Aye. I’m on there when I was about 13/14. Front row on right hand side. Blue jumper.
Only problem is I wasn’t born until 1978
It’s definitely not my dad or my uncle either so I’ve got a double kicking about somewhere in Sunderland

Not in 1970 I was stood in front of him (and his girlfriend) in the Fulwell End (Clockstand corner) getting pelted with sharpened coins.
"Away from the pitch, a marauding group of around 300 Newcastle fans threw bricks, smashing windows of houses and shops on the way to Roker Park, where further vandalism saw 30 windows at the ground broken, while a car was overturned at Fulwell bus depot in a senseless, terrifying scene.
Police confiscated a bag of weapons thrown over the wall by a group of skinheads at the Fulwell End.
The weapons included chisels, blades, scissors, chains and sharpened coins.
Meanwhile, hundreds of fans were unable to force their way on to the Roker End terrace."

This little story shows the sides to his big character. He came on an all-day booze & footy Civil Service trip to York with a mutual mate. After a few beers we dipped into a fish & chips restaurant for a bite to eat. He told me off for not eating my peas. Afterwards (and before getting back on the beer) he said he must dip into a souvenir shop to buy a thimble for their lass to add to her collection. A good lad to be side by side with on your away days. RIP The Bear.

Allan was a bus driver at that time. He came on the trip with our mutual mate Kenny S (another away day character).

Sad news. An absolute trench fighter for the Sunderland cause. I was surprised to discover he was such a lovely fella after he let me on the bus for nowt some 20 years back and shared some top banter. He'll also probably be remembered for laying out numerous Leicester fans down Filbert Street after they came on strong with knives the kernts

Kenny Smith - great bloke, I used to get the same bus as him going to Longbenton. My first meeting was in the Boddies brewery tap when we played United, he could certainly sup some beer
He did, along with tash
