Canny read this, my favourite bit was the quote from James Catton who wrote a match report for the Athletic News after the famous 9-1 away win in Northumberland:
" when some beardless boys have become grandfathers, they will gather the younger generation round them and tell a tale of Tyneside, about the stalwart Sunderland supporters who travelled to St James Park and thrashed the famous Novocastrians as if they had been a poor lot of unfortunates from some home for the blind. The greatest match of the season provided the sensation of the year and we shall have to turn back the days to when the game was in its infancy for a parallel performance. Never have I watched forwards who have seized their opportunities with more eagerness and unerring power"
Now that's what I call writing
