“Dear Sunderland, I wanted to write to you about my mate Jack.”
When @SunderlandAFC’s Wilson Isidor read Jack’s story, he felt compelled to visit his Mum, Jackie.
What followed will remain with them forever ❤️
If Sunderland City Council gets its way, there will be homes built so close to the @StadiumOfLight that expansion of the South Stand will be impossible. Every Sunderland fan needs to log their objection to this proposal. The deadline is Fri 15 Aug. https://t.co/Dn8AveYgXt #SAFC
