I was there when

...the Mags fans sang 'Going down, going down, going down' and we replied with 'so are we, so are we, so are we'.

...Milton Nunez was introduced to the crowd

...three players made the biggest balls up of a pre-rehearsed (I use the term loosely) free kick in the Wilkinson / Cotterill era

...Nuggsy put Del Piero on his arse

...Nuggsy frequently put himself on his arse

...the message came over the tannoy for a bloke to go to the hospital cos his wife was giving birth, and he stood in the access tunnel and waved at the crowd

Was there when he did THAT back pass!

I can't even think about it without spending at least five minutes with a baffled look on my face even now!
By far and away the biggest WTF moment in my Sunderland supporting life.
Thankfully, I only saw it on the telly. Regrettably, so did millions of others!

...there were more Sunderland fans in the JJB than Wigan fans (CCC title winning season).

Class day, even though our Coach got bricked by some little shit of a kid.

Being very picky, but there weren't more Sunderland fans than Wigan. There were around 7000-8000 Sunderland in a record crowd (at that time for Wigan) of 25000.
 
Danny Blanchflower pissed his shorts.
Monty hacked the ball straight to Denis Law and our Cup dream evaporated.
Benno strangled Speedie.
Cloughie got crocked.
Cloughie scored his one and only goal in the top flight.
Sandy Mclaughlan turned out for us pissed as a fart.
We tonked the Mags at their place and Neil Martin scored a header from outside the box.
We played a fifteen year old kid in goal.
Loads more but I can't be arsed. :lol:

Me too for all of these, plus:
...Dave Watson and Monty kept us in the cup against Notts County away in January 1973
...we beat Benfica (Eusebio et al) at Roker Park in a friendly game
...Dennis Tueart scored a fantastic individual goal v FC Vasas (spelling?) in Budapest in the Cup Winners Cup

Man United were in the Fulwell End.
We played Citeh away in 73.
I was in the Arsenal end at Hillsborough 73.
The Final.
My memory is fecked but in no particular order,
Villa away 18,000 of us.
