

league appearances between

January 1985 and September

1988.

Sunderland’s last ever trip to

Ayresome Park in September

1994 saw Adrian Bevington

interview former Boro,

Sunderland and Newcastle man

Alan Foggon. ‘What happened

at Roker Park?’ he was asked.

“It was fine at first” replied

Foggon who continued, “but

when Bob Stokoe was sacked

and Jimmy Adamson took over

the problems began. Adamson

didn’t want any of the senior

pros so individually he called in

myself, Jim Montgomery and

others, and bombed us out.

I only played once more and

Sunderland were relegated.”

Later in the same issue the

welcome to Sunderland started

with, “A visit from Sunderland

is always a special occasion”

before going on to outline the

history of the club, stating, “The

Rokermen were one of the first

giants of the game by the turn

of the century and had finished

in the league’s top two 11 times

by the outbreak of World War

Two – higher than Boro have

ever achieved.”

More recently Sunderland’s visit

to Teesside in April 2017 was

a Premier League encounter.

Ugo Ehiogu was pictured on

the cover as part of a tribute to

a highly respected player who

had just passed away. The same

issue included a column from

former Premier League referee

Jeff Winter who remembered

that he officiated at Sunderland

games over 30 times. At the

time of this game Steve Agnew

was Middlesbrough manager

and Winter revealed in taking

Dickie Ord’s Testimonial against

Steaua Bucharest (A game

featured in last weekend’s

‘Testimonial Tales’) it was, “…a

far from friendly encounter, due

to the antics of the Romanians.

I remember inviting Steve

Agnew to have a ‘free one’ on

their most annoying midfielder,

he duly obliged before quickly

being substituted.” Winter went

on to recall refereeing the first

ever match at the Stadium of

Light against Ajax and being

stuck in a lift for 15 minutes prematch.

They were just two of

several great stories from the ex

referee.

AWAY DAY

ANECDOTES…

WITH

For all the travelling we do

covering Sunderland, matches

against Middlesbrough

are a joy for the fact

there is so little travel!

It has been calculated that this

season Sunderland will travel

4,965 miles in the Championship

– that’s without cup matches

at Fulham, Shrewsbury and

Sheffield Wednesday. I suspect

Boro fans probably have

similar thoughts. It’s certainly

one of the more attractive

constituents of the Wear-Tees

‘derby’. This is not the place to

begin a debate as to whether

it is a derby by the way!

The Riverside Stadium is the

only Middlesbrough stadium I

have known. When I embarked

on my commentary career in

Riverside Stadium

1992, I missed out on Ayresome

Park and I’d never been there

as a fan either. In all the years

I’ve been covering matches

at Middlesbrough it has seen

very little change, though sadly

now it is no longer graced by

the late great Alistair Brownlee

who passed away in 2016. He

was the voice of Middlesbrough

and had a personality to match.

He was taken far too soon.

Of course, there has been a

fairly considerable overlapping

when it comes to players who

have appeared for both clubs

from Lee Cattermole and Grant

Leadbitter to Julio Arca and

Boudewijn Zenden plus a good

few more. Backroom staff too

have come and gone including

fitness guru Nick Allamby

and the current Sunderland

assistant kit manager Andrew

Thompson, Tommo! AND of

course, there’s Tony Mowbray!

Benno has close connections

with Middlesbrough too as he

used to coach the youngsters

at the club and his son Andre

signed for Tony Mowbray,

and so it is that when we

arrive at the Riverside there

is inevitably much meeting

and greeting for the MBE.

I do recall one match at the

Riverside when I was covering

Newcastle United. ‘The Sun’, I

believe it was, tried to steal the

show by employing topless girls

to run on the pitch to distract

Paul Gascoigne. One of the

more bizarre incidents I have

ever witnessed at a football

match. I thought as I was

writing this that maybe it was

all a figment of my imagination,

but I have checked its veracity

and indeed it is true. It was in

December 1998 when the two

girls ran on in Christmas outfits

minus their upper garments

and chased Gazza around the

pitch! I’ve seen a chicken on

a pitch at Huddersfield and

a dog at Gillingham, but I

suspect that the Boro incident

tops both of those!

