Bob Stokoe appreciation thread

[Dave Halliday]

Thank you for giving me one of the greatest days of my life.

Blessed be.

Thank you Bob. How could anyone forget the pace and trickery of Tueart and Hughes, the majesty of Dave Watson, the guile of Ian Porterfield, or the "robust" challenges of Vic Halom. There will always be a place in my heart for the team of 73 and the man who made it possible. Thank You.

Bob Stokoe is always, and will aways be, a star on Wearside. I know exactly what his family are going through at this moment and my thoughts and best wishes are with them and to the greatest manager 'the lads' have ever had.

Hopefully I'll never forget the best day out of my life.

sat.5thMay 1973 3.31pm.Ian Porterfield.....GERRIN.

Never forget your sprint across to Monty ...hope you dont .

Sincere Best Wishes.

I was five at the time and remember watching it on my Gran's TV in 19, St. Georges Terrace, Roker... The streets were empty. My Mam and Dad were away at the final... It's one of the few memories that stand out when I was that age, it will stay with me forever. The beginning of my love affair with the club.

Stokoe is a legend!... A statue would be the least the club could do!!!!!

best wishes to Bob and his family. I hope he was able to appreciate how much that day meant to so many. It is one of the defining moments in not only the history of SAFC but in English football.


a true legend.

I once played in a match that Bob refereed, he ran about with his famous trilbee hat on.
