They would never admit to it but there was definitely an attempt to try and replicate what we had done under Keegan when they saw how it took off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Uni, there were three Daniels, One was a Liverpool fan from Blackburn so got Scouse Dan, one entered and exited every room remarkably quickly so got Rocket Dan, and then there was Dan Chiltern who told us everyone called him Chills or Chilly and thus Smelly Dan was born. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right down to turning to shit on the field, although of course, they had to take that another level. We even gifted them their proper nick name. You didn't here it much before '92 imo.

The Fish 10855 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I maintain they're only in the modern football fan's consciousness because of their connection to us. Nobody from Brighton or Brentford would think of them as anything other than a long away trip in the cup. They're no different to Ipswich or Reading, really. The only thing that marks them as different is their attendances. But (like Everton), that home crowd isn't much of an advantage when they turn so quickly on their managers, their players and their owners. That forum is peppered with anecdotes of some Sunderland fan chatting to fans of other clubs, to a man they hate Newcastle United. We've all got mates who support other clubs, and I don't know about you but I can count on one hand the number of times Sunderland have come up in conversation organically. And not for some time, I might add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzler 9723 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I always remember a piss take out of Danny Dyer's football hooligan docuseries (called Wheel Football Factorweez or something) from years ago starring "Danny Dire". He did an episode in Sunderland and the opening monologue started with "Sunderland - famous for Newcastle" Found it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
