Funny Sunderland story

[BAZZA1966]

Back in the late 90s, i was dating a lovely maccum lass whose stepfather was a massive Sunderland fan (Cecil), God rest his soul.

He entered a footie comp with local rag in the North East and won 1st Prize of £10 grand but he would not collect the prize as it was to be given to him at St James Park.

He waited more than a month after and had it reversed and collected at the newspapers offices.

Just to think our loyalty is stretched what would you have done if you won this prize and it had to be collected at SW6.

Your story goes downhill from here

What a legend! That's dedication! If i had to collect 10k from Stamford Bridge, in all honesty, I would be on the first train to Fulham Broadway!

Whilst I was there I would ensure I went for a "sit down" and "forget" to flush though, just so I feel better about having spent time at the skums HQ!

If I were the newspaper, as a surprise I would of arranged for Alan Shearer to present the cheque, to get my own back for the 'inconvenience.'

Good story tho, passionate are them narthen lads.

I would stand in the middle of stamford bridge pitch wearing a chelshit shirt on with Terry on the back if they wanted me to.

10 grand is 10 grand!!
