As always, when we share a Shoot!, we share the player profile This week: John Richards of Wolves Again: Footballers hate cleaning their car.... (From Shoot! - 24/07/1976) #shoot #Shootmagazine #Wolves #wwfc

The listed moves of Alan Foggon to Manchester Utd and Duncan McKenzie to Anderlecht would be short-lived affairs, and the optimism of #SAFC forward Roy Greenwood would be misplaced as things turned sour for both the club and player in Stokoe's final laboured months at Roker.

Sweet Agony. Wrexham v #SAFC (5th May 1979)

SUNDERLAND AFC Sunderland AFC #safc FA Youth Cup Winners 1969

An #SAFC Emotional Roller-Coaster (whether viewed on Saturday or Sunday afternoon). Rostron & Brown the men on scoresheet in brave performance backed by legions of travelling fans at the Racecourse Ground. Deserved far better than their ultimate cruel fate. [#AFistfulofDoldrums]

Everton's McNaught flew home [to paraphrase Chris Rea], with "The taste of Düsseldorf still on his lips" after the club accepted the bid from Villa. It was one of the less controversial incidents involving #football club tours that summer! [see #AFistfulofDoldrums]

#NorthEast Downers and Uppers. #SAFC #AFistfulofDoldrums #70s #football Never dull [well; not often anyway].

Steeped in that late-70s atmosphere. [And, that's a good thing].

"It's not in the way that you stayed 'til the end" #SAFC supporters. The late-season 78-79 #football scene played out to a background of quality music, inc. the next two in the #AFistfulofDoldrums Tracklist: 'Hold the Line' - Toto 'Pop Muzik' - M

"Hit it / Now you know what I say / Talk about Pop Robson / Everybody talk about Pop Robson". Summer '79, & the great man returns to Roker to reclaim that #SAFC No. 10 shirt. Although New York, Paris, & Munich were not on itinerary, London was (opening match at Stamford Bridge).

Vintage late-70s #football action etc. revisited. [All referenced in the book #AFistfulofDoldrums]. #Sunderland #SAFC

Recall this one; that significant price increase from 12p to 15p. But cannot get many better front-cover pictures than two of the highest-quality forwards in that era in action side-by-side. #70s #football

On her birthday, the 'ne plus ultra' actress Barbara Flynn pictured with some quality reading material. Number-one choice to perform the narration honours for the [fantasy] audio editions of my books.

Call out the police & a doctor! Rounding up the #AFistfulofDoldrums Tracklist in the Summer of 1979 (during the last smouldering embers of the 'great' #SAFC manager hunt [or fiasco]): 'Roxanne' -- The Police 'Bad Case of Lovin' You (Doctor Doctor)' -- Robert Palmer

As always, when we get a new Shoot! in, we share the player profile This week: Roger Davies of FC Bruges Clint, steak, hates Racing dogs...... (From Shoot! - 09/04/1977) #Shoot #shootmagazine #FCBruges

#OTD 1980: Action at Filbert St., where an early John Hawley goal gave #SAFC win at Leicester. Knighton's team would wait 6 months for next away win as they struggled to survive. From memory, that sunny evening's TV inc. 'The Dukes of Hazzard' & 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'.

Fine vintage. #70s #football

Ferguson putting the phone down after tetchily rejecting Newcastle Utd's bid for Frank McGarvey?? [details in #AFistfulofDoldrums].
