When I was very little, I was NUFC, much to my amazement looking back through holiday photos.
Thing was, my Gran was a Mag/Mackem and my parents never impressed Sunderland upon us (me and younger brother) as mam is not a die-hard fan and my Dad isn't from the NE, so we saw whatever was on tv, and ofc NUFC were brown-nosed at that time....
Things were quickly put right though when I got to like 6-7 mind and went to some games every now and again.

Love the lads in R+W like, I don't know what I'd do without them.
