Sunderland Match of My Life: Twelve Stars Relive Their Greatest Games Book

Sunderland Match of My Life sees a dozen all-time greats re-live the game that stands out for them in their Sunderland careers. Jim Montgomery chooses the 1973 FA Cup final where he made the greatest save ever seen at Wembley while Niall Quinn also selects a great game from beneath the old twin towers, the sensational 1998 play-off final where Sunderland scored 10 times and still somehow lost. Player of the Century Charlie Hurley's choice is a promotion winning game from 1964, record outfield appearance maker Len Ashurst goes for a cup quarter final that went to two replays with Manchester United in the same season while Stan Anderson picks a game where he scored twice to knock Arsenal out of the cup. Gary Rowell and Marco Gabbiadini select famous derby wins in which they scored at Newcastle while Tony Norman and Gary Bennett join Niall Quinn in re-visiting play-off games that ended in tears rather than joy. A famous Premier League win over Chelsea is Kevin Ball's selection while as the only man alive to score five goals in a game, Nick Sharkey's choice was an easy one. One of only three other players to score five in a match is SAFC's all-time record goalscorer Bobby Gurney. He passed away in 1994 Match of My Life reveals a previously unpublished 1992 interview with the England international who scored Sunderland's first ever goal at Wembley as the cup was won in 1937, a year after Gurney had netted 31 times as Sunderland won their sixth league title. Gurney's choice is a 10 goal thriller at Everton where he reckons he scored the most impossible of the 'impossible' goals he was famed for.Read More
