This morning we’ve got the third and final part of our G-Force trilogy, looking back at Eric Gates and Marco Gabbiadini’s time at Sunderland, and the glorious finish of the 89-90 season!
On today’s show, Martin, Kelvin and Andrew look back at:
Eric Gates’ retirement plans – will he, or won’t he? (He’d have been terrible on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire)
Denis Smith’s post-Christmas struggles
His February plans to fund some new signings
Gatesy’s decision to play on for another year
And, Denis Smith’s decision to give him a free – before promotion was confirmed!
