[intriguing music continues]
4
00:00:31,823 --> 00:00:34,075
[man] I moved here about two years ago.
5
00:00:34,826 --> 00:00:38,913
I just came to a... a decision
where I wanted to save some money,
6
00:00:38,913 --> 00:00:41,082
{\an8}so I got this for a cheaper rent.
7
00:00:41,082 --> 00:00:43,543
{\an8}Costs us less in fuel to run
8
00:00:43,543 --> 00:00:45,962
and it's easier to manage.
9
00:00:45,962 --> 00:00:48,631
Being a bloke on me own,
I'm not that good with a duster,
10
00:00:48,631 --> 00:00:50,508
{\an8}[laughing] so here I am.
11
00:00:50,508 --> 00:00:53,636
{\an8}But the sad thing
was having to get rid of me memorabilia,
12
00:00:53,636 --> 00:00:56,056
which I built up over a lot of years.
13
00:00:56,056 --> 00:00:59,809
But I simply couldn't bring it with us,
so it had to go, you know.
14
00:00:59,809 --> 00:01:02,979
It was... It was a little bit traumatic,
actually. [laughs nervously]
15
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:05,607
I had a seat from Roker Park,
16
00:01:06,858 --> 00:01:09,486
but there was just nowhere here for it.
17
00:01:10,904 --> 00:01:13,364
So that was--
It was a big thing to give up.
18
00:01:13,948 --> 00:01:15,950
[emotional music playing]
19
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,837
As daft as it sounds,
one of the reasons that I did downsize
20
00:01:27,837 --> 00:01:30,215
was to be able to get to more games.
21
00:01:30,215 --> 00:01:32,175
Because this is me passion,
22
00:01:33,343 --> 00:01:35,845
erm... and with costs sort of...
23
00:01:35,845 --> 00:01:36,930
[zipping bag]
24
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:39,849
...for other things,
spiraling out of control,
25
00:01:40,934 --> 00:01:43,353
erm... you've got to find
the money from somewhere.
26
00:01:44,979 --> 00:01:46,648
We've got Wycombe in the final,
27
00:01:46,648 --> 00:01:49,734
so I'm looking forward to the trip
to London for the weekend.

[calm piano music playing]
29
00:01:51,486 --> 00:01:53,363
Go and get the car sorted out,
30
00:01:53,988 --> 00:01:55,115
pick Michelle up.
31
00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:57,951
Erm... Sorry, go and get her
a cup of tea first.
32
00:01:58,451 --> 00:01:59,285
Or two.
33
00:01:59,994 --> 00:02:02,789
I always get two cups,
thinking one for me, one for her.
34
00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:04,124
And I never end up getting any.
35
00:02:04,124 --> 00:02:05,917
She has them both 'cause,
36
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.

[calm piano music continues]
38
00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:16,845
Hi, mate.
Can I just have two large teas, please?
39
00:02:16,845 --> 00:02:18,888
- [man] Yeah. Anything else?
- That's it, boss.
40
00:02:18,888 --> 00:02:20,557
- All right, well, thanks.
- Thanks now.
41
00:02:20,557 --> 00:02:22,350
- Do you want any sugars or anything?
- Cheers.
42
00:02:23,268 --> 00:02:27,522
Very, very rarely do we go
to games, uh, without each other.
43
00:02:28,022 --> 00:02:31,860
We're best friends. Uh, so,
first and foremost, we're good mates.

[horn honking]
45
00:02:34,904 --> 00:02:36,990
Right. Is there anything else?
46
00:02:38,324 --> 00:02:39,909
[Michelle] Oh, what a dear.
47
00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:42,954
[Ian] All right.
48
00:02:42,954 --> 00:02:44,539
[Michelle] Oh, we must be mad.
49
00:02:44,539 --> 00:02:45,790
[Ian laughing]
50
00:02:45,790 --> 00:02:47,709
- There's your usual.
- [Michelle] Oh.
51
00:02:47,709 --> 00:02:48,918
[Ian] Two teas.
52
00:02:48,918 --> 00:02:51,296
- None for me and two for you.
- [Michelle chuckles]

