1
00:00:31,823 --> 00:00:34,075
I moved here about two years ago.
2
00:00:34,826 --> 00:00:38,913
I just came to a... a decision
where I wanted to save some money,
3
00:00:38,913 --> 00:00:41,082
{\an8}so I got this for a cheaper rent.
4
00:00:41,082 --> 00:00:43,543
{\an8}Costs us less in fuel to run
5
00:00:43,543 --> 00:00:45,962
and it's easier to manage.
6
00:00:45,962 --> 00:00:48,631
Being a bloke on me own,
I'm not that good with a duster,
7
00:00:48,631 --> 00:00:50,508
{\an8}so here I am.
8
00:00:50,508 --> 00:00:53,636
{\an8}But the sad thing
was having to get rid of me memorabilia,
9
00:00:53,636 --> 00:00:56,056
which I built up over a lot of years.
10
00:00:56,056 --> 00:00:59,809
But I simply couldn't bring it with us,
so it had to go, you know.
11
00:00:59,809 --> 00:01:02,979
It was... It was a little bit traumatic, actually.
12
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:05,607
I had a seat from Roker Park,
13
00:01:06,858 --> 00:01:09,486
but there was just nowhere here for it.
14
00:01:10,904 --> 00:01:13,364
So that was--
It was a big thing to give up.
15
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,837
As daft as it sounds,
one of the reasons that I did downsize
16
00:01:27,837 --> 00:01:30,215
was to be able to get to more games.
17
00:01:30,215 --> 00:01:32,175
Because this is me passion,
18
00:01:33,343 --> 00:01:35,845
erm... and with costs sort of...
19
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:39,849
...for other things,
spiraling out of control,
20
00:01:40,934 --> 00:01:43,353
erm... you've got to find
the money from somewhere.
21
00:01:44,979 --> 00:01:46,648
We've got Wycombe in the final,
22
00:01:46,648 --> 00:01:49,734
so I'm looking forward to the trip
to London for the weekend.
23
00:01:51,486 --> 00:01:53,363
Go and get the car sorted out,
24
00:01:53,988 --> 00:01:55,115
pick Michelle up.
25
00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:57,951
Erm... Sorry, go and get her
a cup of tea first.
26
00:01:58,451 --> 00:01:59,285
Or two.
27
00:01:59,994 --> 00:02:02,789
I always get two cups,
thinking one for me, one for her.
28
00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:04,124
And I never end up getting any.
29
00:02:04,124 --> 00:02:05,917
She has them both 'cause,
30
00:02:05,917 --> 00:02:09,587
I think she would tell you herself,
she's not a... she's not a morning person.
31
00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:16,845
Hi, mate.
Can I just have two large teas, please?
32
00:02:16,845 --> 00:02:18,888
- [man] Yeah. Anything else?
- That's it, boss.
33
00:02:18,888 --> 00:02:20,557
- All right, well, thanks.
- Thanks now.
34
00:02:20,557 --> 00:02:22,350
- Do you want any sugars or anything?
- Cheers.
35
00:02:23,268 --> 00:02:27,522
Very, very rarely do we go
to games, uh, without each other.
36
00:02:28,022 --> 00:02:31,860
We're best friends. Uh, so,
first and foremost, we're good mates.
37
00:02:34,904 --> 00:02:36,990
Right. Is there anything else?
38
00:02:38,324 --> 00:02:39,909
Oh, what a dear.
39
00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:42,954
All right.
40
00:02:42,954 --> 00:02:44,539
Oh, we must be mad.
41
00:02:45,790 --> 00:02:47,709
- There's your usual.
- Oh.
42
00:02:47,709 --> 00:02:48,918
Two teas.
43
00:02:48,918 --> 00:02:51,296
None for me and two for you.
44
00:02:52,922 --> 00:02:54,841
{\an8}Our club's history is massive.
45
00:02:54,841 --> 00:02:56,968
{\an8}Now's the chance
for the Sunderland team
46
00:02:56,968 --> 00:02:59,679
{\an8}to show their cheering followers
the trophy. What a team.
47
00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:03,183
{\an8}Our glory days were
long, long, long past us.
48
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:07,312
{\an8}The last thing I remember
was winning the FA Cup in 1973.
49
00:03:07,312 --> 00:03:09,564
{\an8}And unfortunately, I wasn't at that match.
50
00:03:09,564 --> 00:03:11,649
You truly don't know
what the highs are like
51
00:03:11,649 --> 00:03:13,610
unless you've experienced the lows.
52
00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:17,030
As football clubs go,
I think we've had our share of lows.
53
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:18,656
There's no doubt about that.
54
00:03:18,656 --> 00:03:23,369
I was lucky to be at Wembley in 1973
for the FA Cup Final.
55
00:03:23,369 --> 00:03:26,831
Sunderland have done it!
Stokoe can't believe it!
56
00:03:27,415 --> 00:03:28,416
Oh, what a day!
57
00:03:28,416 --> 00:03:30,043
And from that point on,
58
00:03:30,543 --> 00:03:33,379
a life of misery was inflicted on us
59
00:03:33,379 --> 00:03:36,090
when it came to going to Wembley
to watch Sunderland.
60
00:03:39,677 --> 00:03:42,430
Good tackle.
Oh, and it's an own goal!
61
00:03:43,514 --> 00:03:47,727
Oh, an opportunity spurned!
62
00:03:50,021 --> 00:03:52,523
For the next seven or eight times,
63
00:03:52,523 --> 00:03:54,901
we managed to lose every game.
64
00:03:54,901 --> 00:03:57,987
{\an8}Thomas through
the middle again. Michael Thomas. Rush.
65
00:03:58,488 --> 00:03:59,405
2-0 Liverpool.
66
00:04:02,116 --> 00:04:04,786
{\an8}Michael Gray,
born in Sunderland.
