    Do we have a RAWA rep on here. Can we suggest @Prehab26 idea about renaming the West Stand after our player of the century? I think that's an amazing idea and actually why, after 27 years do we have the boring East, North and West stands?

    Anyone got a link to his authorised biography? I think ALS said they would give details on the podcast but I didn't catch the info.

    Have seen the clips - I expect it’ll be canny loud ion Saturday. I suppose with SheffWeds still needing a result to guarantee staying up , rules won’t allow - it would have been a nice touch if all our players could wear no 5

    It was indeed. Even I was surprised at how the young uns belted it out. A lot of them would never have seen him play.
    Shows what a great club we are, steeped in our history.

    I think the one mentioned is a free digital one as it is out of print.

    Dunno if it's been mentioned anywhere on the interweb but what about a minutes applause for Charlie on the 5th minute?

    I’m sure the club will have something planned pre match.

    A Charlie Hurley stand would be an excellent tribute and sound great too. (I would rename the 'Roker End' as I still think that name is a bit weird at the SOL).

    I've just come across a new quote, new to me that is.

    Brian Clough, that shy sensitive soul, was asked after his transfer from Middlesborough, Why Sunderland?
    Brian smiled and replied,
    'It was the only way I could avoid having to face Charlie Hurly again.'
