I remember Sunderland forgetting their kit and then the following season rain so clearly. Crazy to think they were 25 years ago.

Don’t remember the Crichton Warner mix up, but worth watching.

Me neither. But I do remember being drunk off at the absolute capitulation by Town. And the Mackem singing that cheer up Peter Reid song all offing match. When you look at how far we've fallen getting tonked 4-0 by a team soon promoted to the Premier League sounds better than it did all those years ago.