67
00:04:07,455 --> 00:04:09,165
-
- Ilić has saved it!
68
00:04:09,165 --> 00:04:12,210
And Charlton are promoted!
69
00:04:13,294 --> 00:04:18,174
But this time, we're going
into this final a different team.
70
00:04:21,302 --> 00:04:22,845
I'm quite confident,
71
00:04:23,763 --> 00:04:26,099
and I probably shouldn't say that.
72
00:04:26,724 --> 00:04:28,643
Well, I'll blame you
if it goes wrong then.
73
00:04:28,643 --> 00:04:30,687

So, it's Sunderland
who will face Wycombe
91
00:06:04,238 --> 00:06:06,532
in the League One playoff final
at Wembley.
92
00:06:06,532 --> 00:06:08,785
Excitement's been building
all week
93
00:06:08,785 --> 00:06:12,455
ahead of their League One playoff final
against Wycombe Wanderers at Wembley...
94
00:06:12,455 --> 00:06:16,000
Here, look, this is the flag
we've got to take to Wembley.
95
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,837
Notice Lynne first, Eddie second.
96
00:06:22,507 --> 00:06:23,883
I think it's fair to say
97
00:06:23,883 --> 00:06:27,011
the people of Sunderland
are feeling incredibly optimistic.
98
00:06:27,011 --> 00:06:30,348
They've been telling us
that this is Sunderland's chance to shine.
99
00:06:30,348 --> 00:06:32,308
- Ha'way the lads.
- Ha'way the lads.
100
00:06:32,308 --> 00:06:33,893
- Just the one?
- Aye.
101
00:06:33,893 --> 00:06:35,019
Okay, my darling.
102
00:06:36,979 --> 00:06:38,940
Niall's been a few times
with us to Wembley,
103
00:06:38,940 --> 00:06:41,192
been to a few playoff finals.
104
00:06:41,192 --> 00:06:43,945
Obviously, you haven't seen us win yet.
105
00:06:46,656 --> 00:06:47,782
- Soon.
- Soon.
106
00:06:47,782 --> 00:06:48,699
This one.
107
00:06:48,699 --> 00:06:49,867
- Very soon.
- Yeah.
108
00:06:51,577 --> 00:06:55,081
Now, we know that this match is
incredibly important to all of the fans.
109
00:06:55,081 --> 00:06:57,458
And we've seen loads of them
getting behind the Black Cats.
110
00:06:57,458 --> 00:06:59,460
- Sunderland!
- How you feeling? Nervous?
111
00:06:59,460 --> 00:07:01,170
Really nervous. Sick.
112
00:07:02,213 --> 00:07:05,299
I've been nine times,
and I only saw them win once,
113
00:07:05,299 --> 00:07:07,552
so this time
it's gonna be our time. Definitely.
114
00:07:07,552 --> 00:07:09,637
This time, it's gotta happen.
115
00:07:09,637 --> 00:07:13,307
We can't afford another mishap
or another heartbreak.
116
00:07:13,307 --> 00:07:14,559
We've just gotta do it.
117
00:07:24,777 --> 00:07:25,945
Go on, boy.
118
00:07:25,945 --> 00:07:26,863
Honey on it?
119
00:07:26,863 --> 00:07:27,989
Fuck me.
120
00:07:36,497 --> 00:07:39,000
So this is the first time
I've actually put the kit out
121
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,001
at Wembley myself.
122
00:07:40,501 --> 00:07:43,546
I was kit man at Middlesbrough.
That's my team as a boy.
123
00:07:43,546 --> 00:07:47,425
But I've been here for ten years now,
and this is, like, my club now.
124
00:07:47,425 --> 00:07:50,219
{\an8}And if anyone asks me who I want to win,
Middlesbrough or Sunderland,
125
00:07:50,219 --> 00:07:51,554
{\an8}it's always gonna be Sunderland.
126
00:07:53,055 --> 00:07:55,558
But I didn't realize until I'd started...
127
00:07:55,558 --> 00:07:57,018
Hello. How are you?
128
00:07:57,018 --> 00:07:59,312
...how much it meant
to everyone at the club.
129
00:07:59,812 --> 00:08:01,814
- It's just like, they just live for it.
- Yeah, good.
130
00:08:01,814 --> 00:08:02,773
Leon.
131
00:08:04,358 --> 00:08:07,153
{\an8}We've been in League One
for, like, so long,
132
00:08:07,862 --> 00:08:12,366
and a lot of people lost their jobs
because of the situation the club was in.
133
00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:15,119
My boss got made redundant.
134
00:08:15,119 --> 00:08:18,456
People took pay cuts.
I myself took a pay cut to stay here.
135
00:08:20,625 --> 00:08:26,214
But I think since Alex has come in
and we've signed some great players,
136
00:08:26,214 --> 00:08:28,716
I feel like the combination
of the players that we've got
137
00:08:28,716 --> 00:08:30,593
and the manager and the staff,
138
00:08:31,093 --> 00:08:33,304
really feel like there's a massive belief
139
00:08:33,304 --> 00:08:36,390
{\an8}that this time, it's like,
it's... it's our chance to get it done.
140
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,897
Goochie... I'm really close to
because we've both been here for 10 years.
141
00:08:44,732 --> 00:08:46,442
His wife's family's from the area.
142
00:08:47,109 --> 00:08:48,819
This is the only club he's had.
143
00:08:48,819 --> 00:08:51,989
He's had some tough times,
but he loves this club.
144
00:08:51,989 --> 00:08:53,783
Like, he absolutely loves it.
145
00:08:53,783 --> 00:08:56,702
You see what he did?
146
00:08:56,702 --> 00:08:58,746
My dream
when I came here was to play
147
00:08:58,746 --> 00:09:02,458
in the Premier League for Sunderland,
and I done that quite young in my career.
