Showing my long term allegiance here. But without doubt it has to be 1978, Eric Potts.
Don't ask, just accept that I've seen everyone who has played since, and no-one comes even close.
Eric Potts, lightweight, limp, hopeless.....
BUT one glorious day, home to Sunderland, with the north east corner at the goldstone crammed full of machams, and losing 2-1 to them with 10 minutes to go, we brought on little giner eric, who never scored even in a brothel, and in that fateful game he scored with 2 minutes to go to bring us level. And he scored again deep in added time to give us the win. Long trip home for them. Hysterical laughter and disbelief for us. And EP became a cult hero that day.
Sorry if thats a bit ancient for most of you, but it happened, and I swear to god a myopic butterfly could have knocked eric over by accident back in them days.
come on you mighty seagulls, time to step up a gear....
