Big Geordie

For me - Obviously KK from his spell as a player, but I also loved Chris Waddle (his drop of the shoulder and he was off!) - also John Anderson. The latter was as hard as nails and probs our best ever free transfer signing.

Saggy rack on the left, there.

I often used to see him wandering around Eldon Square, when I worked in town 20 years ago. Do remember seeing him root through bins, but never saw him beg.

He apparently slept rough in the Rising Sun Country Park and he actually died around Thunder Thursday, back in 2012. Think his body was found around there.

I think that game and others from Mexico 70 may well be on YouTube?

I’m happy if he signs on. He’s been very solid during his loan spell and he comes across as a good lad too. ?

It's been utter pish. Like watching us under Bruce. Tiredness rolled out as an excuse again?

I wish the lad well - he's been a great servant to us.

Grimsby back in the football league.

RIP Albert from Wooler. He will be a big miss on Total Sport.

Because it's part of our roots/history. When my dad was a kid, a lot of men and boys went to watch us one week and the mackems the next. My dad is still a Mag but kinda looks out for all the north east. He also leans towards Arsenal, for some reason.

No - I've lived most of my life, just across the water in Stakeford/Bedlington/Cambois. I know what I'm on about. Ashington has a sizeable amount of mackem supporters.

Lot of Sunderland supporters in Ashington and north northumberland.

He looks all arms and legs (as Shola did), but he looks like he had good balance and composure. Defo not the finished article, but there may well be a real player in there.

Charlie boy flipping his shares then?

He must be well proud!

Oh dear. He was an excellent keeper, in his day.

Forest. OG

Hoping for a Forest win - would be good to see them back in the PL. #traditionalist

Real got this, IMO. A very determined team. Scousers have huffed and puffed.

If we ever make the CL final, BT will drag out Owen, allardyce and Bruce.

BT saying opening ceremony going to start very soon.