148
00:09:04,043 --> 00:09:08,005
But then, less than two seasons later,
I'm playing in League One.
149
00:09:12,927 --> 00:09:15,846
So this is basically
all the players from the academy
150
00:09:15,846 --> 00:09:18,516
who end up making a senior debut.
151
00:09:19,016 --> 00:09:19,976
Um...
152
00:09:19,976 --> 00:09:22,687
And a few pictures
of... of the boys, obviously.
153
00:09:23,271 --> 00:09:26,148
A couple of legends right there,
Jordan Henderson, Jordan Pickford.
154
00:09:26,148 --> 00:09:27,525
And there's me.
155
00:09:28,025 --> 00:09:31,153
That was when I scored my first goal
for Sunderland. Carlisle away.
156
00:09:32,154 --> 00:09:33,072
Good time.
157
00:09:33,072 --> 00:09:34,907
Chance here
for Lynden Gooch!
158
00:09:34,907 --> 00:09:38,452
And Lynden Gooch takes center stage!
159
00:09:39,870 --> 00:09:41,122
I wasn't born here,
160
00:09:41,122 --> 00:09:44,667
but I've been affiliated with the club
since I was a ten-year-old boy.
161
00:09:45,251 --> 00:09:48,588
Sixteen years now
that I've been a part of this club.
162
00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:50,881
{\an8}And I'm very proud
of where I grew up in California.
163
00:09:52,216 --> 00:09:54,552
But yeah, I do see Sunderland as my home.
164
00:09:55,553 --> 00:09:57,513
I like to think I'm an adopted Mackem.
165
00:09:59,974 --> 00:10:01,601
We've got a great bond in the team.
166
00:10:02,101 --> 00:10:05,104
Going on to achieve something
would just make us even closer.
167
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,903
- Woah.
- Watch out, lads.
168
00:10:15,239 --> 00:10:18,200
- Shall we just drop it on here?
- It's a tee up. It's a tee up.
169
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,994
- Yeah.
- See who goes first.
170
00:10:21,162 --> 00:10:23,039
{\an8}They're gonna...
They're gonna hear me stripe this.
171
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:24,373
{\an8}Straight at that bunker.
172
00:10:24,373 --> 00:10:26,542
Straight at these trees to my left.
173
00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:28,336
Oh, Jesus.
174
00:10:29,378 --> 00:10:30,880
- Shot, Al.
- Yeah!
175
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,089
Striped.
176
00:10:33,883 --> 00:10:36,218
- I'll see you up there.
- Yeah!
177
00:10:36,218 --> 00:10:38,512
{\an8}- Green.
- Oh, there you go. Left.
178
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:41,349
- Stinks.
- Reset.
179
00:10:41,349 --> 00:10:43,184
Nah, stinks!
180
00:10:44,101 --> 00:10:46,354
This will go so far right now.
181
00:10:46,354 --> 00:10:47,730
Such haters.
182
00:10:48,814 --> 00:10:51,817
- Oh, it has gone right as well.
- Called it!
183
00:10:51,817 --> 00:10:54,779
He's been shit-hot
for the past two days, I tell you.
184
00:10:54,779 --> 00:10:57,239
Ever since I've come in,
it's always been a great group,
185
00:10:57,239 --> 00:11:00,409
and I think you've got to have
that good team bonding,
186
00:11:00,409 --> 00:11:03,371
team understanding off the pitch
in order to get success.
187
00:11:04,288 --> 00:11:07,541
Going into the second leg,
I felt like there was just more belief.
188
00:11:08,876 --> 00:11:11,295
You look back at that Sheffield Wednesday
second leg away
189
00:11:11,295 --> 00:11:12,755
from home when you scored, Pat.
190
00:11:12,755 --> 00:11:14,674
I didn't know what to do, mate.
191
00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:17,051
I swear you got poked in the eye.
Didn't you poke him?
192
00:11:17,051 --> 00:11:19,470
- I was running all over the gaff.
- Nah, I was shushing.
193
00:11:19,470 --> 00:11:20,930
- Shushing?
- I was shushing.
194
00:11:20,930 --> 00:11:22,848
I got started on after the game by a fan.
195
00:11:22,848 --> 00:11:25,059
- Right.
- I was just like...
196
00:11:25,059 --> 00:11:27,853
If we'd gone on to lose that game,
I don't think it'd be better.
197
00:11:27,853 --> 00:11:29,730
Nah, we couldn't have lost that game.
198
00:11:29,730 --> 00:11:32,024
You've lost in the playoffs
and I've lost in the playoffs.
199
00:11:32,024 --> 00:11:34,276
- It's the worst feeling in the world.
- It's horrible.
200
00:11:34,276 --> 00:11:36,654
You've been that close
and then it just gets pulled away.
201
00:11:36,654 --> 00:11:40,116
You've got all summer just thinking about
where you could have been.
202
00:11:40,116 --> 00:11:41,033
Yeah.
203
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:43,911
Wycombe are gonna be a good team, like.
204
00:11:43,911 --> 00:11:45,371
I don't like this story of, like,
205
00:11:45,371 --> 00:11:49,083
"Oh, we're the underdogs, the small club.
Sunderland are a massive club."
206
00:11:49,083 --> 00:11:51,752
"They've got the fans, players,
they've been in the Premier League."
207
00:11:51,752 --> 00:11:52,920
Like, that was years ago.
208
00:11:53,838 --> 00:11:56,298
So stop going on about
you're the underdogs.
209
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:59,552
Wycombe have done a lot more
than Sunderland in the last five years.
210
00:12:02,888 --> 00:12:05,141
You now know
it's going to be Wycombe Wanderers,
211
00:12:05,141 --> 00:12:07,143
who've got a great identity.
212
00:12:07,143 --> 00:12:10,146
What are your thoughts on what kind
of threats they pose in this final?
