I know it’s been posted before, but does anyone know the story behind the framed Hummel blue away kit in this pub behind Kings X?

I went in the a few times in the early 90s and don’t remember it on the wall then.

Manager is a Skunk...

Felt sorry for us after the cup Derby palaver and decided to put some SAFC Memorabilia up. If you look closely at the wooden bar top, it's got SAFC FTM scrawled into the surface, written by himself. Legend is, they're never going to remove it....

Next time we play them (if ever), all his Skunk mates are going to be booted out and it's getting filled with Sunderland supporters.

Got a couple of framed SAFC framed pictures in the corner aswell, 73 iirc. Do a canny Sunday dinner aswell, popped in on the way from Goodge St Prem Inn to catch the train, was a few Villa lads in playing pool, think they were playing Spurs. Decent pub off the beaten track.

Didn't notice any Mag stuff, mostly photos of celebrities etc, The Dolphin down the road is definitely a Mag pub though .

That definitely wasn't up the last time I went in 2 years ago as we were sat where the pool table is is now, was near the door next to the dart 🎯 board.
The 2 other SAFC photos are in the corner next to the pool table.
