in memoriam - 1965-2024
It was made by a Sunderland fan.
And yeah, the lack of recognition, even visual records, of our 80's sides is a disgrace. But a reflection on how football was treated in those days. But I know you know that!

I emailed sky and BT once to ask where our "Football's Greatest" documentary was on Neville Southall and "Football's Greatest Teams" series for the '80s team that cleaned up (they even had that poxy Villa side of '82).
Nothing.

Imagine Kenwright producing that. It'd be a drama documentary with Martin Shaw playing John Bailey and Ian McShane playing Pat Van Den Hauwe.

I dont think the footage would be an issue. It's just an example of how this club is the elephant in the living room of English football. We're there and massive, but no one mentions us.
I also blame the club in this, in that they have failed to get this club the profile it deserves from a historical perspective. They are pitiful at that....though I suspect it's a calculated failure: dont remind your customers what they used to have or else they might actually wake up from their stupor and realise how much they've been duped since the 80s by a succession of frauds in that boardroom and demand former standards.
Yeah, the guys who run Fulwell 73 are Sunderland fans. They did class of 92 and a few other sporting documentries.
Tommy Steele playing Trevor Steven and Barrymore as Degsy Mountfield.
He will get Brad Pitt to play his uncle Cyril.
Not one person in the world outside of our fanbase would be interested in watching a documentary about us winning 3 trophies in the 80s Dave.

Depends how it was framed.
Psycho Pat would be a Kardashian level success all on his own.
Better be a list watershed show if it’s about that side .

Most of our football since should have been post watershed too to be fair.
Slightly different reasons though
Perfect storm. There was a team of filmmakers who were Sunderland fans interested in making a documentary about Sunderland. And there was an incredibly inept and egotistical group running Sunderland who quite fancied having their glorious resurrection and rebirth into the Premier League documented for the ages and thus granted the filmmakers a lot of access.
Not a lot of organisations have that blend of naivety, egotism and ineptness. Even Bill knows when to keep the stage curtains shut.
Fortunately it all went tits up and was much more entertaining than the Citeh doc which showed professionals being professional and things going smoothly in what I imagine was a highly controlled production environment.