213
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:12,898
I think they're really difficult.
214
00:12:12,898 --> 00:12:15,651
{\an8}You don't necessarily
need to play well to be dangerous.
215
00:12:21,407 --> 00:12:23,784
But they're a team
that can lull you into a false sense
216
00:12:23,784 --> 00:12:26,912
of thinking you're doing well,
and then they can damage you.
217
00:12:28,414 --> 00:12:30,458
Vokes!
218
00:12:34,211 --> 00:12:36,422
They are very direct in how they play.
219
00:12:36,422 --> 00:12:37,757
That's the challenge.
220
00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:39,300
Swirling corner.
221
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:42,094
Who's gonna get a header?
The answer is Sam Vokes.
222
00:12:42,678 --> 00:12:45,765
Set pieces,
they've decided World Cup Finals,
223
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:47,975
so they're okay
to decide a League One playoff.
224
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,312
This team's fighting for its life,
absolutely fighting for its life.
225
00:12:51,312 --> 00:12:52,521
And I said to my boys,
226
00:12:52,521 --> 00:12:56,025
{\an8}"You gotta win these little fights now.
It's not all about this fancy football."
227
00:12:57,735 --> 00:13:00,571
A lot of wrestling
and grappling going on.
228
00:13:05,868 --> 00:13:08,704
Wycombe are horrible
so-and-so's
229
00:13:08,704 --> 00:13:10,414
to encounter in a one-off match.
230
00:13:15,628 --> 00:13:17,505
Gareth Ainsworth has come out
and said
231
00:13:17,505 --> 00:13:20,382
that Sunderland's the biggest club
outside the Premier League.
232
00:13:20,382 --> 00:13:23,803
Is that, do you think, maybe trying
to put a bit of pressure on you?
233
00:13:23,803 --> 00:13:26,514
The good thing for Wycombe is
they don't have to play well
234
00:13:26,514 --> 00:13:29,850
to win the game. It's about
Wycombe trying to unsettle Sunderland.
235
00:13:35,314 --> 00:13:38,609
And the Chairboys
are heading back to Wembley!
236
00:13:38,609 --> 00:13:41,153
We've crushed these playoffs.
Nobody gave us a chance.
237
00:13:41,153 --> 00:13:43,447
{\an8}These boys can achieve anything,
I tell you that.
238
00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:49,495
We know what's coming our way.
239
00:13:49,995 --> 00:13:53,707
We've got to match that endeavor,
that effort, that aggression.
240
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,879
But equally, talent.
241
00:13:59,547 --> 00:14:00,923
You know, talent is key.
242
00:14:01,423 --> 00:14:03,717
Because you can be
as aggressive as you like,
243
00:14:03,717 --> 00:14:07,137
but you need players
that are gonna be able to create things
244
00:14:07,137 --> 00:14:09,014
and... and make a difference.
245
00:14:18,774 --> 00:14:21,777
When I was young,
I always kind of pictured myself
246
00:14:21,777 --> 00:14:23,362
playing in these big stadiums.
247
00:14:24,530 --> 00:14:27,366
You always kicked the ball
in the field or in the park
248
00:14:27,366 --> 00:14:30,744
and envisaged playing
in front of massive crowds.
249
00:14:32,079 --> 00:14:34,164
I played youth football in Scotland.
250
00:14:34,873 --> 00:14:37,543
Kind of found myself falling out the game,
251
00:14:38,043 --> 00:14:39,128
not enjoying it.
252
00:14:39,837 --> 00:14:41,088
And then I thought,
253
00:14:41,088 --> 00:14:43,716
"Right, I need to think about
what I'm going to do with my life."
254
00:14:45,426 --> 00:14:47,011
"Am I even gonna keep playing?"
255
00:14:47,887 --> 00:14:48,971
And what I done was I left,
256
00:14:48,971 --> 00:14:51,849
{\an8}and I went and played
for a team down-- Just local.
257
00:14:54,184 --> 00:14:56,604
But I kind of found
that like I enjoyed it more.
258
00:14:57,896 --> 00:14:59,523
My enjoyment came back.
259
00:14:59,523 --> 00:15:01,233
There's a great son there.
260
00:15:02,026 --> 00:15:03,861
...looking to settle
their nerves.
261
00:15:03,861 --> 00:15:05,571
I went to Kilwinning Rangers.
262
00:15:06,488 --> 00:15:08,198
The Buffs to kick us off
in the first half.
263
00:15:08,198 --> 00:15:09,491
Scored a lot of goals.
264
00:15:09,491 --> 00:15:12,870
And then towards the end of that season
was when, obviously, I had interest.
265
00:15:13,495 --> 00:15:16,707
{\an8}Albion Rovers wanted to pay £1000 for me...
266
00:15:18,292 --> 00:15:21,295
{\an8}...and Kilwinning Rangers wanted £1500.
267
00:15:21,295 --> 00:15:23,547
Is this gonna be
the game's turning point?
268
00:15:23,547 --> 00:15:26,342
Chances like that,
they don't come about often.
269
00:15:27,009 --> 00:15:30,179
I was speaking to the Albion Rovers
manager, Darren Young, at the time.
270
00:15:30,179 --> 00:15:32,556
And he's like, "Oh, we've only got 1000.
We can't do more."
271
00:15:32,556 --> 00:15:34,850
And it was my dad who said,
"Well, I'll pay."
272
00:15:35,351 --> 00:15:39,104
"I'll give you the extra 500
to make the fee."
273
00:15:39,104 --> 00:15:40,981
"To allow my boy to go,
'cause he wants to go,
274
00:15:40,981 --> 00:15:44,026
he wants obviously
a new challenge, level up."
275
00:15:45,027 --> 00:15:46,987
{\an8}So when I look back, it's probably--
276
00:15:46,987 --> 00:15:50,074
As I say to him all the time, it's
probably the best £500 he's ever spent.
