Wayne Entwhistle

[Vauxie]

Pity. Maybe he could help coach Vaughan
How's the Bintang?

Haven't had any for a while, stuck over in Singapore on a project.
This weekend going over

Loved him me. He was kind of an anti-hero, I think we all knew he wan't that good but by fuck, he tried. Remember a goal he scored at the Roker End when he threw himself at a way ward shot masquerading as a cross & it went in like a bullet.

 

[Deleted member 6830]

Would he get a game in this side? I mean at his peak not now

 

[Mak70]

Bollox, I loved Wayne, never forget he scored a magnificent goal in the Lord Rowell game at the shit tip

Class. And what a kit. Love the commentary before the penalty. "There' boos and whistles we could do without." Well said sir!

The great Roly eh..Were you there when he missed the open goal at Fulwell end from about 4 yards out ? Kicked over the bar. Think his one and only match? Heard Gafaffii the pit yacker shout knowingly to a silenced, disbelieving Fulwell end , "he tried to knock his fatha out of the tree." Days before racial enlightenment hit Roker....whatever happened to Wor Roly?

I had progressed from the Fulwell to the Clock Stand seats by the time Roly came to the club. I think his overall lack of skill is the reason I remember him so well. I remember Wayne Entwistle scoring a diving header into the Roker end goal when the ball as about 12 inches from the ground. Now compare that to some of the half hearted fannies we've had recently!!

 

[10 Gary Rowells]

Tom Ritchie

The pencil-like figure that was Tom Ritchie. Did he even score for us?

 

[Dan..Dan..Dan..Dan]

Six foot two, eyes of blue, big Jim Holton's after you.

 

[rentaghost]

Bit of a James Vaughan type, not that good but worked his socks off. Did the knock down for Alan Brown to score at Wrexham iirc

 

[Bombadil]

The Entwistle hat-trick v Bristol Rovers is on The Sunderland Big Match DVD. Snow, Roker Park, orange ball and Kenneth Wolsenholme commentating on a 5-0 win what more could you ask for!

My first game !

 

[bernardbresslaw]

Looked after Rowell on the pitch...

Roly Gregoire (think that's how you spelled it). The first black player to play for Sunderland. He wasn't very good played on the wing.

Always put himself about on the pitch. Wasn't blessed with skill but made up for it with 100 per cent effort.

Now I really liked him good centre half as they called them back then. Had him on loan didn't manage to buy him from Man Utd.

 

[Forty]

Mel Holden and Rod Belfitt were two of the worst I remember who would get a game now.

I would take Super Mel and Pop Robson playing up front right now.

Orange ball because of the snow, won 5-1 against one of the Bristol teams, admittedly can't remember if it was City or Rovers

Loved them days at Roker Park in the Fulwell End. Moved to the Roker End mid 80s, then The Clockstand Paddock in the early 90s, occassionally used to go in the Mainstand Paddock near the Roker End if the away fans were in the big corner just for the banter

Loaned and then bought IIRC.

 

[Roker Pierre]

Cracking, that Speedie was a nasty piece of work. Would've fit in with Revie's Leeds. Talking of which, that scrap was good but not as good as Francis Lee v Norman Hunter.

Was class we started in Roker End then paddock right next to players tunnel. Used to bray on the tunnel when the players ran out

I didn't realise he'd died aged 42 from a heart attack. I think he may have played for Coventry in the fit-up game v Bristol City.

Nor did I mate.
