Met a former Player last night


I remember getting his autograph around 1967 at the training ground(moor lane).He must have been a youth team player then.

Out with some of the family last night and this oldish fella came to our table to speak with my nephews mother in law ( no )
The fella was none other than Bobby Park who last featured in an SAFC shirt in 1972
Very nice bloke

Must of recognised you from the Sunderland Message Board. We're all famous, I was having a quiet pint in this small pub in the Orkney Isles when Julie Roberts came over to me and said "Hi Rob, fancy a quickie round the back". I said "Piss off Julie, some bastard will pinch my pint"
 
Way before my time, but got his leg broken by a Leeds player, might have been Giles.
Spectators at the game recken it was more than an accident
Fans from that generation have told me, he was never the same player after that
 
I saw him a few times. He looked like he would become a regular, but his broken leg put a stop to that. It's a long time ago but I think I was there when it happened.

Did he tell you that Ballard was out for the season, Roefs may never play again due to a muscle problem and that KLD is selling up to Mike Ashley?

That's usually how these random meetings tend to go
