I saw Sunderland beat Sheffield united 4-1in 1965,with Jim Baxter and Charlie Hurley playing.Amazing atmosphere and fans.Even though I’m an Arsenal fan it left me with a soft spot for the club.I hope you stay up this year.PS,Charlie Hurley lives near me in Broxbourne.Small world eh?

Having moved away from the N/E my visits were infrequent over the last few years, but the fondest memory was Gordon Armstrong’s headed winner against Chelsea in the Q/F replay, we eventually lost in the final to Liverpool , but the excitement that night was on a par with the 3-1 win in the cup against Man City back in 1973, night games were always special at Roker park the atmosphere was heightened and there were some great games over the years. Stan Cummins goal in the 1-0 derby win in 1980 was special, I’ve never heard the Sunderland crowd (roker roar) as loud as they were that day. Biggest disappointment was losing 1-0 to Palace in a cup Q/F in 1976 when our home record for that season was won 19 drew 2 lost 0. Never a dull moment, being a Sunderland supporter is something really special. Wherever life takes you , the first thing you do is look for the match result every Saturday. Howay the lads!!!

I worked at Roker park started there in 1966 funny enough for the world cup, my first game was Italy v Russia. I startad on the boys gate number 32 in the Fulwell end i worked on the turnstiles for a few years the was asked to join the counting-house team.The counting-house was where turnstile operators reported after they were closed down and were told if they had the right total of cash according to the number on the turnstile clock, I worked there until Roker park closed ‘oh so many happy times’
