Iconic SAFC Photos



The thread about the Sunderland fan photo got me thinking about other iconic SAFC photos.

I’ll start, in a match against Bury at Roker Park on 26 December 1962, in icy conditions and torrential rain, Brian Clough was put through on goal and collided with the goalkeeper. Clough tore the medial and cruciate ligaments in his knee, an injury which in effect ended his playing career.

Logon or register to see this image

Probably already been said but Bob Stokoe was playing for Bury on that day and ran over to Clough to tell him to "stop codding" cos he thought he was feigning it. Clough never forgave him for that.

For some reason i thought it was Bob Stokoe who was giving Clough shit for that.

You're right it was.

EDIT: f***ing hell I've had a nightmare here, it's only been mentioned about half a dozen times before my post... :lol:
