What is the story about?
Did you know that there’s a Sunderland AFC goalscorer who scored over 300 goals for the club? Susan Cox (nee Smith) played for SAFC’s women’s team from its formation in 1989 until 2001, and as one of the founding players from that era, she feels that the club need to recognise the true history of the team properly. On today’s show:
- Sue talks about why she feels so passionately about Sunderland – and why playing in red and white was the greatest honour of her life
- What was it like as a young lass from Seaham at a time when football wasn’t properly recognised as a woman’s sport?
- We go right back to the Sunderland AFC Ladies origin story… Sue talks us through where it all started and how it happened
- What’s it like to score against Newcastle… 19 times?!
- These lasses paved the way for some of the stars of the game… so surely it’s about time that their history was properly recognised by the football club, particularly now under new ownership?