[emotional music continues]
54
00:02:52,922 --> 00:02:54,841
{\an8}Our club's history is massive.
55
00:02:54,841 --> 00:02:56,968
{\an8}[commentator] Now's the chance
for the Sunderland team
56
00:02:56,968 --> 00:02:59,679
{\an8}to show their cheering followers
the trophy. What a team.
57
00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:03,183
{\an8}Our glory days were
long, long, long past us.
58
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:07,312
{\an8}The last thing I remember
was winning the FA Cup in 1973.
59
00:03:07,312 --> 00:03:09,564
{\an8}And unfortunately, I wasn't at that match.
60
00:03:09,564 --> 00:03:11,649
You truly don't know
what the highs are like
61
00:03:11,649 --> 00:03:13,610
unless you've experienced the lows.
62
00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:17,030
As football clubs go,
I think we've had our share of lows.
63
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:18,656
[Ian] There's no doubt about that.
64
00:03:18,656 --> 00:03:23,369
I was lucky to be at Wembley in 1973
for the FA Cup Final.
65
00:03:23,369 --> 00:03:26,831
[commentator] Sunderland have done it!
Stokoe can't believe it!

Oh, what a day!
67
00:03:28,416 --> 00:03:30,043
[Ian] And from that point on,
68
00:03:30,543 --> 00:03:33,379
a life of misery was inflicted on us
69
00:03:33,379 --> 00:03:36,090
when it came to going to Wembley
to watch Sunderland.

Oh, and it's an own goal!

Oh, an opportunity spurned!

{\an8}[emotional music continues]

[Ian] For the next seven or eight times,
75
00:03:52,523 --> 00:03:54,901
we managed to lose every game.

And Charlton are promoted!

[Michelle] But this time, we're going
into this final a different team.
82
00:04:21,302 --> 00:04:22,845
I'm quite confident,
83
00:04:23,763 --> 00:04:26,099
and I probably shouldn't say that.
84

if it goes wrong then.

the people of Sunderland
are feeling incredibly optimistic.

I've actually put the kit out
142
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,001
at Wembley myself.
143
00:07:40,501 --> 00:07:43,546
I was kit man at Middlesbrough.
That's my team as a boy.
144
00:07:43,546 --> 00:07:47,425
But I've been here for ten years now,
and this is, like, my club now.
145
00:07:47,425 --> 00:07:50,219
{\an8}And if anyone asks me who I want to win,
Middlesbrough or Sunderland,
146
00:07:50,219 --> 00:07:51,554
{\an8}it's always gonna be Sunderland.
147
00:07:53,055 --> 00:07:55,558
But I didn't realize until I'd started...

[woman] Hello. How are you?
149
00:07:57,018 --> 00:07:59,312
[Stephen] ...how much it meant
to everyone at the club.

00:07:59,812 --> 00:08:01,814
- It's just like, they just live for it.
- Yeah, good.

00:08:04,358 --> 00:08:07,153
{\an8}We've been in League One
for, like, so long,
154
00:08:07,862 --> 00:08:12,366
and a lot of people lost their jobs
because of the situation the club was in.
155
00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:15,119
My boss got made redundant.
156
00:08:15,119 --> 00:08:18,456
People took pay cuts.
I myself took a pay cut to stay here.

[birds chirping]
158
00:08:20,625 --> 00:08:26,214
But I think since Alex has come in
and we've signed some great players,
159
00:08:26,214 --> 00:08:28,716
I feel like the combination
of the players that we've got
160
00:08:28,716 --> 00:08:30,593
and the manager and the staff,
161
00:08:31,093 --> 00:08:33,304
really feel like there's a massive belief
162
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.

but he loves this club.

