That time he did that log roll too for no apparent reason.Boro away I think. Also televised.
What a guy!
Maybe that was just a player having a bad game?He may have been able to run about a lot but you could tell when he was hungover, gray was a good player with the ball at his feet then odd games he'd look like he'd never seen a football before.

I recall a period of time that he was getting pelters from the crowd. Awful performances.He may have been able to run about a lot but you could tell when he was hungover, gray was a good player with the ball at his feet then odd games he'd look like he'd never seen a football before.
Appointing Alan Brown instead of Bill Shankly. Then Stokoe instead of Brian Clough.
And nothing happened post match, unreal
Like a magnificent lion one minute and a Jack Russell with a balloon the next.That time he did that log roll too for no apparent reason.

Yes very good. I was introduced to Roker Park as a ten year old in 1957. I watched the team develop into eventual promotion favourites in 1961 after the signing of Clough. They played Liverpool, managed by Shankley in the first home league game of 1961-2. Liverpool had also been busy in the transfer market with Ian St John and Ron Yeats among their new recruits. We, as promotion favourites had lost to Walsall on the Saturday and we expected to turn Liverpool over. However, they absolutely outplayed us and despite a goal from Clough they beat us 4-1. I was convinced I had seen the promotion favourites and it wasn't us. We did well after that but it took three more years to win promotion, the loss of Clough cost us an awful lot. I loved that team, still my favourites but given the choice I would rather have had Shankley. After being stuck in the Second Division for a few years he got them up and much more than kept them there.
This is canny though
Haha! Although strangely, not!Now there speaks the voice of a Jack Russell owner
Loved that phrase. It just sums up the chaotic, carefree way they bounce aboutHaha! Although strangely, not!

It's a shame it didn't work out for him at Sunderland seemed to love the place.Yes very good. I was introduced to Roker Park as a ten year old in 1957.

Yes, I walked out of the Roke End in shock. I remember the music as we were leaving Elvis singing It's Now or Never, strange how little things stick in your mind. Liverpool were comfortable league winners we were never quite good enough. Gaining promotion with such a small forward line was a big disadvantage.Was at that game.
We were well beat.
My dad was from Middlesbrough and I went through with him and went to the Middlesbrough - Brighton game with a cousin. The score was silly, 9-3 or 9 -5 to Boro, Clough got 5 goals. I was like a dog with two tails when we signed him. We always seem to shy away, for whatever reason, from real success, the directors are said to have thought that Shankley wasn't a gentleman. I suppose that's one way of putting it.It's a shame it didn't work out for him at Sunderland seemed to love the place.
How many chances have Sunderland thrown away over the years manYes, I walked out of the Roke End in shock.

Times without number, we struggle, seem to turn the corner and it turns sh*t. Who would have thought when Quinn and Phillips were banging them in that we would have two decades of struggle, lowest points and now this. Sickening really.How many chances have Sunderland thrown away over the years man
