My first derby I was about 17 and couldnt believe the noise the Mags made. I've seen 100s of games since but that game sticks in my mind for every player wanting it so bad. Every player gave a 10/10 performance. Owers was special that night. Great memories.

[@PatrickKelly-lz3pv]

I was 17 it was my first derby i couldn't hear the Mag because of the noise the Sunderland supporters were making.

[@SunderlandAFCTV]

I was there 18 and in the Leazes End. I had been at St. James earlier in the season when Marco scored but the atmosphere was nothing like this night. It still stands as one of the greatest nights of my Sunderland supporting life. Pandemonium when the 2nd goal went in. The bus back was like a rave. 70 year old men with walking sticks were dancing in the aisles. A special night.

[@TheChozenone-wm7ss]

My first Derby

[@theferret390]

Was at that game in with toon fans (paddocks) couldn't get ticket for away end got to say after gates goal never heard em rest of game.SAFC.

[@DavyRo]

I enjoyed myself that night I was one of them standing on the barriers after Marco scored. Walking down to the train station singing Wembley was the best winding the thick heeds up. It was as funny as out we could see starting to get to the halfway line & they started to stop running then jogging then walking to a stop cos we were just bouncing singing our heeds off. I wish they got to us cos we were about half a metre below the pitch they'd have been dragged in & pummeled. We knew it, it was hilarious one of the best nights of life. There was 4 & half thousand of us & it was 99% all 18 to 30 year olds who were just taking the piss Happy days.

[@venustus129]

I was there too. What a night. One of the best ever supporting Sunderland , love it when we beat the skunks ! 🔴⚪️👍

Love the Newcastle fan stamping on his shirt in the centre circle right at the end

[@UXB-p5u]

Still reading 'Janet and John ' are we David? What a bizarre comment.

[@keithfenwick9992]

He was having a good old jump on that manky shirt. 3rd pitch incursion of the game. Should have been a 10 point deduction, would have meant relegation next season😂

[@jasonparfitt5936]

I’m aIpswich fan and loved watching the clips ,great atmosphere and Eric Gates still had it.

[@venustus129]

Gates and gabbiadini had a brilliant partnership ! The g force we called them , the skill and guile of Eric and the power and pace of gabbiadini were one of the best partnerships I’ve seen at Sunderland , they were perfect for each other. Happy memories.

[@marksims3904]

Ipswich fan also, love Eric Gates. Ugly as sin but my god what skills. Used to frighten me as he ran to the old north stand in the early eighties., you could hear the cries of "esmerelda" from the town fans behind me. (It's a hunchback of Notre Dame reference)

[@rokerlad49]

Great day great night whatever goonswarmy .... say that was our day . Most important north east derby E V E R to date .

[@georgianwindow]

Sunderland so much more composed than the mags, calm footballing their way to the two goals...

[@mcfcste99]

That Aways end looks mint when the second goes in

[@colinatkinson9252]

Best night of my life in the Leaszes end with the Shields branch and all my best mates.

[@SimonMonchatre]

I was there. Obviously my favourite away game of all time . Beat the mags to go to Wembley - priceless 👌

[@ArtbyJoeH]

I was too, sitting in the Milburn stand with the mags! So hard to stay silent when we scored.... twice

[@Rowdy-Cowboy]

"G force' Fantastic night, 8 pints in the New Derby, bus through, standing squashed and tightly packed mid terrace right behind the goal Leazes End......I remember Gabiadini's winning goal, at the time, watching it as it happened from immediately behind the net, the ball seemed to take ages to find it's way into the far corner of the net.....but you just knew it was going in as it bounced it's way past Burridge cos he was far too close to his goal line..... Yippee!😁

[@goosemav8628]

We always fuck up the mags hopes and dreams 😂😂😂FTM

[@jamiedalrymple3689]

One of the best nights of my life FTM 🔴⚪🔴⚪

Christ 30 years ago.... taking me back to spending my paper round money on getting in to the fulwell end for £3...

[@venustus129]

I was there , what a night ! Went to the final at Wembley aswell , what a letdown, we didn’t turn up , we did get promoted because of Swindon doing something dodgy with their accounts. Lol

[@SuperR160]

I was there!! 8 years old in the Milburn paddock with me dad... Remember him picking me up & we left the ground when the fans started running on the pitch. Scared shitless I was. 😂

[@patrickmalone1902]

Newcastle, a massive club in Newcastle.

[@johnrambo3107]

Sunderland not even a massive club in monkwearmouth

[@BaronMichaelDeBlone1066]

Nice combination for the second goal. From Gates and Gabbiadini to Grigg and Graham...what the hell happened?

[@freespirit4706]

I was 8 years old in the Milburn paddock. Remember my dad taken me out once the fans ran on the pitch.

[@glennmclaren880]

A brilliant day out. Xxx

[@bobchr0]

wonderful game.Gabiadini was an absolute star.

[@rayjoseph3980]

A multi billionaire needs to buy Sunderland They have the following and if they ever made it back to pL. players would be lining up to sign and bet he payers that brought them back to bat inks attention and relevance. Stadium of light sold out no matter what Easy. You sign 3 stars and produce 3 stars. Make it a 4-5 year process. Like I did in FIFA lol. Top 4 in PL !! Might make champions league !! Lol

[@briansaiditsoitmustbetrue4206]

AHH, the good old days when Sunderland USED to be a good football club.

[@TheGT73]

Ha ha! Love it after the final whistle and the mag runs to the centre circle and takes off his gravy stained NUFC top, throws it on the ground and junps on it! 😆😆😆

[@toonarmy9823]

i was there this day in the scoreboard end gallowgate . electrifying atmosphere.

He was from spennymoor, friend of my dad. I played football with him as a kid, he was a gentleman

[@mikewray6387]

spoke to eric gates some years later he mentioned this match and said it was the quickest he d ever ran to get off the pitch haha.

[@ArchieFatcackie]

There seems to have been some kind of force field present when them Mags reached the half way line.

[@JFDA5458]

Great to see this again after so many years. You have to wonder what might have happened if the NUFC fans hadn't invaded the pitch?

[@M4DDISON]

some things never change

[@goosemav8628]

So they run half way up the pitch try to look rock hard In front of our fans then run back 😅😅😅

[@marviwilson1853]

I was on a ship with a Newcastle supporter as an AB. After our victory I had to keep a muted response. Any sign that I was celebrating would have been met with violence at the cost of his job. This is the difference between Sunderland and Newcastle supporters. We can accept defeat and move on. They can not.

[@Mashmarriner69]

I miss derbies like this

[@TheTmny876able]

taffy were you at wembley in 1985 ? that was out of this world the atmosphere, but that was a night as good as winning the f a cup, when you think we have never been 2nd in the premier league/europe but an amazing run for the 6 on the trot as well. We might play them next season yet.

[@peterstabler2321]

Saddest I have ever been leaving the ground but if we had won we wouldn't have got Sir John Hall in and the Keegan years wouldn't have happened so thanks for that.

[@SunderlandAFCTV]

Your welcome, mate. Happy to beat you at St. James anytime. I'm glad it made you happy.

[@waynethompson3216]

[@davidgraham6781]

Remember this very well..won over the two legs then get to Wembley and lose 1-0 to Ossie Ardiles's Swindon Town in the final. Then find out later cheaty Swindon broke some rules and then what u know it the Football ⚽ League promoted Sunderland into the first division ➗ instead and demoted Swindon for their part. 😆 😂 *Saying that in the following season in the top flight we went straight back 🔙 down again. 😆
