SAFC v Palace FA cup 1976


Was a very disappointing experience at 13 years old, which was a foretaste of many disappointments over the years.

Massive expectant crowd, Fulwell End rammed, and off my feet in the crowd numerous times. As has been said, unbeaten at home in the league that season. Malcolm Allison in his Fedora getting dogs abuse and half eaten pies flung at him.

Happy Days :lol:
 
Remember it like it was yesterday
Before my time but typical Sunderland in an unbeaten league season at home we lose to a third division team.

Never progressed again to the fifth round, let alone the 6th, until the 1992 Cup run. Remember thinking as a young fan we were absolutely jinxed in Cup as year after year were knocked straight out.