277
00:15:50,074 --> 00:15:52,618
Yes!
278
00:15:55,704 --> 00:15:58,791
When Sunderland came calling,
I was like, "Wow. Massive club."
279
00:15:58,791 --> 00:16:00,417
"You know, that's where I want to go."
280
00:16:00,417 --> 00:16:03,754
{\an8}Sunderland have completed
the signing of a new player.
281
00:16:03,754 --> 00:16:06,715
{\an8}We've got a striker. It's Ross Stewart.
282
00:16:06,715 --> 00:16:09,093
Not many people know
who he is or where he's come from.
283
00:16:09,093 --> 00:16:11,679
I've never claimed to know
much about this lad.
284
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:13,472
He seems half-decent.
285
00:16:13,472 --> 00:16:15,641
If you look
at the goal tally this season,
286
00:16:15,641 --> 00:16:17,226
2 in 19 in the Scottish Premier League,
287
00:16:17,226 --> 00:16:19,228
you'd say, "Well, yeah,
why are we signing him?"
288
00:16:19,228 --> 00:16:22,189
I've just got a--
Don't know, it's just a bad, bad feeling.
289
00:16:24,608 --> 00:16:29,029
{\an8}Ross' name had come up on... on our list,
but obviously, we were looking for a 9,
290
00:16:29,029 --> 00:16:32,157
{\an8}and he predominantly played as an 11,
as a wide attacker.
291
00:16:34,284 --> 00:16:36,453
Obviously, his goal-scoring record
wasn't something
292
00:16:36,453 --> 00:16:38,622
that was going to naturally
attract you to him,
293
00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:41,375
but he certainly had
the physical attributes
294
00:16:41,375 --> 00:16:42,918
that we felt we could coach up.
295
00:16:43,669 --> 00:16:46,088
And now we've got, arguably, you know,
296
00:16:46,088 --> 00:16:48,882
the best striker League One's seen
for a number of years.
297
00:16:52,678 --> 00:16:53,762
Ross Stewart.
298
00:16:53,762 --> 00:16:55,681
It's what he's been doing all season.
299
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,977
I wanted to come and test myself
in the English leagues.
300
00:17:01,103 --> 00:17:03,230
Guess who. Ross Stewart...
301
00:17:04,732 --> 00:17:07,192
for the 20th time this season.
302
00:17:07,693 --> 00:17:09,862
It's always been
for me about believing,
303
00:17:09,862 --> 00:17:11,864
yeah, I can play at this level...
304
00:17:16,285 --> 00:17:18,746
Yeah!
305
00:17:19,747 --> 00:17:21,290
...to see how high I can get.
306
00:17:24,543 --> 00:17:27,629
♪ Oh, baby
Do you know what that's worth? ♪
307
00:17:27,629 --> 00:17:31,216
♪ Ross Stewart is the best on earth! ♪
308
00:17:31,216 --> 00:17:34,011
♪ The Loch Ness Drogba
Is just what we need... ♪
309
00:17:34,011 --> 00:17:36,764
When they start singing a song
and you know it's about you...
310
00:17:37,306 --> 00:17:41,060
It's funny because Loch Ness
is obviously up near Inverness,
311
00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:42,644
but not really anything to do me,
312
00:17:42,644 --> 00:17:46,065
but obviously, for whatever reason,
the fans took a liking to it.
313
00:17:47,608 --> 00:17:50,903
Ross is such a good lad.
He's a selfless player.
314
00:17:51,653 --> 00:17:55,115
He surprised me in terms
of how complete he was as a striker.
315
00:17:55,699 --> 00:17:57,785
You know he's capable of scoring a goal.
316
00:17:57,785 --> 00:18:00,954
But can you do it in the biggest,
most important game?
317
00:18:09,838 --> 00:18:13,509
They're a good bunch,
so I try and do me best for them.
318
00:18:14,343 --> 00:18:15,719
Well, we all do, really.
319
00:18:17,930 --> 00:18:21,350
Everyone together at this club
doing a lot of hard work behind the scenes
320
00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:22,893
makes a big difference.
321
00:18:23,393 --> 00:18:25,521
I'm a massive believer
in like these 1 percents.
322
00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:30,234
Them little parts that everyone plays,
they shouldn't go unnoticed.
323
00:18:31,318 --> 00:18:33,570
People put their lives
into this club.
324
00:18:34,321 --> 00:18:36,490
So many different stories.
You know, even--
325
00:18:36,490 --> 00:18:38,575
We have... We have Louise, erm,
326
00:18:39,159 --> 00:18:40,160
er, bless her soul,
327
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,788
you know, she was a huge part of the club.
328
00:18:44,289 --> 00:18:48,961
And, you know,
we lost her, erm, during the year.
329
00:18:48,961 --> 00:18:52,214
And it's not-- Her energy
around the place was infectious.
330
00:18:52,214 --> 00:18:53,215
Erm...
331
00:18:53,215 --> 00:18:55,634
People say I've got energy, she was just...
332
00:18:55,634 --> 00:18:58,971
She was the most loveliest energy
you could ever come across.
333
00:19:04,476 --> 00:19:07,646
Our winner
is Louise Wanless.
334
00:19:10,566 --> 00:19:15,612
{\an8}Louise is the longest-serving
press officer in Northeast football.
335
00:19:17,072 --> 00:19:21,285
Well, anyone who knows me
knows I'm not often lost for words, erm...
336
00:19:22,035 --> 00:19:23,203
but I am a little bit.
337
00:19:23,203 --> 00:19:26,832
I'm absolutely overwhelmed,
to be quite honest.
338
00:19:35,674 --> 00:19:37,134
She was just so bubbly.
339
00:19:38,594 --> 00:19:40,429
Really warming.
