No game last weekend: but feast your eyes on these Sunderland games of the past! The festive season has come and gone, New Year is a distant memory but the joys of Spring are still a while away – we still have the wintry conditions of late February to to get through.
So if you are a fan, why not settle down and warm your spirits with some excellent Sunderland memories? These game span the years I have been following the Lads, and I wish to thank those fans who posted these excellent games on Youtube...if you enjoy watching the lads, prepare yourself for a treat.
Sunderland vs. Man. Utd - 1968. I am embarrassed to say this was our last win at Old Trafford, and in those days Match of the Day was in black and white:

Lars Knutsen was born in Sunderland of Norwegian parents across the Wear from the SSOL back when shipbuilding not car manufacture was the city’s main industry. His first game was in 1968 and he has followed the Black Cats since then, with great memories of the 1973 FA Cup. He hopes the “yo-yo” days are over and defines supporting a team by whether the result affects your mood (but maybe not in the way portrayed in the book “Fever Pitch”!) so has been cheerful recently. He endured school in Newc**tle, has a Ph.D. in Chemistry, a Professorship at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia, and works in the Pharma industry as a consultant Medicinal Chemist.
