Facts about the lads that are trueish



Despite having different parents, and one of them being born in Northern Ireland, Phil, Martin and Mickey Gray were actually the first triplets to play for Sunderland. Then a few years later their son Andy also 'played' for Sunderland.
 
Eric Gates, as demonstrated in post 61 above, was a master of disguise utilising a range of toupees (made for him by his brother Basil) and appeared one Xmas season as Cinderella at the Sunderland Empire. Basil's son co-incidentally went on to be a computer whizz in the USA.
