And we have got the photos to prove it!
Take a look at 8 scenes from the East Herrington favourite and they include fans gathered outside – and on top of – the pub as the FA Cup parade came through Sunderland in 1973.
We also have reminders of the leek club in 2003 and 2004 as well as a darts reminder from 18 years ago.
