The Craig Russell game
1995/96 Sunderland v Millwall - Div 1 (09/12/95)
This is the game that fucked their season
They were in freefall after this game and were relegated iirc
They were top werent they? IIRC it's the game that got our promotion momentum started too.
There were a few Millwall sitting in the Clockstand, Roker end. We were sitting right in front of them (about 30 of them?).Was eight years old at the time, and apart from it being f***ing class, it stands out in my memory as being the only game I ever sat in The Clock Stand. Amazing.
Very special memories as my son was born 3 days before. Got him enrolled in the London Branch on the day he was born.
Mrs TVM (no pics) was bringing the baby home that day so I couldn't get to the game but got them home from hospital in time for the Saturday afternoon football scores.
So as other posters said, it was 2nd against 1st and we thrashed them 6-0.
Bought the video of that game and will try to watch the game again soon, probably when I'm back in UK for Christmas.
IIRC it was the London branch Chistmas party the next day (in Swiss Coattage?) and the grown-ups left poor Santa to look after the kids whilst we watched a video of the match.
