Favourite Tees/Wear memories

I'm looking for games at AP or the Riverside ideally but you can also choose an away game if you wish.

This one stands out for me. 3-0 win and we outclassed them throughout the match. It was early on in the season and at the time I'd felt we'd signed a genuine superstar in the making in Maccarone.

 
Thunderstorm during the friendly at the Riverside getting the match abandoned at half time.

Was hilarious until we actually left the stadium. Wet is an understatement
 
I know you said you'd prefer home ones - but the first Sunderland ones that come to mind are the Emerson thunderbolts.

My home memories are tarnished by that win at the Riverside when they atrocious in the PL era so that's always what comes to mind first. Was it Tommy Miller scoring after 90 seconds? Then Arca scored a controversial free-kick.
 
The 17 seconds game always brings back happy memories.. that one even had a double sending off with Johnny Hendrie seeing red for booting one of their lads up the arze.. and he got sent off for his troubles too!

I also remember a game, possibly under Lennie, I think we won 3-0 and Don Goodman missed a penalty in front of the East End.

Yeah, and Arca scored from a free-kick. Was a sickener.

At least we got revenge though with a 0-3 win in the reverse fixture.
 
0-3 at their place. Christie and Riggott.

I was there with my mates from school and we were dressed in white overalls. The Boro faithful serenaded us with "who let the smogs out!" 🤣
 
Being at Roker Park stood in the Roker Terrace 13 years old with a few of my mates on Arthur Harrisons coach from the Rosie Pub 73/74 Winning 2-0 Foggon and Mills over 40,000 there, and I was at the front of the terrace with my legs through the hoops in the wall at pitch side, and believe it or not - we were being protected/ looked after by Sunderland fans. (wouldnt happen these days or would it?)

When the linesman flagged Dennis Tueart offside, Tueart ran right up to the lino and put the V`s up and told him where to go, the Linesman flagged the referee had a word and Tueart was sent off. I didnt realise at the end of the game Bobby Kerr was also dismissed at the final whistle.

I've had to look at this tbh, we were 9 points ahead of Luton after this match (2 points for a win) I think it was in March we were promoted and a game or so we were declared champions. Doesn't or didnt get much better at Roker park - how could it.
I've had some horror show there too.

I would have loved to have been at last seasons 4-0 away, I still watch it now.
I don't mind Sunderland tbh, my old fellah pulled a face if I slagged off Sunderland, Newcastle, Darlo, Pools, he was a big fan of the North East players of his generation. My mother in law was from Sunderland and was a good un and I've worked with lots of Sunderland fans and Durham pit yak Sunderland supporters over the years. Some aren't all there with the disgraceful stuff they come out with, much like some of ours at times. This is my favourite game in football, and I love to beat them. It will be a tough un tonight though.

Was it Franck Queudrues debut that night? Have some vague memory of that being a night match against Sunderland.
 
2-2 Moore brace

I know you asked for fond memories but the Darren Williams one always dominates my Riverside memories
