WTF Sunderland Podcast

Sunderland are almost back, with the end of the international break now firmly on the horizon. But we still have room for one more special episode with Sunderland's longest running podcast Wise Men Say.

Bizarrely the first time we've ever appeared together on this channel, Graham and Kyle are joined by Stephen Goldsmith to discuss Brobbey and Ballard's hamstring injuries, WMS' podcast origins and a testing month ahead as Sunderland's look to pick up points in the Premier League and the Europa League.

Yes, it's one of those shameless promotional episodes. But WE ARE WEARSIDE is OUT NOW. The new book by our very own Graham and Peter.

Authors Graham and Peter join Alex to discuss why the decided to write the book which sees them go back to 11 men who wore the red and white and ask them to tell the stories behind the moments Sunderland supporters still talk about.

The triumphs, disasters, dressing rooms, managers, transfers and extraordinary incidents that never made the back pages are remembered by the people who were actually there - and what did they learn from it all?

What was it like chatting about Sunderland with heroes such as Patrick Roberts, Thomas Sorensen and Stefan Schwarz, and what were the interesting stories they have from a year's worth of talking to former SAFC players?

Every chapter is also part of a bigger story. Players arrive on Wearside from different countries, cultures and backgrounds, never quite knowing what they have signed up for. Some become heroes. Some divide opinion. Some are only truly understood years later.