SUNDERLAND AFC

STARS SURPRISE LOCAL

SCHOOLCHILDREN AT BEACON

Show Racism the Red Card hosted their annual educational

event at the Beacon of Light this week, as local schoolchildren

were treated to a surprise visit from four special guests.

Sunderland AFC legends Gary

Bennett MBE and Kevin Ball

joined Bailey Wright and

Aji Alese in a Q & A session,

much to the delight of the

students in attendance.

Speaking about the importance

of events which focus on

combating racism through

education and reflecting on

the afternoon’s proceedings,

Alese said: “Events like this are

really important. It’s a shame

that we’re still having to have

them but it’s important to get

the message across, especially

to youngsters because they’re

the future generation.

“I really enjoyed the session. We

got asked some very interesting

questions, some questions that

we were stumped with and didn’t

have answers to, but it shows

the way the kids think and the

way that their brain processes

things, so hopefully we got

messages across to them that

they can take away and hold

onto for the rest of their lives.”

Fellow defender Wright feels

progress has been made in

combatting racism, albeit admits

there’s still work to be done:

“We’re handing over the baton

as we get older to the next

generation of young inspiring

people. You saw the number of

kids here today getting educated

around racism and what Show

Racism the Red Card has been

doing in schools, football and

in sport, it’s come a long way.

“There’s still a long way to

go in tackling racism but

the education around it is

important. We are educating

and putting the time and effort

into the next generation, not

just with Show Racism the Red

Card but in all walks of life.”

Former SAFC skipper, Ball,

added: “After being involved

with Show Racism the Red Card

for 27 years, whenever these

events come up, I like to sit

and listen to the young people

to hear what they have to say.

It’s interesting what questions

they ask you and it’s interesting

reflecting in your own head, what

your own experiences were.”

Ball was also quick to heap

praise on the Foundation of

Light for its ongoing work

within the community. “Places

like the Foundation of Light

where they can come along

and learn is of huge importance

to the city of Sunderland and

the surrounding areas.”

Rob Mason searches for players from the past.

Former Sunderland and Middlesbrough fullback

JOHN KAY...

R&W: What are you up to

these days John?

JK: I work for a Housing

Association called Homesafe.

I help people with housing,

benefits and mental health. I

really enjoy what I do and the

organisation I work for have

been absolutely fantastic,

especially during lockdown.

I’ve been lucky.

R&W: You were at the

Blackburn match – what did

you make of Sunderland?

JK: I thought they played very

well. I thought it would be

a tough game but I thought

Sunderland dominated the

game, especially in the first

half. If that’s the standard of

this division then I think that

match should have given the

young lads at Sunderland a lot

of confidence.

R&W: Do you keep much

of an eye on football and

Sunderland in particular?

JK: I don’t get to many games

but I do follow Sunderland. In

the past a lot of my work meant

I couldn’t get to many games

but I’ve also got dogs and I feel

a bit guilty if I go to watch the

football on my day off when the

dogs are sitting in the house,

but I am hoping to get to some

more games this season.

R&W: In your first season at

Sunderland you played every

game as the third division was

won in 1987-88 – how do you

look back at that campaign?

JK: The thing is, the season

before I was at Wimbledon and

half way through that season I

did my Achilles so I had been

out for six months. When I

came to Sunderland I was just

getting over the injury so to

play every game was a little bit

of a surprise. We dominated

that season. We had the best

players and were the best team

in that league by far.

R&W: On the infamous day

Benno showed David Speedie

the sights of the Clock

Stand paddock you looked

desperate to join in. Have you

forgiven Benno for not letting

you make it a tag-match?

JK: It was little and large –

Benno picks on the little ‘uns

but no I’ve definitely not

forgiven him!

R&W: In the 1990 Play-off

semi-final you flattened

Newcastle’s Billy Askew but

the pair of you went back a

long time so didn’t he see it

coming?

JK: I’m from Great Lumley

and Billy lived across the road

from me. He was a couple of

years older than me but I used

to play football in the street

with him when we were kids.

He joined Middlesbrough and

everyone looked up to him

because he was an apprentice

and on the way to becoming

a pro footballer. He played

for Hull for a lot of years and

I still see him now and again. I

think he knew what was about

to happen when I went in for a

tackle on him!