340
00:19:40,429 --> 00:19:44,141
And a massive, massive part
and massive character at the club.
341
00:19:47,144 --> 00:19:50,105
It's two minutes. They've been
filming you in training this morning,
342
00:19:50,105 --> 00:19:51,481
so they've got some nice shots.
343
00:19:51,481 --> 00:19:53,817
I think we're getting followed.
344
00:19:59,990 --> 00:20:02,201
The game just
after Lou had passed,
345
00:20:02,993 --> 00:20:05,245
I think I might have mentioned it
to one of the girls,
346
00:20:05,245 --> 00:20:08,790
"Why don't we just do the Wanless name
on the back of the shirt
347
00:20:08,790 --> 00:20:10,918
and we'll hang it in the dressing room
with the lads?"
348
00:20:13,378 --> 00:20:15,130
{\an8}I just wanted her to be remembered.
349
00:20:18,592 --> 00:20:19,885
We had it for that one game.
350
00:20:19,885 --> 00:20:23,222
I was like, "Tell you what we'll do,
we'll take Lou to Wembley with us."
351
00:20:24,598 --> 00:20:26,225
"We know she'll be there, watching us,
352
00:20:26,225 --> 00:20:28,518
so let's take the shirt with us
and we'll hang it up."
353
00:20:32,147 --> 00:20:35,025
And I found myself just saying,
"Lou, I know you're here."
354
00:20:35,525 --> 00:20:37,778
"Just make sure we get over the line."
355
00:20:45,953 --> 00:20:51,458
♪ Luke O'Nien, Luke O'Nien
Luke O'Nien ♪
356
00:20:53,085 --> 00:20:56,880
There should be more than
46,000 Sunderland fans at Wembley today.
357
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,259
It's just one more step to go,
and it's gonna be tough.
358
00:21:00,259 --> 00:21:03,011
They're gonna be physical,
they're gonna throw absolutely everything...
359
00:21:03,011 --> 00:21:05,055
{\an8}A club of this size
should not be in League One.
360
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,600
Another season
in League One is unthinkable.
361
00:21:10,435 --> 00:21:12,604
Four seasons in League One.
362
00:21:12,604 --> 00:21:15,983
It's led to cost cutting, job losses.
363
00:21:17,025 --> 00:21:20,779
And the longer that goes on,
the harder it is to turn that back.
364
00:21:30,789 --> 00:21:33,250
Our aim is to get promoted,
and if we don't do that,
365
00:21:33,250 --> 00:21:35,168
we're going to fail, basically.
366
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:40,299
Sunderland,
they make one change to the team
367
00:21:40,299 --> 00:21:41,550
which started the semifinals.
368
00:21:41,550 --> 00:21:44,136
Elliot Embleton coming in for Jack Clarke.
369
00:21:47,514 --> 00:21:49,975
Yeah, I'm just devastated
that I weren't starting.
370
00:21:50,726 --> 00:21:54,104
But you've gotta
switch mindsets really quick
371
00:21:54,104 --> 00:21:58,025
into, like, how can I help the team
in the best possible way?
372
00:22:02,863 --> 00:22:04,865
Today, there might have to be
some changes
373
00:22:04,865 --> 00:22:07,534
because of the physicality
that Wycombe bring.
374
00:22:09,411 --> 00:22:12,497
They are gonna get the ball wide,
and they're gonna get it in the box.
375
00:22:12,497 --> 00:22:13,749
That's what they do.
376
00:22:16,543 --> 00:22:19,129
One team change. Embleton in,
Clarke on the bench.
377
00:22:19,129 --> 00:22:20,422
What was your thinking?
378
00:22:20,422 --> 00:22:22,758
Just the way the game's gonna be
at the start of the match.
379
00:22:22,758 --> 00:22:26,011
You know, I think Jack's biggest impact's
been sort of later in games.
380
00:22:26,511 --> 00:22:28,055
I'm happy with the team.
381
00:22:28,055 --> 00:22:31,683
Look, Clarke, I think,
has been the unlucky one,
382
00:22:31,683 --> 00:22:34,603
but Embleton, for me,
he doesn't mess about.
383
00:22:34,603 --> 00:22:36,355
He's a bit more direct.

Well, here we go.
Listen to this Wembley roar.
391
00:23:07,803 --> 00:23:12,349
Both teams walk into
the greatest theater of all.
392
00:23:12,349 --> 00:23:14,434
It's a walk into the unknown.
393
00:23:15,268 --> 00:23:18,397
On the pitch before the game,
you stop and think, "Wow."
394
00:23:18,397 --> 00:23:21,483
Everything about it in the buildup's
just slightly different,
395
00:23:21,483 --> 00:23:23,235
but on a higher scale.
396
00:23:24,820 --> 00:23:27,155
It makes you realize,
you know, where you're at
397
00:23:27,155 --> 00:23:30,200
and why these games
are bigger than others.
398
00:23:44,089 --> 00:23:46,716
So Sunderland face
the ghosts of playoffs past,
399
00:23:46,716 --> 00:23:50,095
looking to exorcise
the demons of years gone by.
400
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,224
For Wycombe,
the playoffs don't hold any fears.
401
00:23:58,937 --> 00:24:01,773
First and foremost, you have
to win the battle against them.
402
00:24:03,150 --> 00:24:05,235
If you don't, then they'll suffocate you...
403
00:24:06,570 --> 00:24:08,196
and they'll just take over the game.
404
00:24:10,866 --> 00:24:12,075
You can't let that happen.
405
00:24:12,075 --> 00:24:14,453
Inside here,
a breakthrough
406
00:24:14,453 --> 00:24:15,829
at the edge of the penalty area.
407
00:24:15,829 --> 00:24:18,123
They look for a free kick.
Sunderland win it.
408
00:24:20,125 --> 00:24:21,293
Come on, Alex.
