Every night game since that infamous evening has never  quite lived up to March 85, I swear getting out the car that evening you literally could smell and feel the moody atmosphere

It's funny I was looking at a Sunderland forum about that night a while ago talk about rewriting history they were saying we only had 4,000 for the first leg you can double that and they had 5,000 at the Bridge you can half that. They spent the evening cowering in the Northstand and were nowhere to be seen outside and were escorted to their bricked out coaches.

Yep, soon as I saw picture and before reading your post I clocked him, I’m sure somewhere he was interviewed a few years ago in fanzine regarding that Huddersfield picture, and don’t get me started on Diamond Pringles Bluehaze! 😁