00:08:56,702 --> 00:08:58,746
[Lynden] My dream
when I came here was to play
171
00:08:58,746 --> 00:09:02,458
in the Premier League for Sunderland,
and I done that quite young in my career.
172
00:09:04,043 --> 00:09:08,005
But then, less than two seasons later,
I'm playing in League One.
173
00:09:08,506 --> 00:09:10,508
[music fades]
174
00:09:12,927 --> 00:09:15,846
So this is basically
all the players from the academy
175
00:09:15,846 --> 00:09:18,516
who end up making a senior debut.
176
00:09:19,016 --> 00:09:19,976
Um...
177
00:09:19,976 --> 00:09:22,687
And a few pictures
of... of the boys, obviously.
178
00:09:23,271 --> 00:09:26,148
A couple of legends right there,
Jordan Henderson, Jordan Pickford.
179
00:09:26,148 --> 00:09:27,525
And there's me.
180
00:09:28,025 --> 00:09:31,153
That was when I scored my first goal
for Sunderland. Carlisle away.
181
00:09:32,154 --> 00:09:33,072
Good time.
182
00:09:33,072 --> 00:09:34,907
[commentator] Chance here
for Lynden Gooch!
183
00:09:34,907 --> 00:09:38,452
- [fans cheer]
- And Lynden Gooch takes center stage!
184
00:09:38,452 --> 00:09:39,870
[upbeat music playing]
185
00:09:39,870 --> 00:09:41,122
[Lynden] I wasn't born here,
186
00:09:41,122 --> 00:09:44,667
but I've been affiliated with the club
since I was a ten-year-old boy.
187
00:09:45,251 --> 00:09:48,588
Sixteen years now
that I've been a part of this club.
188
00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:50,881
{\an8}And I'm very proud
of where I grew up in California.
189
00:09:52,216 --> 00:09:54,552
But yeah, I do see Sunderland as my home.
190
00:09:55,553 --> 00:09:57,513
I like to think I'm an adopted Mackem.
191
00:09:59,974 --> 00:10:01,601
We've got a great bond in the team.
192
00:10:02,101 --> 00:10:05,104
Going on to achieve something
would just make us even closer.
193
00:10:07,023 --> 00:10:08,024
[music fades]
194
00:10:08,024 --> 00:10:09,108
[birds chirping]
195
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,903
- [Jack] Woah.
- [Patrick] Watch out, lads.
196
00:10:12,903 --> 00:10:15,239
- [laughs]
- [low dramatic music playing]
197
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.
198
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,994
- [Jack] Yeah.
- See who goes first.
199
00:10:21,162 --> 00:10:23,039
{\an8}They're gonna...
They're gonna hear me stripe this.
200
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:24,373
{\an8}[Alex] Straight at that bunker.
201
00:10:24,373 --> 00:10:26,542
[Patrick]
Straight at these trees to my left.
202
00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:28,336
[Jack] Oh, Jesus.
203
00:10:29,378 --> 00:10:30,880
- [Jack] Shot, Al.
- [Alex] Yeah!
204
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,089
Striped.
205
00:10:33,883 --> 00:10:36,218
- [Jack] I'll see you up there.
- [Alex laughing] Yeah!
206
00:10:36,218 --> 00:10:38,512
{\an8}- [Patrick] Green.
- Oh, there you go. Left.
207
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:41,349
- [Jack] Stinks.
- [Alex] Reset.
208
00:10:41,349 --> 00:10:43,184
[Jack] Nah, stinks!
209
00:10:44,101 --> 00:10:46,354
[Alex] This will go so far right now.
210
00:10:46,354 --> 00:10:47,730
Such haters.
211
00:10:48,814 --> 00:10:51,817
- Oh, it has gone right as well.
- [Alex laughing] Called it!
212
00:10:51,817 --> 00:10:54,779
He's been shit-hot
for the past two days, I tell you.
213
00:10:54,779 --> 00:10:57,239
Ever since I've come in,
it's always been a great group,
214
00:10:57,239 --> 00:11:00,409
and I think you've got to have
that good team bonding,
215
00:11:00,409 --> 00:11:03,371
team understanding off the pitch
in order to get success.
216
00:11:04,288 --> 00:11:07,541
Going into the second leg,
I felt like there was just more belief.
217
00:11:07,541 --> 00:11:08,876
[low dramatic music continues]
218
00:11:08,876 --> 00:11:11,295
You look back at that Sheffield Wednesday
second leg away
219
00:11:11,295 --> 00:11:12,755
from home when you scored, Pat.
220
00:11:12,755 --> 00:11:14,674
I didn't know what to do, mate. [chuckles]
221
00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:17,051
I swear you got poked in the eye.
Didn't you poke him?
222
00:11:17,051 --> 00:11:19,470
- I was running all over the gaff.
- Nah, I was shushing.
223
00:11:19,470 --> 00:11:20,930
- [Alex] Shushing?
- I was shushing.
224
00:11:20,930 --> 00:11:22,848
