Midfield
Anyone remember this momentous occassion?
A glorified friendly, played in front of a half full SOL, at the end of the 1998/99 season. Something to do with you lot being the last team to win the football league that century and us being the team, at the time, to win it the most.
They even played the national anthem before kick off as if it was a cup final. It might have even been televised!
A few things i remember from this night are:-
1 - Your lot not being best pleased when the 600 (approx) away fans sang You'll Never Walk Alone rather than God Save The Queen.
2 - Bayern Munich flags amongst the travelling fans (Man Utd had them the following week in the European Cup final).
3 - A lone Sunderland fan in replica top windmilling in to the away end. Don't think he actually hit anyone and our end just looked at him in bemusement. He then walked back to his seat and carried on watching the game.
Anyone on here attend this or even remember it?
