Newcastle's football team would have folded but for Sunderland having a charity match and whip round for them.
 
1-9

It will NEVER be beaten in our lifetime and the mags will go to their grave knowing that famous victory could never be overturned.

Everything else is irrelevant.

If you didn't put that little bit at the end then I may have took the bait.

It's incredible just how much the sheer mention of 1-9 gets right under the skins of mags. It rattles them. Massively.
 
O
...and especially our chums at True Faith, as I know you're looking - up yours you black and white bastards.

Fellow SAFC fans, put the twats in their place here - facts, pisstakes, and puerile insults all welcome.

I'll start.

Ask any football fan around the country who won the FA Cup three times in the 1950's, and the answers you'll get will no doubt include Blackpool, Bolton, Wolves, Royal Engineers etc. Actually, it appears it was Newcastle. It must pain them, given their thirst for being recognised as a global superpower and one of the biggest clubs in the world, that hardly any fucker outside NewcastleGateshead knows this. Conversely, Sunderland winning the cup in 1973 is regarded one of the iconic finals of all time, with a number of iconic images to boot (Stokoe embracing Monty, Bobby lifting the cup, Monty's save, Porter's volley etc.). Their iconic cup moment is Ronnie Radford.

"Best supporters in the world." Dyed-in-the-world mag Bob Stokoe, in reference to the Sunderland supporters in a pre-match interview at the 1973 Final.

The Fairs Cup. Ah, a competition so prestigious UEFA wanted fuck all to do with it, and when they did they re-branded the fucker. You'll find Barcelona's replica of the Fairs Cup tucked behind the Catalan Combination League Trophy from 1899, gathering dust. Lots of dust.

St James' Park was overlooked as a venue for the 1966 World Cup because it was shite. Roker Park on the other hand, was a shoe-in as the best ground in the North East. Even as a ghost, it's still better than the Barrack Road carbuncle.

The North East record attendance of 75,118 was set at Roker Park for a match involving Sunderland and Derby; almost 7,000 more than the mags' best effort.


Ooooh I'll take them one by one.....

1) True that is regarded as one of the iconic finals due to the contrast between the two teams, Leeds, one of Europes top teams at the time and Sunderland, a poor team from the division below, something it would take that team a few years to escape.

2) He would say that, he was your manager at the time. Your Chairman of a few years wouldn't be so gushing about your support.

3) UEFA describes the Fairs Cup as the forerunner to the UEFA cup even though it wasn't ran by them. In 1968 it was based on league placing and not volunteers and trade fairs.

4) True, I've seen pics and it was basically one stand and 3 terraces, good job it had changed a bit to host Euro 96 games, which teams did you see at Roker ?

5) 37,000 glory hunters coming out for a big cup game as Sunderlands highest league attendance that season was 38,401 (lowest was 3,911 with an average of 17,254). Up at Newcastle they had a league high of 50,000 and a low of 8,000.
