Sunderland 4-1 Town Mon 01st Jan 2001 17:57 A disastrous second half saw Town slump to their worst defeat since the 4-1 defeat in the QPR game in late 1999. The Blues had gone ahead in the fourth minute when Marcus Stewart ended a superb move and Town could have gone two-up when the ball ended up in the net from a corner. This was disallowed and Julio Arca scored an equaliser from a freekick. It was the second half however that was the real horror show for George Burley. |

Scowy Link Resurfaces Fri 22nd Dec 2000 12:01 The long-running link between James Scowcroft and Leicester City has reared its rather dull head once again this morning.
