Random boring anomalies from Sunderland games..



Colin West scoring in the second leg Milk Cup semi final with a police horse in the 18 yard box

That supporter against QPR (about 2012) in the east stand wearing a half Sunderland half QPR top
 
Hit the wall at work so my mate sends me some train spotter random facts involving SAFC games.
1. 73 Cup final yellow ball.. why?
2. QPR home game 1979 when they ran out in our blue away strip
3.Leeds at home 1980 4-1 when all the printed numbers were peeling off the players shirts like a pub team kit!
Sad as fuck I know but anyone got anymore?....

Away to Chelsea in the FA cup quarter final in 1992. We had two players on the pitch with the same number on their shirt. Anton Rogan had to go off and change his top and the nation was treated to seeing the vest he was wearing underneath. I mean, it was the kind a 6 year old would wear for P.E.
 
Martin Scott and Stickman scoring in. the fog at Southend and not realising until we had scored until Given punched the air
And then cheering as if a goal had been scored every time the players disappeared into the fog at their end.

Beating Charlton 2-1 with a last-minute goal in the first game of the season and then losing 1-2 to Charlton with a last-minute goal in the last game of the season. :cry:

Not sure if this counts, but Leeds away in 1991. They beamed it back to Roker and put the big screen at the Clockstand. Unfortunately, the sun was setting so you couldn't see the picture at all. Essentially, everyone there paid £5 to listen to Roger Thames' commentary and we lost 5-0 :neutral:
 
Roy O'Donovan scoring vs Birmingham whilst Stern John was sitting on their keeper
other way round mate , roy o'donovan never had the pleasure of scoring for us

Anton Ferdinand going full on Michael Jackson dance after scoring v spurs only for it to be ruled out and him being the last person in the ground to find out
