Nine retro photos of you wearing your Sunderland and County Durham football shirts from the past
National Football Shirt Day arrives in the UK on November 19th and is an opportunity for people to wear their favorite shirts while donating to cancer research.
To get you in the mood for the big day, we searched the Sunderland Echo archives to find these scenes of Farringdon, Durham Road, Seaburn Dene and the Stadium of Light as well as many more.
So let’s get ready to encourage the memories with a look back at these soccer striptease scenes.
