A chat with Glyn Hodges

enjoyed that thanks. That Sunderland match was mental. Vinnie had a cup of Hot Chocolate chucked over him and went to jump into the crowd. We were locked in for ages, with bricks been thrown over the wall.

There are players with a magical left foot, but who has lobbed Peter Schmeichel…..?

Davor Suker

Phillipe Albert...all left-footers!

Phillipe Albert...all left-footers!

Yes, that was the other one I was trying to remember! What a great match that was, Albert strolling up field to casually lob Schmeichel and make it 5-0.

Seems strange the TV cameras being on the John Street side. Obvs that was when we had no John Street Stand.

TV cameras for live games were at John Street during the 1994/95 and 1995/96 seasons

The ground looks great from that side, and even better today with the Westfield corner.

The SS camera angle looks really dated in my opinion. It's very steep so doesn't get much of the crowd. It also means we're looking at the JSS which is the ugliest side of the ground.