I got started on after the game by a fan.
225
00:11:22,848 --> 00:11:25,059
- Right. [chuckles]
- I was just like...
226
00:11:25,059 --> 00:11:27,853
[Jack] If we'd gone on to lose that game,
I don't think it'd be better.
227
00:11:27,853 --> 00:11:29,730
Nah, we couldn't have lost that game.
228
00:11:29,730 --> 00:11:32,024
You've lost in the playoffs
and I've lost in the playoffs.
229
00:11:32,024 --> 00:11:34,276
- It's the worst feeling in the world.
- It's horrible.
230
00:11:34,276 --> 00:11:36,654
You've been that close
and then it just gets pulled away.
231
00:11:36,654 --> 00:11:40,116
You've got all summer just thinking about
where you could have been.
232
00:11:40,116 --> 00:11:41,033
Yeah.
233
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:43,911
Wycombe are gonna be a good team, like.
234
00:11:43,911 --> 00:11:45,371
I don't like this story of, like,
235
00:11:45,371 --> 00:11:49,083
"Oh, we're the underdogs, the small club.
Sunderland are a massive club."
236
00:11:49,083 --> 00:11:51,752
"They've got the fans, players,
they've been in the Premier League."
237
00:11:51,752 --> 00:11:52,920
Like, that was years ago.
238
00:11:53,838 --> 00:11:56,298
So stop going on about
you're the underdogs.
239
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:59,552
Wycombe have done a lot more
than Sunderland in the last five years.
240
00:11:59,552 --> 00:12:01,011
[tense music playing]
241
00:12:02,888 --> 00:12:05,141
[reporter] You now know
it's going to be Wycombe Wanderers,
242
00:12:05,141 --> 00:12:07,143
who've got a great identity.
243
00:12:07,143 --> 00:12:10,146
What are your thoughts on what kind
of threats they pose in this final?
244
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:12,898
I think they're really difficult.
245
00:12:12,898 --> 00:12:15,651
{\an8}You don't necessarily
need to play well to be dangerous.
246
00:12:15,651 --> 00:12:19,071
- [dramatic music playing]
- [crowd cheering]
247
00:12:21,407 --> 00:12:23,784
But they're a team
that can lull you into a false sense
248
00:12:23,784 --> 00:12:26,912
of thinking you're doing well,
and then they can damage you.
249
00:12:28,414 --> 00:12:30,458
- [fans cheering]
- [commentator] Vokes!
250
00:12:34,211 --> 00:12:36,422
They are very direct in how they play.
251
00:12:36,422 --> 00:12:37,757
That's the challenge.
252
00:12:37,757 --> 00:12:39,300
[commentator] Swirling corner.
253
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:42,094
Who's gonna get a header?
The answer is Sam Vokes.
254
00:12:42,678 --> 00:12:45,765
[man] Set pieces,
they've decided World Cup Finals,
255
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:47,975
so they're okay
to decide a League One playoff.
256
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,312
This team's fighting for its life,
absolutely fighting for its life.
257
00:12:51,312 --> 00:12:52,521
And I said to my boys,
258
00:12:52,521 --> 00:12:56,025
{\an8}"You gotta win these little fights now.
It's not all about this fancy football."
259
00:12:56,025 --> 00:12:57,735
[dramatic music continues]
260
00:12:57,735 --> 00:13:00,571
[commentator 2] A lot of wrestling
and grappling going on.
261
00:13:05,868 --> 00:13:08,704
[male pundit] Wycombe are horrible
so-and-so's
262
00:13:08,704 --> 00:13:10,414
to encounter in a one-off match.
263
00:13:10,414 --> 00:13:12,541
[fans and players cheering]
264
00:13:15,628 --> 00:13:17,505
[reporter] Gareth Ainsworth has come out
and said
265
00:13:17,505 --> 00:13:20,382
that Sunderland's the biggest club
outside the Premier League.
266
00:13:20,382 --> 00:13:23,803
Is that, do you think, maybe trying
to put a bit of pressure on you?
267
00:13:23,803 --> 00:13:26,514
[pundit 2] The good thing for Wycombe is
they don't have to play well
268
00:13:26,514 --> 00:13:29,850
to win the game. It's about
Wycombe trying to unsettle Sunderland.
269
00:13:30,434 --> 00:13:33,521
- [music continues]
- [fans cheering]
270
00:13:35,314 --> 00:13:38,609
[commentator 3] And the Chairboys
are heading back to Wembley!
271
00:13:38,609 --> 00:13:41,153
[Gareth] We've crushed these playoffs.
Nobody gave us a chance.
272
00:13:41,153 --> 00:13:43,447
{\an8}These boys can achieve anything,
I tell you that.
273
00:13:43,447 --> 00:13:45,616
[music crescendoes and fades]
274
00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:49,495
[Alex] We know what's coming our way.
275
