Sugar Ray Robinson had a nightmare before he fought Jimmy Doyle, dreamed that he knocked him out and killed him. Called his trainer and his manager to get the fight cancelled, they didn't. It got so bad they had to get a priest to reassure him that it was just a dream and that everything would be fine.

Here's a picture of Sugar Ray Robinson standing over the body of Jimmy Doyle, who sadly died later that night. Weird.

1956, a very good year.

1956, a very good year.

Why? We got relegated. The photo was taken before Joe Mercer became our manager on 18th August 1955, two days later we lost 4-2 at Newcastle in the first match of the season.

Where's Jimmy Hagan?

 

[Silent Blade]

Where's Jimmy Hagan?

He was on part time contract because he had a job as a chartered surveyor so probably that was the reason why he wasnt available for this photo call.

I’d guess at Andy Kennedy, who was on loan from Birmingham

 

[Cheesebored]

Guessing but Paul Williams or Peter Hetherston?

Think that's a decent guess.

Yes it was, only 8500 there and Sunderland were relegated that season.

A year too early for those two.
