Stewart Donald, has just offered to visit me dad at home



I tweeted earlier about how I was going to bite the bullet and go myself, I tagged him and sunderland in (first time, just as a way of showing support).
I’m not easily gobsmacked but I got this tweet in reply

“Fantastic. I am sure we could organise a visit to him if he can’t make it to us - if you think it is possible. Just send me a DM and if there is anything u would like us to do we will try. Thank him from me for his support. I can try and pop and see him before the game Sunday ?”

There will always be debate about intentions, money, motives. But this is something he just didn’t have to do.
This is a personal side to football I thought had gone.

An honour to be your 400th like- im enjoying safc again- its not all about premier league money - its about people
 
Did they just talk football or did the teaching etc get a mention as well ?

Not daft these lads, sitting down and talking to a sensible life long fan must reassure them somewhat after some of the lunatics on social media
He chatted about teaching, he asked about my first game, I said it was Jim Montgomery’s testimonial but me dad couldn’t take me because a kid had broken his leg in football practice at school :)
He also said adults now tell him it’s his fault they support Sunderland :)