00:13:49,995 --> 00:13:53,707
We've got to match that endeavor,
that effort, that aggression.
276
00:13:53,707 --> 00:13:55,960
[players shouting]
277
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,879
But equally, talent.
278
00:13:59,547 --> 00:14:00,923
You know, talent is key.
279
00:14:01,423 --> 00:14:03,717
Because you can be
as aggressive as you like,
280
00:14:03,717 --> 00:14:07,137
but you need players
that are gonna be able to create things
281
00:14:07,137 --> 00:14:09,014
and... and make a difference.
282
00:14:09,014 --> 00:14:11,100
[intriguing music playing]
283
00:14:14,728 --> 00:14:16,730
[music intensifies]
284
00:14:18,774 --> 00:14:21,777
[Ross] When I was young,
I always kind of pictured myself
285
00:14:21,777 --> 00:14:23,362
playing in these big stadiums.
286
00:14:24,530 --> 00:14:27,366
You always kicked the ball
in the field or in the park
287
00:14:27,366 --> 00:14:30,744
and envisaged playing
in front of massive crowds.
288
00:14:32,079 --> 00:14:34,164
I played youth football in Scotland.
289
00:14:34,873 --> 00:14:37,543
Kind of found myself falling out the game,
290
00:14:38,043 --> 00:14:39,128
not enjoying it.
291
00:14:39,837 --> 00:14:41,088
And then I thought,
292
00:14:41,088 --> 00:14:43,716
"Right, I need to think about
what I'm going to do with my life."
293
00:14:45,426 --> 00:14:47,011
"Am I even gonna keep playing?"
294
00:14:47,887 --> 00:14:48,971
And what I done was I left,
295
00:14:48,971 --> 00:14:51,849
{\an8}and I went and played
for a team down-- Just local.
296
00:14:54,184 --> 00:14:56,604
But I kind of found
that like I enjoyed it more.
297
00:14:56,604 --> 00:14:57,896
[applause]
298
00:14:57,896 --> 00:14:59,523
My enjoyment came back.
299
00:14:59,523 --> 00:15:01,233
[commentator 1] There's a great son there.
300
00:15:02,026 --> 00:15:03,861
[commentator 2] ...looking to settle
their nerves.
301
00:15:03,861 --> 00:15:05,571
[Ross] I went to Kilwinning Rangers.
302
00:15:05,571 --> 00:15:06,488
[whistle blows]
303
00:15:06,488 --> 00:15:08,198
The Buffs to kick us off
in the first half.
304
00:15:08,198 --> 00:15:09,491
[Ross] Scored a lot of goals.
305
00:15:09,491 --> 00:15:12,870
And then towards the end of that season
was when, obviously, I had interest.
306
00:15:13,495 --> 00:15:16,707
{\an8}Albion Rovers wanted to pay £1000 for me...
307
00:15:16,707 --> 00:15:18,292
{\an8}[inspirational music playing]
308
00:15:18,292 --> 00:15:21,295
{\an8}...and Kilwinning Rangers wanted £1500.
309
00:15:21,295 --> 00:15:23,547
[commentator] Is this gonna be
the game's turning point?
310
00:15:23,547 --> 00:15:26,342
[Ross] Chances like that,
they don't come about often.
311
00:15:27,009 --> 00:15:30,179
I was speaking to the Albion Rovers
manager, Darren Young, at the time.
312
00:15:30,179 --> 00:15:32,556
And he's like, "Oh, we've only got 1000.
We can't do more."
313
00:15:32,556 --> 00:15:34,850
And it was my dad who said,
"Well, I'll pay."
314
00:15:35,351 --> 00:15:39,104
"I'll give you the extra 500
to make the fee."
315
00:15:39,104 --> 00:15:40,981
"To allow my boy to go,
'cause he wants to go,
316
00:15:40,981 --> 00:15:44,026
he wants obviously
a new challenge, level up."
317
00:15:45,027 --> 00:15:46,987
{\an8}So when I look back, it's probably--
318
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.
319
00:15:50,074 --> 00:15:52,618
- [inspirational music continues]
- [crowd] Yes!
320
00:15:55,704 --> 00:15:58,791
When Sunderland came calling,
I was like, "Wow. Massive club."
321
00:15:58,791 --> 00:16:00,417
"You know, that's where I want to go."
322
00:16:00,417 --> 00:16:03,754
{\an8}[YouTuber] Sunderland have completed
the signing of a new player.
323
00:16:03,754 --> 00:16:06,715
{\an8}We've got a striker. It's Ross Stewart.
324
00:16:06,715 --> 00:16:09,093
Not many people know
who he is or where he's come from.
325
00:16:09,093 --> 00:16:11,679
[YouTuber 2] I've never claimed to know
much about this lad.
326
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:13,472
- He seems half-decent.
- [music fades]
327
00:16:13,472 --> 00:16:15,641
[YouTuber 3] If you look
at the goal tally this season,
328
00:16:15,641 --> 00:16:17,226
2 in 19 in the Scottish Premier League,
329
00:16:17,226 --> 00:16:19,228
you'd say, "Well, yeah,
why are we signing him?"
330
00:16:19,228 --> 00:16:22,189
I've just got a--
Don't know, it's just a bad, bad feeling.

