Season 98/99, 2-2 draw at Old Trafford against Man Utd was up there for me. Back then, Man Utd (in my mind atleast), were the definition of elite and to go there and go 2-0 up, and then disappointingly concede a late late Beckham equaliser but to come away with something was a great start to that season.

Beckham’s first card after the Argentina Red Card and he was getting dog’s abuse from our end all game

I always remember an exciting opening day 3-2 win over Bristol Rovers in 1990 wearing our new Bukta kit. It was finally going to be our year . Think we lost 6 on the trot after that and ended the season with the great escape mark 1!

Sunderland 2015/16, not sticking about 8 past them that day still pisses me off
