Story shared by visitors

I HAVE BEEN A SUNDERLAND SUPPORTER ALL MY LIFE AND WHEN I HEARD THAT YOU COULD BUY A BRICK TO PUT IN THE WALL AT THE STADIUM OF LIGHT FOR £25 I WAS STRAIGHT THERE. I WANTED TO PUT ON BILL ATKINSON ON THE TOP LINE AND OAKENSHAW ON THE BOTTOM LINE BUT UNFORTUNATELY I COULD NOT BECAUSE THERE WERE TOO MANY LETTERS FOR EACH LINE SO I ENDED UP PUTTINGB. ATKINSON ON THE TOP LINE AND 27-11-46 ON THE BOTTOM LINE THE DAY I WAS BORN.