but obviously, we were looking for a 9,
333
00:16:29,029 --> 00:16:32,157
{\an8}and he predominantly played as an 11,
as a wide attacker.

wasn't something

that was going to naturally
attract you to him,
337

the physical attributes

that we felt we could coach up.
339

00:36:18,509 --> 00:36:21,053
They were hanging people upside down
over the railings.
669
00:36:21,053 --> 00:36:22,054
[both laughing]
670
00:36:22,054 --> 00:36:25,474
[male fan 2] This is it.
It's our year, our time.
671
00:36:27,476 --> 00:36:28,477
It was...
672
00:36:29,937 --> 00:36:31,355
I'm getting emotional now.
673
00:36:32,481 --> 00:36:36,360
To see the lads do us proud...
674
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,155
And I've seen my lads win at Wembley.
675
00:36:39,947 --> 00:36:41,949
And it... it's...
676
00:36:41,949 --> 00:36:43,826
I can't tell you the emotions.
677
00:36:43,826 --> 00:36:47,205
I've been to all the previous finals
where we've lost,
678
00:36:47,955 --> 00:36:51,584
and just to see the... the joy
on everyone's faces,
679
00:36:52,585 --> 00:36:54,879
it was quite a magical thing, actually.
680
00:36:54,879 --> 00:36:59,008
Just this time for it all to go right
was truly wonderful.
681
00:36:59,008 --> 00:37:03,012
Perfect for me to be able to see
me bestie, me best friend,
682
00:37:03,012 --> 00:37:06,015
experience that at Wembley. Brilliant.
683
00:37:07,099 --> 00:37:10,436
I'm getting a bit choked up now,
just thinking about it.
684
00:37:11,103 --> 00:37:13,105
[emotional music continues]
685
00:37:20,905 --> 00:37:22,573
[inaudible]
686
00:37:30,456 --> 00:37:32,458
[music continues]
687
00:37:45,012 --> 00:37:47,014
[music fades]
688
00:37:52,770 --> 00:37:54,772
[birds chirping]
689
00:38:03,531 --> 00:38:05,533
[gentle music playing]
690
00:38:38,482 --> 00:38:40,484
[music continues]
691
00:38:45,156 --> 00:38:46,282
[exhales deeply]
692
00:38:52,246 --> 00:38:56,959
[priest] I've sat alongside many people
in their final moments.
693
00:39:03,007 --> 00:39:06,427
We're here to give them hope
and strength and solace,
694
00:39:07,762 --> 00:39:11,057
to support,
to remind them of their dignity.
695
00:39:14,518 --> 00:39:18,481
To remind them that they belong
to something bigger than themselves.
696
00:39:26,447 --> 00:39:30,951
To remind them that they have
the capacity to love and be loved.
697
00:39:44,382 --> 00:39:48,052
If you're with somebody
surrounded by people that love them,
698
00:39:48,636 --> 00:39:50,262
and even in their final moments,
699
00:39:50,262 --> 00:39:52,681
they're talking about
Sunderland football club,
700
00:39:53,182 --> 00:39:54,558
about praying for the team
701
00:39:54,558 --> 00:39:57,269
and cheering the team on
from the other side...
702
00:40:00,481 --> 00:40:03,984
this is so important in people's lives,
703
00:40:03,984 --> 00:40:07,196
and it's gonna be
important to them in death as well.
704
00:40:08,989 --> 00:40:12,618
[hearse arriving]
705
00:40:16,580 --> 00:40:19,417
["Shipyards" by
Martin Longstaff playing on violin]
706
00:40:21,419 --> 00:40:23,254
Love is eternal.
707
00:40:25,423 --> 00:40:27,091
Love doesn't end with death.
708
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,014
[fans cheering in the distance]
709
00:40:34,014 --> 00:40:36,892
[uplifting music playing]
710
00:40:37,518 --> 00:40:39,770
And loving Sunderland football club
711
00:40:40,271 --> 00:40:43,274
is a love that stays with you
for all eternity.
712
00:40:44,859 --> 00:40:46,861
[fans applauding]
713
00:41:03,752 --> 00:41:05,754
