Sunderland: 100 years in the football league.

Anyone got this book? Picked it up in that new entertainment store in the bridges for £2.99, an absolute bargain. It is a collection of photos taken by an amateur photographer around the time when Dennis smith took us to the first division. Photos of the players personal lives, charlie hurley opening the new training ground, ground staff, roker at its finest, and much more.

Also a photo of thomas hauser chilling with his legs open

I'd advise any of you who like this kind of thing to get it like. If I remember on I'll take it to work with me tomorrow and scan in some of the best photos from it.

Not written by MBH is it?

Sounds interesting like, might look out for it.

Aye, some canny pictures. Did you spot the error with the 'derby day' photo?

My personal fave is the pic of Denis Smith with wife and kids.....looks like something out of the American 50's

Mighty swell.

Is this the one (A4 size) that came out in our centenary year, if so I've got that with all the first team autographs inside the front page.

Aye I think mate, bob murray does the introduction. I just seen it when inside the shop and thought for £2.99 it was worth a look. The photo of the team coming out at wembley for the playoff final is class.

Sounds good.

I really think we way under utilise our history, I know we have endured shite for years but we do have an illustrious history. Keane redressed the balance TBF to him when he was here (I think he was shocked at how bare the celebration of our history was) but the club could still do more.

You wouldn't really think we'd done much more than 1973 TBH the way we "market" our history.