R&W: You honestly admitted

you weren’t fit enough to play

in the 1992 FA Cup final. How

close were you?

JK: Malcolm Crosby gave me

every chance to be fit. When

you have a good cup run league

fixtures can mount up and we

had a lot of games in a short

space of time. It was a match

at Brighton where I got hurt.

Red&White / 41

I knew I was really struggling

and to be fair to the lads you

can’t just turn up on the Friday

and say, ‘I’m going to be fit for

the Saturday’ knowing full well

you aren’t going to be. I knew I

wasn’t going to make it.

R&W: Before you came to

Sunderland you had a spell

on loan to Middlesbrough

from Wimbledon. Have you

any memories of your time at

Ayresome Park?

JK: I was there for a couple

of months and thoroughly

enjoyed my time. The late Willie

Maddren was the manager. He

was an absolutely top bloke and

they had some good players.

Tony Mowbray was there and

so was Gary Pallister and Tony

McAndrew. Irving Nattrass had

presented me with a trophy

called the CD Watson Cup

when I was captain of my Junior

School in Great Lumley. He

was with Newcastle then and

then I was playing with him at

Middlesbrough. He used to

pick me up at Chester-le-Street

and give me a lift.

R&W: You can’t ever do a

Sunderland interview without

being asked about your last

game when you broke your

leg and pretended to be

rowing a boat when you were

carried off on a stretcher.

Were you not in agony?

JK: Whyaye – my leg was

broken! I was never to be seen

again but I had a great time

at Sunderland and I was very

fortunate.

THREE’S

A CROWD

Club historian Rob Mason examines the 50th anniversary of the 1973 FA

Cup win and the 110th anniversary of 1912-13 when the league title was

won and the cup final reached. The series also commemorates the 130th

anniversary of the 1892-93 season when the league title was retained.

6-0 wins over Aston Villa and

Royal Arsenal on this weekend

in 1893 and 1913 plus the

start of the run to the most

glorious of FA Cup triumphs

at this stage in 1973 make this

weekend a momentous one

in the trio of seasons being

featured in this series.

1972-73

Having progressed through

the third round of the FA Cup

by eliminating Notts County,

a fourth round home tie with

Charlie Hurley’s Reading

was the prize and we will

deal with that in the next

issue against, of all teams –

Reading.

In the meantime

Sunderland returned to

league action. There had

already been the start

of a revival as the Lads

looked to climb away from

the lower reaches of the

table and this continued

with a draw at Swindon

followed by a home win

over Millwall. Both games

involved debuts. The latest

piece of the cup-winning

jig-saw was left back Ron

Guthrie who made his bow

at Swindon on this weekend

in 1973. A week later Celtic

legend John Hughes made

what proved to be his only

appearance for Sunderland.

Playing alongside his brother

Billy- it remains the last time

two brothers played alongside

each other for Sunderland – as

detailed in today’s Historian

page. Unfortunately John was

injured early on and although

he limped through the rest of

the match he was never able to

Ron Guthrie made his debut at Swindon.

play for the club again.

At Swindon a late goal from

Ian Porterfield cancelled out

Joe Butler’s first half opener.

It was an important goal –

but obviously not Ian’s most

important strike of the season.

Second half goals by Dennis

Tueart and Bobby Kerr saw

off Millwall on a day that was

memorable for pop star Lulu

doing the half-time draw!

1912-13

This weekend in 1913 Charlie

Buchan was Sunderland’s

hero, as he was so often.

In what was described in

contemporary reports as a

thrilling game with Oldham

Athletic the man who

remains the club’s all time top

league goal-scorer scored an

equaliser quarter of an hour

from time, after the Latics

had led since the 14th minute,

through Gilbert Kemp. Any

supporters who turned up

Sunderland to a highest of the

season so far fourth position.

