Was I the only one welling up watching that? Far too many memories. It was the first game I ever watched... because my dad was there. RIP Jimmy.

I was at his one and only game, late January 1973 against Millwall.
He did his knee in and that was that. Never played football again.
He was indeed the brother of Billy Hughes.
I was surprised as I naively thought all Sunderland fans would recognise all the names of the team to win our last trophy, as I recognise all the team names from the 1937 FA cup winning team even though that was 35 years before I was born.
Mind I had to google John Hughes. I don't remember his single appearance for us.
I was there … we bought a crock… the video is intended to be every player who appeared for us that season i assume.
There may be others without looking. Thinking John Latham in particular

When Bob appears i was done, very emotional

I thought that was fantastic, the look on the old lads faces as their younger selves walked in was magic.

Brian Chambers.
He was actually the sub in the semi final
Holy fcuk. I read the messages before I watched the video so I thought I was kind of prepared. I wasn't. It's rare that i have tears rolling down my cheeks but I just lost it when Ian Porterfield was sat there. So many childhood memories. If only I could shake my dads hand like that, he was a MLF but passed away in 69 before my first match. Brilliant post.
Seriously?
You had to Google John Hughes!
What's the modern generation coming to?
Got injured in his first game first us I think. Played for Celtic,Billy's big brother.I was surprised as I naively thought all Sunderland fans would recognise all the names of the team to win our last trophy, as I recognise all the team names from the 1937 FA cup winning team even though that was 35 years before I was born.

Billy Hughes? That looked nowt like him in the cup run, he had more hair! All the others were pretty good, but that was hopeless.
