About this brick
We live in California and My son, Sebastien, bought this brick as a tribute to me and my dad, Derek, who started taking me to matches in 1967 when I was 5! We were at Wembley in 1973 and went to matches every week, often away as well, the highs and the lows, until he died from cancer in 1996. Since my sons were born, they both support Sunderland and have been to several games and Sebastien and I watch games together online in the USA! It’s a very special tribute from my son to my dad, who he never met as he died before Sebastien was born!