1892-93

This weekend in 1893 a hat-trick

by Jamie Millar, two goals from

Johnny Campbell and a goal

from Davy Hannah delivered a

6-0 hammering of Arsenal in

the FA Cup – or Royal Arsenal

in the English Cup to use the

names that were current at that

time. The Gunners were still

a non-league club, although

despite their hammering at

Sunderland – where they were

5-0 down by half time - they

were elected into the Football

League at the end of this

season – as were Newcastle

United, Middlesborough

Ironopolis, Liverpool and

Rotherham Town as the league

was expanded.

Jamie Millar scored a cup hat-trick against

Royal Arsenal and followed it up with a goal

in the win over Wednesday.

ACADEMY

SUNDERLAND AFC U21 0

NORWICH CITY U21 0

Sunderland bounced back from defeat against Middlesbrough to

take a well-earned point against an organised Norwich team at

the Academy of Light on January 13.

The match was a tale of two

defences with both teams

defending in numbers letting

little get past them during a

tense 90 minutes.

After a cagey opening 15

minutes, Norwich carved out

the game’s first opportunity

when midfielder Ben Watt tried

his luck from 20 yards out, but

Jacob Carney comfortably

collected his shot.

The visitors continued to apply

the pressure and came inches

from opening the scoring when

Harry Brook’s curling effort from

out on the left came crashing

back off Carney’s crossbar.

Sunderland came close to taking

the lead when Ethan Moore’s

perfectly timed cross from

the right fell to the feet of Ellis

Taylor inside the box, but the

Norwich defence managed to

make a last-ditch block to clear

the danger.

The hosts squandered a great

chance on the stroke of half

time when Nathan Newell

advanced past his man and

picked out Tom Scott on the

edge of the box – Scott’s first

time shot cleared McCracken’s

crossbar.

Sunderland started the second

half as they finished the first on

the attack, but Scott dragged

his attempt from outside the

box wide of McCracken’s far

post.

Moore was next to come close

to finding the back of the net

after Sunderland broke down

the left, but Ellis Taylor’s floated

cross was an inch too high for

Moore to direct the ball towards

McCracken’s goal.

In a game of few chances

Sunderland kept pushing

forward in the final few minutes

to find a breakthrough goal, but

Norwich held firm to claim a

point.

DURHAM WOMEN 2

Sunderland Women came from behind twice to achieve a thrilling

victory over Durham Women in the River Wear Derby at Eppleton

last Sunday.

Backed by a bumper crowd of

1,164 – a record attendance

since being back in the Barclays

Women’s Championship - Mel

Reay’s side fought back in the

second half to claim the spoils.

Sarah Wilson opened the

scoring for Durham before

Lasses’ new signing Liz Ejupi

equalised just before half time.

Rio Hardy converted a

penalty in the 61st minute,

but Sunderland fought back

once again, with Abby Holmes

and substitute Katy Watson

grabbing the second and third

respectively within the last 10

minutes.

Durham started on the front

foot in the first half, with Lily

Crosthwaite’s cross-shot looping

over the bar 10 minutes in.

On the 15 minute, Sarah Wilson

connected with a Beth Hepple

corner and headed past Claudia

Moan.

After a promising start to her

debut, Ejupi announced herself

on Wearside with a goal against

her former club. The striker

chopped onto her left foot

and whipped a shot across the

‘keeper and into the bottom

corner.

Both sides were fully committed

to the derby occasion,

highlighted in the 50th minute

as Wilson and Holmes collided

in a robust 50/50 challenge, with

both players up on their feet

straight away.

Mollie Lambert was brought

down in the box on the

60th minute, with Hardy

converting her penalty from the

spot to give Durham a 2-1 lead.

The Lasses responded brilliantly

once again and got their rewards

in the 83rd minute as Emma

Kelly’s corner dropped to the

feet of Holmes, who smashed a

shot past Naoisha McAloon to

equalise yet again.

Lee Sanders’ side almost replied

swiftly, but Moan made a great

stop to deny Wilson, tipping the

shot over the bar.

Substitute Katy Watson took

only eight minutes on the pitch

to make a crucial impact. The

ball was played through the

centre and Watson used her

pace to get there first and poke

a shot past the goalkeeper to

score Sunderland’s third and the

eventual winner.

With six minutes added on, the

Lasses still had to keep their

focus, and defended brilliantly

to see out a momentous derby

victory at Eppleton.
