About hi5ilo

Never accept sweets from strangers.

First Game

Sunderland 0-0 Bradford City, Division 1 03/10/1998

Don't remember a single thing about the game but it was my 5th birthday and my name was in the match programme so presumably I was there.

Best Game

Sheffield United 1-2 Sunderland, Championship Play-Off Final 2024/25

Somehow after a 122nd winner in the semi-final it was topped by a 95th minute winner in the final. The sort of moment you see grown men cry and decades of hurt erased in an instant.

Worst Game

Southampton 8-0 Sunderland, Premier League 18/10/2014

You don't often see your team concede 8 at the other end of the country but when you do, it stays with you.

Accrington Stanley A-A Sunderland, League One 08/12/2018

December, open end, match abandoned due to a rainstorm, no trains back, no refunds. You make the best out of this sort of situation.

It's quaint, full end behind the goal, everyone is friendly and Fulham tend to be middling at best so you might win there.

If you like standing on scaffolding in the open air with a few thousand others this is the place for you.
