The day before I was born we beat Villa 2-1 at Roker Park, in a season we finished 3rd, and played out 2, 2-2 derbies. Mags finished 5th.
Ah, those were the days.
 
Portsmouth at home. Oct 27 1956. 3-3 draw. We were bottom of the league then..division one. Managed to hang on eventually by being third bottom that season.

I should give crawled back inside
 
Beat Southampton 2-0 at Roker. On my birthday as well. Crowd of 27,161. No idea who scored though
 
Was between a 2-2 draw at Anfield and a 6-6 draw at home in Norman Clarkes Testimonial, with Monty scoring twice for us and Bobby Charlton getting a hat trick for the opposition!!

Been all downhill since............
 
Mine was a 1-1 draw with derby in a rather strange season according to stat cat. We lost to Walsall on the first day of the season, then heavily to Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield, within a week we'd beat Stoke at home, then lost heavily to Liverpool in the League again :eek:, not sure how that worked. It then reverted to type, we drew with Newcastle away 2-2, then tonked them 3-0 at home later in the season. For those games there were 57,000 at Roker, but a mere 53,000 at St James, despite what they may tell you.... oh and as usual we finished as bridesmaids again, in 3rd place behind Liverpool and Orient, but mind the gap, a massive 14 points ahead of the mags ( 2 points for a win as well)
 
We beat West Brom 2-1 the day after I was born. Charlie Fleming got the goals and Stan Anderson and Len Shackleton were both in the team.

Half time entertainment was provided by the Police Dog Display team and there was a fly past in my honour by the Red Arrows in their Sopworth Camels.
 
Right in between a 1-0 home win over Scunthorpe and a 2-0 home win over Portsmouth. Ambrose Fogarty scored in the first game, 2 goals by Ian Lawther in the second.