409
00:24:29,759 --> 00:24:31,761
Curls it in! Oh!
410
00:24:37,601 --> 00:24:39,102
Roberts into the penalty area.
411
00:24:40,437 --> 00:24:43,273
Plays it off to Pritchard.
Pritchard tries to curl it in.
412
00:24:43,273 --> 00:24:45,150
- [Chris Brown] Get it in!
- And he can't!
413
00:24:47,694 --> 00:24:50,739
What a chance. On the sly.
That's a big chance, Johnny.
414
00:24:50,739 --> 00:24:52,949
Well,
what a great opportunity.
415
00:24:54,367 --> 00:24:56,036
Ross Stewart knows it as well.
416
00:25:00,999 --> 00:25:02,709
One thing that Wycombe have got
417
00:25:03,835 --> 00:25:05,795
is the fact that they're always dangerous.
418
00:25:07,422 --> 00:25:09,674
One set piece,
one direct ball into the box.
419
00:25:10,634 --> 00:25:13,553
Long, and Batth and
Bailey Wright getting in each other's way.
420
00:25:13,553 --> 00:25:16,431
And this could be trouble here
as Vokes tries to get to it.
421
00:25:17,265 --> 00:25:18,975
Sunderland shaky at the back.
422
00:25:19,559 --> 00:25:20,644
But equally,
423
00:25:21,311 --> 00:25:23,772
we've got players that are capable
of moments of magic.
424
00:25:24,564 --> 00:25:25,982
Kick from Stockdale.
425
00:25:27,484 --> 00:25:29,653
Headed on through the middle.
426
00:25:29,653 --> 00:25:31,446
Cleared, though, up to O'Nien.
427
00:25:33,990 --> 00:25:36,201

444
00:26:48,523 --> 00:26:50,859
...only to see it slip away
in the second half.
445
00:26:50,859 --> 00:26:52,068
Touré!
446
00:26:52,068 --> 00:26:53,153
Oh!
447
00:26:53,153 --> 00:26:55,780
{\an8}It's Manchester City's trophy.
448
00:26:56,489 --> 00:26:58,617
{\an8}And it's loose across to the far post!
449
00:26:58,617 --> 00:27:00,160
{\an8}Portsmouth have their goal!
450
00:27:01,703 --> 00:27:03,955
Absolutely stunned!
451
00:27:04,914 --> 00:27:06,958
{\an8}But Wembley's a place for winners!
452
00:27:08,793 --> 00:27:11,421
So cruel for Sunderland again!
453
00:27:13,673 --> 00:27:17,135
Gareth Ainsworth
will be saying to them players,
454
00:27:18,178 --> 00:27:20,096
"One-nil. You're still in the game."
455
00:27:21,639 --> 00:27:23,058
Get that second goal.
456
00:27:28,396 --> 00:27:31,066
Sunderland getting us underway.
457
00:27:35,862 --> 00:27:37,072
It's a sloppy start.
458
00:27:45,163 --> 00:27:47,874
- That's silly, man.
- [commentator 2] Tackle by Cirkin.
459
00:27:48,375 --> 00:27:51,211
Alex Neil will be worried.
His side haven't got going at all.
460
00:27:53,463 --> 00:27:56,049
And a lunge by Gooch and away goes Hanlan.
461
00:27:57,592 --> 00:28:00,512
Now gets past Bailey Wright
into the penalty area.
462
00:28:01,346 --> 00:28:03,056
That is a warning.
463
00:28:05,058 --> 00:28:07,977
All of a sudden,
it's got very nervous, hasn't it?
464
00:28:11,398 --> 00:28:14,275
There is more of a spring
in the step of Wycombe Wanderers
465
00:28:14,275 --> 00:28:15,944
in the second half.
466
00:28:21,408 --> 00:28:23,118
Oh, he's got through, though.
467
00:28:26,162 --> 00:28:29,582
Oh, what a block by Patterson. Whoo!
468
00:28:29,582 --> 00:28:32,085
Well, we haven't started
the second half, Nick.
469
00:28:32,669 --> 00:28:35,422
One moment can turn the game
on its head.
470
00:28:37,924 --> 00:28:39,926
We're in a proper game here now.
471
00:28:41,886 --> 00:28:45,098
Clarke is being readied
by Sunderland.
472
00:28:45,890 --> 00:28:48,560
Look, there's people been
here six times
473
00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:51,354
without seeing Sunderland get a win.
474
00:28:52,021 --> 00:28:53,940
So I can understand
why they're not confident.
475
00:28:53,940 --> 00:28:56,943
Clarke on, then.
476
00:29:00,363 --> 00:29:03,283
When you have went through
difficult times,
477
00:29:04,826 --> 00:29:08,997
that's when you find out
what your team's actually made of.
478
00:29:10,081 --> 00:29:14,544
Do they have the bravery
to go and find that next goal?
479
00:29:14,544 --> 00:29:16,087
Picked up by Roberts.
480
00:29:16,087 --> 00:29:18,214
He's got it through here and gets it back.
He's wiped.
481
00:29:18,214 --> 00:29:21,092
Referee.
482
00:29:23,887 --> 00:29:24,929
Finds Clarke.
483
00:29:24,929 --> 00:29:26,848
Clarke, his head down, going on.
484
00:29:26,848 --> 00:29:29,309
He's still going.
Clarke still going. Still going, Clarke!
485
00:29:29,893 --> 00:29:31,269
Block, David Stockdale!
486
00:29:41,988 --> 00:29:44,866
Clarke.
Ross Stewart is up there with him.
487
00:29:44,866 --> 00:29:46,117
Clarke towards Stewart.
488
00:29:53,416 --> 00:29:56,669
The best players,
they can take pressure.
489
00:29:58,713 --> 00:30:01,257
They'll always react
and respond and come back.
