chants of “Jimmy Hill’s a wanker!” More than forty years later in 2020 I saw us play Coventry after Jimmy Hill had died and our fans were chanting (to the tune of KC and the Sunshine Band’s smash ‘Gotta Give It Up’), “Jimmy’s in a box, in a box, Jimmy’s in a box.” Back to 1977 - we finished 20th and were relegated as the third bottom side, with Stoke and Spurs below us.
It was a long drive ride back to Sunderland. Ironically it was Ascension Day.
