Great video that.
To me it just proves that our club is the supporters and our past - owners, players and co change but we are the light that continues to burn.
It also proves to me another thing, god how much I miss Roker Park. It's a place in time now and never forgotten. Like one of the supporters said, he wishes he could go back one more time, I think anyone who had the luck to support the lads in that era would agree with that. I sometimes have a dream about Roker, not very often, but when I wake up I am always happy.

That can't be true. We were never there that early. I can't remember a helicopter display.

We had the Red Devils parachute onto the pitch from a helicopter (not a chinook). The helicopter then flew over the Roker End and looked like it was diving into the Fulwell before pulling up. It scared the bejesus out of me and I remember everyone laughing afterwards saying they’d nearly shit themselves.

I’d always assumed it was a picture of that moment as I thought people wouldn’t be looking like that at a ball in the air.

Great photo, and great clip regardless.
 
I have watched that for the first time. God it was emotional. Memories come flooding back - happy, happy times. Not just the 1st team matches but the other ones as well. Schoolboys playing there for the one and only time. All the history and the photo captures everything that makes us Sunderland. Brilliant - thank you.
 
Aye, great video that. Lump in throat time all the way through. We are (or certainly were) a special club. Hopefully itll come again.
But being realistic i think the modern game has ultimately passed us by.
 
Absolute class video, I’ve watched it years ago but still enjoyed it greatly.
A lot of fans of clubs across the country will identify with a lot of it.
I think a lot of what Stuart the photographer said was very insightful particularly not being a safc fan.
He hit bullseye with that photo, as said iconic.