490
00:30:03,384 --> 00:30:04,761
Good ball in.
491
00:30:04,761 --> 00:30:07,138
Oh, it's just bounced
off the post.
492
00:30:07,639 --> 00:30:09,766
Inches away, Ross Stewart.
493
00:30:12,352 --> 00:30:15,188

you do get butterflies.

00:30:51,891 --> 00:30:53,726
He was always kind of demanding
503
00:30:53,726 --> 00:30:56,563
in the sense that you've got to do more,
you've got to do more.
504
00:30:57,522 --> 00:30:59,482
No matter how well you're doing,
505
00:30:59,482 --> 00:31:02,068
you know,
you can always try and do better.
506
00:31:04,112 --> 00:31:07,031
Sunderland just starting
to get their foot back on the ball,
507
00:31:07,031 --> 00:31:08,783
dictate the flow of the game.
508
00:31:14,372 --> 00:31:17,625
Clarke from the halfway
line, trying to weave a way through here.
509
00:31:17,625 --> 00:31:20,420
And now, looking for Ross Stewart,
down the right.
510
00:31:20,420 --> 00:31:22,297
One player on his shoulder.
511
00:31:22,297 --> 00:31:24,132

513

And he's got Pritchard just behind him.
518
00:31:47,322 --> 00:31:49,073
Roberts inside to Pritchard.
519
00:31:52,535 --> 00:31:53,369
Pritchard.
520
00:31:55,413 --> 00:31:58,958
Ross Stewart,
the edge of the penalty area.
521
00:32:04,589 --> 00:32:05,632
Yeah!
522
00:32:06,299 --> 00:32:07,592

526

Elation, relief...
534
00:34:02,248 --> 00:34:03,499
To have the family there,
535
00:34:04,417 --> 00:34:08,713
and my mum and dad
see their boy scoring at Wembley...
536
00:34:11,049 --> 00:34:12,675
I know how proud they were.
537
00:34:20,349 --> 00:34:23,770
We lost three years ago,
and it was the worst feeling ever.
538
00:34:25,855 --> 00:34:27,398
I was crying on the pitch.
539
00:34:29,108 --> 00:34:31,235
This time, it's a bit different, you know.
540
00:34:31,235 --> 00:34:33,029
I'm so happy, I'm overwhelmed...
541
00:34:34,614 --> 00:34:37,283
and crying for a different reason.
542
00:34:39,702 --> 00:34:41,829
This is my club.
It means everything to me.
543
00:34:42,747 --> 00:34:45,750

Come on. Here we go.
555
00:36:03,369 --> 00:36:06,038
The first game I ever went to was in 1964.
556
00:36:06,622 --> 00:36:08,416
I've seen the ups, I've seen the downs,
557
00:36:08,416 --> 00:36:11,252
I've seen the great times,
I've seen the shite.
558
00:36:12,086 --> 00:36:13,880
That bunch of lads made it.
559
00:36:14,463 --> 00:36:15,965
You've gotta be happy, man.
560
00:36:16,591 --> 00:36:18,509
- He had tears in his eyes.
- I did.
561
00:36:18,509 --> 00:36:21,053
They were hanging people upside down
over the railings.
562
00:36:22,054 --> 00:36:25,474
This is it.
It's our year, our time.
563
00:36:27,476 --> 00:36:28,477
It was...
564
00:36:29,937 --> 00:36:31,355
I'm getting emotional now.
565
00:36:32,481 --> 00:36:36,360
To see the lads do us proud...
566
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,155
And I've seen my lads win at Wembley.
567
00:36:39,947 --> 00:36:41,949
And it... it's...
568
00:36:41,949 --> 00:36:43,826
I can't tell you the emotions.
569
00:36:43,826 --> 00:36:47,205
I've been to all the previous finals
where we've lost,
570
00:36:47,955 --> 00:36:51,584
and just to see the... the joy
on everyone's faces,
571
00:36:52,585 --> 00:36:54,879
it was quite a magical thing, actually.
572
00:36:54,879 --> 00:36:59,008
Just this time for it all to go right
was truly wonderful.
573
00:36:59,008 --> 00:37:03,012
Perfect for me to be able to see
me bestie, me best friend,
574
00:37:03,012 --> 00:37:06,015
experience that at Wembley. Brilliant.
575
00:37:07,099 --> 00:37:10,436
I'm getting a bit choked up now,
just thinking about it.
576
00:38:52,246 --> 00:38:56,959
I've sat alongside many people
in their final moments.
577
00:39:03,007 --> 00:39:06,427
We're here to give them hope
and strength and solace,
578
00:39:07,762 --> 00:39:11,057
to support,
to remind them of their dignity.
579
00:39:14,518 --> 00:39:18,481
To remind them that they belong
to something bigger than themselves.
580
00:39:26,447 --> 00:39:30,951
To remind them that they have
the capacity to love and be loved.
581
00:39:44,382 --> 00:39:48,052
If you're with somebody
surrounded by people that love them,
582
00:39:48,636 --> 00:39:50,262
and even in their final moments,
583
00:39:50,262 --> 00:39:52,681
they're talking about
Sunderland football club,
584
00:39:53,182 --> 00:39:54,558
about praying for the team
585
00:39:54,558 --> 00:39:57,269
and cheering the team on
from the other side...
586
00:40:00,481 --> 00:40:03,984
this is so important in people's lives,
587
00:40:03,984 --> 00:40:07,196
and it's gonna be
important to them in death as well.
588
00:40:21,419 --> 00:40:23,254
Love is eternal.
589
00:40:25,423 --> 00:40:27,091
Love doesn't end with death.
590
00:40:37,518 --> 00:40:39,770
And loving Sunderland football club
591
00:40:40,271 --> 00:40:43,274
is a love that stays with you
for all eternity.
