I was in Zambia at the time and we were listening on the radio on short wave. Our boss at the time Buster Matthews, a Northern Rhodesian who was married to a Sunderland girl, promised us a day off work if they won- we never did get the day off.  

Large chimneys? opposite the Wheatsheaf pub.

Interesting fascade on the buildings opposite the entrance to Roker Park.

Bandstand in Roker Park.

Trawler in the Marina with a Berwick registration- Golden Lily.

3.6 miles circular walk passed the old Roker Park Stadium were I used to stand as a teenager in the Roker end- its now a housing estate.
