SUNDERLAND COMPLETE RECORD TRANSFER On this day in 1948, Sunderland completed the signing of Len Shackleton from rivals Newcastle United for a British record fee of £20,500. Born in Bradford, Shackleton began his professional career with Bradford Park Avenue before moving to Newcastle United in 1946. Extremely prolific in front of goal, Shackleton scored six goals on his debut as the Magpies hammered Newport County 13-0 in a Division Two fixture. The Bradford man’s consistency attracted the attention of big spenders and Newcastle’s fiercest rivals Sunderland. The Black Cats had earned the nickname of the ‘Bank of England’ club for their lavish spending and had some of the country’s biggest names in their squad. So on 4th February, Shackleton’s big money move broke the previous British transfer record set by David Jack when he moved from Bolton Wanderers to Arsenal in 1928. Shackleton played 348 league matches for Sunderland scoring 101 goals before retiring in 1957.
Just tapped on my link to not606 and its going straight to a not606 betting forum. Has the site been changed or is this a ****up somewhere? At the minute I can't get onto the Premier League forum.
So do I mate. And this betting board is what my links come straight to. I've pm'd a guy who's online right now and usually on the PL forum which I can't even see right now. See what he says.
Mines same you can get to PL forum by hitting watched threads, going into one and selection from there. Seems a bit ****ed to be fair.
Happened in Florida according to the news. And in NI the loyalists just aren't haviing it & they the ones keeping May in power. The Catholics are ****ed off because of power sharing breaking down. I've nowt against them even though they threw stones, petrol bombs & balloons filled with piss at me from the Divis Flats.
Sinn Fein pulled out because the DUP wouldn't agree to make it compulsory to teach everyone some little used Irish language..
