I’d forgotten that Alan Sunderland foul on Munro, definite red
 


First game I went to without my dad who was ill I would have been 14.

Remember getting home and had to tell him about the game virtually minute by minute.


1st goal straight from the kick-off - the all time classic rendition "your not signing anymore"

Sunderland v Arsenal 3-0 win

Rowell hat trick. Despite that, imo this was frank worthingtons best game for SAFC
Ha'way Back When: Sunderland star Gary Rowell's first ever Roker Park hat-trick leaves Arsenal in the cold

I’ve seen footage, which maybe on the centenary video of this game


I do.


Described as mild hysteria by Barry Davies :lol:

I was in the Clockstand Paddock not far from the half way line..the reception/noise was unreal..the Utd fans were in stunned silence.

Class, Hank, la. I was there. Loved Big Frankie Worthington. I used to watch him warming up. His regime was mainly belching.
Wee Stan, la. Rowell was nee giant either. I loved Jimmy Nicholl anarl.
Pat Jennings: possibly the deepest voice in football.

Dinnar how Keith Hackett didn't send Bob Dylan off, like. Totally forgot that they had Lee Chapman.

Just been down intiv our kitchen & had a mug of Bovril & three cream crackers, for owld times' sake. Haven't had a Bovril in years. Class.

The Kieron Brady thread got me reminiscing about Frank Worthington, so I tried youtube for any SAFC footage with Frank in, this erroneous result came up but what a cracker that I'd forgotten about. Only saw the highlights on MotD but what a game to miss! Who was there that day?

In the Clockstand for this one, shocking turn out from Arsenal fans, came dressed with tinsel and party blowers expecting an easy day, never heard a peep from them after 10 mins, some things don’t change.

Top of the range with white piping down the arm. Why I thought it was good wear on that bloody ice age game, I’ll never know :lol:

We were in that corner of the Roker amidst the absolute ructions, between the floodlight and the main stand.

Love how dark the stands are late in the second half, last season or maybe it was actually the season before when there was a lights failure in the Stands at the SOL it gave me a massive rush and powerful flashback to Roker Park, pity everything is lit up like a Christmas tree now for TV and safety etc.

Funny seeing someone in the paddock in the kappa ski coat which were "in" at the time. Few small flags too, what stage were we at in the Milk Cup when this was played?

Do any of our younger smb'ers who didn't get to experience RP enjoy watching these old match highlights?

We played Spurs at home in the 4th round in the same week as the Man Utd game, surprisingly there was a bigger attendance for the Spurs game.
 
Ah happy days ! Roker End main stand paddock for me and the old man both games

Loved a freezing cold day at Roker Park

Man Utd fan was sitting in the lower seats and after each man Utd goal was given us loads of shite by halftime he fucked off after our 3rd right on HT
He didn't reappear for the 2nd half Ha ha

Frankie Worthington coming to the end of his career but loved him had a footballing brain and a cracking left peg

Then physco Munro thought he would have chinned Alan Sunderland but got up and got on with the game hard as nails Munro
Still can see Andy Kings pain after Munros wipeout v Everton that day

Keith Hackett poor ref but better than refs today

Memories !

Love the sound quality of the Roker Roar, the sound is very different to today. A wonderful powerful force

I was in the Fulwell End, had driven up from Leeds Uni that morning with some friends.... parked by the river... late and missed their first goal. What a first half though...
